Highlights are small, lightened sections of hair, usually done with foils, to add contrast and brightness. They create a structured look without coloring all your hair.

Balayage is a freehand painting technique where the color is brushed onto the middle and ends of your hair. It creates a soft, natural, sun-kissed look with a smooth blend. It’s low maintenance and grows out beautifully. This technique can also be achieved with foils to achieve more lift and dimension. (Think of a “lived-in look”.)

All-over color means applying one color all over your head. It’s perfect if you want to cover gray, go darker, or lighter evenly. (Going lighter can only be achieved on virgin hair.)

A single-process color means applying one color all over your hair in one step.

A double-process involves first lightening your hair, then applying a second color or toner to achieve your final shade.

Sometimes yes — but if you want to go much lighter or fix previous color, it often takes a few visits to keep your hair healthy and get the best result.

Come with clean, dry hair without heavy products. Bring photos of colors you like and be ready to share your hair history. Also, plan enough time for your appointment.

It’s best to wash your hair a day or two before your appointment. Natural oils protect your scalp and help the color stick better but avoid coming into your appointment with heavy styling products or greasy hair. Think of it this way — you would never paint a picture on a dirty canvas.

Most color services take one to four hours depending on what you want and your hair’s condition. Big changes or fixing color can take a full day or several visits.

Bringing photos helps your stylist see your ideas, but remember some pictures are edited with filters and AI. You may need more than one visit to achieve your vision. Trust your stylist to create a look and timeline that’s perfect and will keep the integrity of your hair health.

Your stylist looks at your natural hair color, skin tone, and hair condition, then mixes a plant-based color formula just for you, ensuring your color looks beautiful and keeps your hair healthy.
