Appointments typically run 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on hair length, density, and the complexity of color and highlight placement. A consultation at the start helps us set expectations and book the correct time for a relaxed, thorough service.

When performed by our trained stylists using heat protectants and correct temperature settings, the thermal press minimizes damage. We assess hair strength first and may recommend treatments or adjusted heat for compromised hair to maintain integrity while achieving smooth, polished results.

Color refreshes typically occur every 8–12 weeks; partial highlights usually need touch-ups around 10–12 weeks depending on regrowth and contrast. The thermal press lasts 2–6 weeks based on hair texture and home care—regular styling and sulfate-free products extend the finish.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and lukewarm water, limit washing to preserve color, and apply daily heat protectant for styled hair. Schedule deep-conditioning treatments and recommended at-home masks to maintain shine and strength; ask us about product recommendations tailored to your hair.

Yes, a patch test is recommended for clients using permanent or new formulas, ideally 48 hours before service to check for allergic reactions. This simple precaution helps ensure safety and peace of mind before applying color and heat treatments.
