Do you have a blonde hair specialist?
«Damaris, Klodjana, Mabelle, Gabbi, Kristi, and Meg specialize in blonde and lightening services.
Can you remove box hair dye?
«Box color is one of the most common reasons clients seek color correction. Depending on the situation, we may remove the color, neutralize unwanted tones, or strategically layer new color to restore balance and dimension. Results and timelines vary based on what was used and how many layers are present.
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.

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.

Will my color look as good as the photos on Instagram?

How do I know if my hair color goals are realistic?
