Yes. A consultation is required to assess hair history, porosity, desired colors, and necessary lightening. This lets us create a customized plan, estimate time and cost, and recommend treatments. Bring inspiration photos and be ready to discuss maintenance expectations.

Appointments typically range from two to six hours depending on starting color, amount of lightening, and complexity of the design. Multi-color rainbows or detailed placements take longer. Your consultation determines the exact timing and whether multiple sessions are recommended for healthy results.

Many vivid shades require lightening to achieve true color, which can cause stress if done improperly. We prioritize gentle lift, bond-repair treatments, and gradual sessions when needed. Your consultation will evaluate hair condition and recommend safest options to minimize damage while delivering vivid results.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and cool water washes to preserve pigments. Limit heat styling, apply UV protection and weekly color-depositing masks, and sleep on silk or satin. Follow your stylist’s recommended touch-up schedule to keep colors vibrant and prevent uneven fading.

Absolutely. We offer a full spectrum from delicate iridescent sheens and pastel glazes to saturated rainbows. Your stylist will mix pigments and placement techniques to achieve subtle depth or shimmering tonal shifts that look natural or fantastical depending on your preference.

Vivid colors can work on most hair types, though darker natural hair often requires lightening for bright results. Fine, porous, or previously damaged hair may need restorative steps. Consultation determines feasibility, custom formula, and whether staged sessions are safest for your hair type and goals.
