Common Questions
Still not sure which service is right for you? Give us a call and our team will happily help you choose.
Can I go platinum in one visit?
It depends on your starting color and hair history. Some clients can, while others need more than one session to reach platinum safely. We will tell you during your consultation.
Why does creative color require a consultation?
Fashion colors vary widely in how much lightening and time they need. A consultation lets us see your hair, plan the process, and give you an accurate price.
How do I keep my blonde from turning brassy?
Use a purple or toning shampoo, limit heat, and book a Gloss & Toner Refresh every 6 to 8 weeks.
Will bleaching damage my hair?
Any lightening changes the hair, so we protect it with careful technique and recommend treatments like Eufora Triple Bond Repair to keep it strong.
