I want to go blonde. how long will this take?

Blonding typically takes multiple 3-5 hour blonding sessions to achieve blond transformations. Factors that affect the number of sessions are any previous hair color, health of the hair, natural pigments in the hair, diameter of the hair strand, and your natural starting level. See session example below or what you may expect with previously uncolored hair.

I have color in my hair, will this affect my blonding?

Yes. Hair that is colored will lift more slowly, with more warmth & patchiness, and some previous colors cannot be completely removed from the hair shaft. Some of the colors that are the most difficult or impossible to remove are black dye, red dye, henna, and some vivid direct dyes.

I'm worried my hair will be brassy!

Hair lifts through three warm stages: Red, orange, and yellow. In fact, the lightest color we can possible lift your hair to is a very pale banana yellow. To then achieve cool or ashy tones, we gloss your hair with a translucent color containing blue or purple. The darker your hair is to start, the more warm stages we need to lift through. Placement and color gloss can help minimize warmth, but warmth will occur during the blonding process.

I want to go Silver or white blonde

To achieve silver or white blonde hair, we lift hair until it reaches a very light banana yellow blonde. We have to lift to this level very carefully and slowly, because lifting past this level will cause hair to disintegrate! For this type of blonding you will see us carefully stopping to check and remove foils as we work. This adds significant time to the process, but we believe the health of your hair is worth it. We then gloss your hair with a translucent color with blue and purple to create that silver or white blonde appearance. 

My hair is dry & damaged, will this affect my blonding?

Yes. We care about the health of your hair. Because blonding removes protein from the hair, damaged hair should not be lightened at all, or lightened very minimally.  We also recommend bonders and hair treatments to counteract any previous damage.

Blonde M aintenance

Blonde hair is more porous, delicate, and requires higher home maintenance. Here are recommendations to keep your hair looking bright and healthy
1. Monthly bonding treatments
2. Professional products, including shampoo, conditioner, mask, oil, & heat protectant
3. Shower filter to prevent metal damage & darkening
4. Reduce heat styling temperatures
5. Use a toning shampoo or schedule a gloss treatment every 6 weeks for platinum or silver hair

We can't wait to see you!

We are grateful for every person who walks through our door. We believe that everyone should have a part of their day where they can laugh, unwind, and feel a little lighter. Thank you for the privilege to pamper you and make you feel at home!
