What is considered a color correction?
A color correction is a service that's needed in case of bad color work or if you need a significant change to your current color.
How long will it take to reach my color goals?
Every head of hair lifts differently, so it is a case by case scenario. If you have box or permanent color on the hair, it will take more sessions to lighten your hair. Going from dark to blonde will have many different phases. However, we will find ways to rock each one.
What if my hair is too damaged?
If the hair is compromised or has old box color, I always do a test strand at consultation to see what the hair can handle first. I never attempt to push hair past it's limit.
How long will this take every session?
A color correction usually takes at least 4 hours, but it can differ depending on the situation. Fill out the digital consultation form button below!
What is Olaplex, and why do you use it?
Olaplex is like insurance for your hair. It is used to prevent breakage from intense chemical services.
