Frequently Asked Questions for our Hair Color Services

Do you have a blonde hair specialist?

«

Yes. Monaco Salon is home to some of the best hairdressers in the state of Florida. Whether you are looking for icy platinum, warm honey, or dimensional highlights, our specialists have mastered the art of blonde. Every appointment begins with a consultation to ensure we achieve your perfect shade.

How do I remove box hair dye?

«

Please leave this to the professionals. Box dye is unpredictable and difficult to remove. If you are unhappy with at-home results, call us. Our Color Correction experts can gently remove the dye and restore your hair, but we advise against experimenting further at home to avoid permanent damage.

What's the difference between highlights or balayage?

«

The difference is the technique and the maintenance.
• Highlights (Foils): Create precise, defined streaks of brightness.
• Balayage (Hand-Painted): Creates a soft, sun-kissed gradient. Highlights typically require maintenance every 6–8 weeks, while balayage grows out more gracefully, offering a lower-maintenance option.

Which one should I get?

The answer depends on the look you want and how often are you willing to maintain it. Ask yourself how obvious you want your highlights to be, and if you want highlights all the way to the root. Highlights will have to be maintained every 6-8 weeks, while balayage usually grows out more gracefully, making it a lower-maintenance option.

Can I go from brunette to blonde in one appointment?

«

It depends on the health of your hair. Going significantly lighter is a chemical process that often requires multiple sessions to achieve the desired tone without causing damage. As blonding specialists, we will give you a safe, realistic plan to reach your goal.

How do I keep my hair color from fading?

«

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, wash less frequently, protect your hair from heat with a thermal spray, and minimize sun and chlorine exposure.

Schedule a gloss or toner service to give your color a boost if you're not due for a full color service.

What is “lived-in color”?

«

Lived-in color is a modern technique that blends multiple shades (often using a root melt) to create dimension that mimics how hair naturally grows out. It creates a graceful transition at the roots, allowing you more time between touch-ups while still looking polished.

How often will I need to touch up my hair color?

«

It depends on the type of color service and your personal preferences.

  • Root Retouch: Every 4–6 weeks.
  • Highlights: Every 6–8 weeks.
  • Lived-In Color: Every 3–4 months (many guests visit sooner for a quick Gloss to refresh the shine).
  • Vivids/Reds: Every 4–8 weeks.

Should I wash my hair before my color appointment?

«

Come with clean, dry hair if you're getting highlights, and avoid using heavy styling products the day of your appointment. It’s also helpful to bring inspiration photos and be ready to talk about your hair goals, maintenance preferences, and past color history so we can create the perfect plan for your hair.

Can you color my extensions or topper?

«

Yes! This is a Monaco Salon specialty. Most salons struggle with this, but we are experts at custom-coloring extensions to blend seamlessly with your biological hair. Whether we are coloring your natural hair, the extensions, or both, we ensure a flawless match.

What is a Fusio Dose Treatment?

«

Kérastase Fusio Dose is a customized in-salon treatment. Your stylist will mix a concentrated formula specifically for your hair needs (such as dryness, damage, or color protection) for an instant transformation that leaves your hair incredibly soft and shiny. Because it is customized cocktail just for you, it makes an ideal addition to your color service.
