ABOUT SCHEDULING HAIR COLOR SERVICES

Did you know....HAIR COLOR Appointment Times Greatly Vary?

They vary greatly by the amount of time required... the amount of products used, and therefore the price.

Under normal circumstances, standard times will be booked per the service described during scheduling….it helps so much if we know in advance that more time will be required, as this knowledge can avoid last minute scheduling conflicts, and disappointments for everyone. Especially with corrective colors, as surprises can happen, (due to layers of color, etc can take multiple applications of lift). 


VIRGIN? TOUCHUP? OR CHANGE?

Is your hair Virgin (never processed) or is it a root touchup? 

What is your...
DENSITY , LENGTH & TEXTURE?
Is your hair highly textured, super thick (dense)? How long is your hair? 


CHANGE? 
Ask if your stylist would prefer a pre-appointment consultation with you... you can schedule to come into the salon if you have time... or you can ask for a phone consult.. over text... by sending photos of your current hair (in good light.. outdoors is best) and sending your favorite inspiration photos.

SINGLE Process?
OR
MULTI-PROCESS COLOR OR HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS?
Highlight? Lowlight? Heavy? Medium or Light?

Or BLEACH? WHOLE HEAD OR TOUCHUP?
Bleach takes longer than hair color... it's more akin to the time highlights take. A 2nd application may be necessary for even results. Toners or glazes are commonly used. (read : prescribed home treatments)

WHAT FADES COLOR?
Sulphates in shampoos (conditioners don't contain sulphates... but check the label of volumizing conditioners.. ou never know!!) How often you shampoo makes a difference. 
The UV rays of a Sunshine or Tanning Beds.
High, direct heat from styling tools. (use heat protectants to protect color and hair integrity) from worst to least.
-- Curling irons (10- 20 sec)
​-- Flat irons (few seconds , repeat passes)
-- Blow Dryers (they do get as hot as flat irons..but direct contact is reduced)


HAIR COLOR CORRECTIONS: 
Are you making a change from a previous artificial color? If so, are you wanting to go lighter, or darker?
Are you wanting to change your hair from a super dark color a vivid color or a red shade?  This is more complicated. Based on your hair length, your stylist will ask your hair chemical history. Please let us know now.. it will save time and money.

ROME WASN’T BUILT IN A DAY
Some stylists prefer to book a full day with one only one client who requires a color correction. This is due to the unknowns, because if the time we'd scheduled isn't long enough, and our next client is arriving, we will have to wrap up where we are in your service, and set up another appointment for a later date or time. 

SERIES OF APPOINTMENTS
Depending on the correction measures required… it’s not uncommon for your stylist to book a series of appointments with you to work towards your desired goal.

PRESCRIBED HOME TREATMENTS BETWEEN SERVICES
Depending on your hair health, there may be weeks booked inbetween so that your hair can be prepared with bond builders, moisturizers and protein as prescribed prior to your next chemical service.





FUN FACT... going darker or changing color tones is much more straight forward...

UNLESS you have extremely damaged or porous hair.... Why can porous hair be a problem? It can absorb too much color pigment.. if too much it will become drab or discolored. We have safer products to remove the excess pigment/tone.. but if it's kinda subtle enough that you can live with it.. letting it wash out naturally over the few shampoos is far more healthy for your already compromised hair and bigger bang for your pocket book.

 
ANOTHER FUN FACT.... Toning hair or glazing hair... going slightly darker... even a just half shade .. WHY WILL IT give you more bang for your buck? After a few shampoos the remaining toner usually lasts much longer than having toned it the exact shade. Although we prefer the exact shade we want to see before you leave....and that's what we usually go for.. we also know that you'll get longer lasting results by going a tad bid darker when toning or glazing.
