Color pricing varies by length, complexity, and product used. All color services are an additional charge on top of haircut prices. We'll provide an estimate during your consultation so you know total cost before services begin.

We use professional products and treatments to minimize damage. A consultation and strand test help determine the safest approach. Lightening or repeated processes increase risk, but we prioritize conditioning treatments and techniques that preserve integrity and reduce breakage.

Appointment time depends on complexity: single-process color is quicker, while highlights, balayage, or corrections take longer. Expect anywhere from 30 minutes for touch-ups to two or more hours for complex services. We'll provide a time estimate when you book.

Yes — we recommend a patch test for first-time clients or anyone with sensitivities. Patch tests identify allergic reactions and help stylists choose safe products. Tests are quick and scheduled before full service to ensure safe application.

Arrive with dry, product-free hair and bring reference photos for your desired look. Share recent color history, allergies, and hair care routine. Avoid heavy buildup or last-minute chemical services. This helps ensure accurate results and a smooth consultation.

Longevity depends on technique, hair porosity, and aftercare. Permanent color can last until regrowth requires touch-ups, while fashion shades may fade faster. Use sulfate-free shampoos, cool rinses, and recommended products; plan touch-ups every 4–8 weeks for vibrancy.
