Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Color.

Most Full Color appointments take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on hair length, thickness, and previous color. Consultations, application, processing, and a finish blowout are included. Your stylist will give an estimated time when booking based on your needs.

Full Color generally covers gray hair, but coverage depends on gray percentage, hair porosity, and your chosen shade. Our stylists assess each case and select formulas and processing times to ensure even results. Multiple sessions or a root touch-up schedule may be recommended for complete coverage.

We recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours before shampooing to allow pigments to fully set. When you do wash, use a sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and cool water to preserve vibrancy. Your stylist will recommend products and a care routine for lasting color.

Lightening hair often requires lifting beyond a standard Full Color application and may need bleach or multiple sessions to protect integrity. During consultation, we’ll evaluate your current color and condition, then create a staged plan to reach lighter tones safely without compromising hair health.

Maintenance varies, but most clients return every 4–8 weeks for root touch-ups and color refreshes. Frequency depends on growth rate, chosen shade, and exposure to sun or washing. Follow recommended aftercare and at-home products to extend vibrancy between salon visits.

Yes, we recommend or require a patch test at least 48 hours before your first Full Color service if you’re new or have allergy concerns. It helps ensure product safety and prevents reactions. Our team will schedule and guide you through this simple precaution.
