Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about FULL COLOR.

A full color appointment typically takes between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on length, thickness, porosity and desired change. Time includes consultation, application, processing, toner, conditioning and styling for polished, professional results.

When performed professionally with quality formulas and bond-building treatments, full color minimizes breakage. Proper timing, customized processing and a tailored aftercare plan reduce risk. We recommend strengthening treatments and home care to preserve hair integrity.

We recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours before washing or swimming to allow the color to set. Chlorine and saltwater can strip fresh dye, so avoid exposure or use protection and color-safe products when you next wash.

Touch-up frequency varies by growth rate and contrast, but most clients return every four to eight weeks for roots and refreshes. Your stylist will recommend a personalized schedule and mid-cycle glosses to extend vibrancy.

Significant tone changes may require lifting and could take more than one appointment for healthy results. During consultation we assess hair history and porosity, then propose a safe, stepwise plan with toning and treatments if needed.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner, plus weekly masks, UV protection and heat protectants. Color-depositing toners or glosses help maintain tone; ask about our curated professional at-home kits.
