Vivid semi-permanent color typically fades over 4 to 8 weeks, depending on hair porosity, washing frequency, and aftercare. Using sulfate-free shampoos, cool water, and color-depositing conditioners extends vibrancy. Touch-ups are recommended to refresh tone and saturation.

Yes — we recommend a consultation to evaluate current color, hair health, and lift required. This lets us create a realistic plan, estimate time and cost, and determine whether a blonding session or multiple appointments are needed for your desired vivid result.

Lightening always carries some risk, but we minimize damage using professional products, bond-building treatments, and careful timing. Pre- and post-treatment conditioning and realistic lift expectations reduce breakage. We’ll discuss options during your consultation to protect your hair's health.

Wash less frequently with cool water, use sulfate-free shampoos and color-depositing conditioners, and avoid excess heat styling. Use UV protection and deep-conditioning masks weekly. Follow your customized aftercare plan and schedule regular touch-ups to maintain saturation and vibrancy.

Allergic reactions are rare but possible. We require or recommend a patch test at least 48 hours before service for new clients or when changing products. Share allergies or sensitivities during booking so we can choose the safest formulas for you.
