Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full color.

A Full color appointment typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on hair length, thickness, and desired lift. Time includes consultation, application, processing, and finishing. Larger color changes or added treatments may extend the appointment for best results.

When done professionally, Full color minimizes damage through gentle formulas and protecting treatments. We perform strand tests and use bond-repair products as needed. Extensions require special handling—bring them to your consultation so we can plan color-safe techniques and avoid compromising attachment points.

Root touch-ups are typically needed every 4–6 weeks; full refreshes or glosses every 6–10 weeks depending on fade and hair care. We recommend using color-safe products and scheduling regular trims and conditioning to prolong vibrancy.

Sometimes, but dramatic changes may require multiple sessions to protect hair integrity. Lightening dark hair often needs staged lifts and bonding treatments. We’ll assess hair history and condition in consultation to create a safe, realistic plan and timeline for your desired result.

For best results, come with hair detangled and free of heavy product buildup. Don’t use clarifying products immediately before your appointment; slightly unwashed hair can protect the scalp. Bring reference photos and inform us of recent chemical treatments.

Longevity varies by hair porosity, care routine, and sun/heat exposure. Expect several weeks of vibrant color, with gradual fade. Maintain color with sulfate-free shampoos, cool water rinses, UV protection, limited heat styling, and professional gloss or refresh treatments as recommended.
