Appointments typically range from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on root regrowth, number of highlights, hair length, and texture. Your stylist will give a precise time estimate during the consultation so we can schedule accordingly and ensure comfortable, unrushed service.

We recommend waiting at least two weeks after any chemical treatments like relaxers or keratin to allow hair to recover. For previous color services, consult your stylist; they'll assess condition and may adjust timing to protect hair integrity during highlights or touch-ups.

Our stylists use gentle, professional formulas and protective treatments to minimize damage. We tailor lightening strength and timing to your hair's condition, and recommend conditioning or bonding services when needed to preserve strength and elasticity.

Frequency depends on your growth rate, color contrast, and desired look. Typically every 6–8 weeks for root touch-ups and every 8–12 weeks for full highlight refreshes. Your stylist will recommend a personalized schedule to keep color seamless and vibrant.

Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water, limit heat styling, and apply deep-conditioning or bond-building treatments weekly. Ask your stylist about at-home products and maintenance tips to prolong vibrancy and protect highlighted sections between salon visits.

Yes — bring photos and discuss lifestyle, skin tone, and maintenance preferences during your consultation. Our stylists will assess hair condition and recommend color placement, shades, and techniques to achieve a close match while prioritizing hair health and realistic expectations.
