Appointments typically last 2.5–4 hours depending on hair length, thickness, and desired lift. Time includes consultation, color application, processing, toner, and a precision haircut. We provide an exact estimate when you book so you can plan your visit.

Our priority is hair health. We use gentle formulas, professional lightening techniques, and bond-building treatments to minimize damage. If hair is compromised, we'll adjust placement or process and recommend strengthening services to achieve beautiful results safely.
