Appointments usually last 60–120 minutes, including consultation, sectioning, and processing. Short hair and subtle placements are quicker; full-head or thicker hair requires more time. Your stylist will confirm exact timing when assessing hair and target result.

Highlights involve lightening which can affect hair integrity, but we use gentle lighteners, bond-building treatments, and controlled processing to minimize damage. Your stylist chooses placement and strength to protect hair while achieving luminous results.

Refresh frequency depends on placement and personal preference; face-framing or bold highlights may need touch-ups every 6–8 weeks, while softer, babylight-style highlights can last 10–14 weeks. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on hair growth and tone retention.

Yes, often—but it depends on the existing color and hair condition. A consultation and strand test determine compatibility. We may adjust formulation, pre-treat, or recommend corrective steps to ensure even lift and minimize breakage or unwanted tones.

Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, wash less frequently with cool water, and apply UV and heat-protectant products. Incorporate occasional bond-building masks to maintain strength and schedule professional toning as recommended to keep brassiness at bay.

Absolutely. Our stylists tailor placement, size, and tone of highlights to suit short cuts and varying textures. Subtle babylights, face-framing, or chunkier pieces can create dimension, lift, and movement without overwhelming the haircut.
