Typical sessions range from two to four hours depending on hair length, density, and desired brightness. Pricing is $100 per hour, so total cost depends on time. Consultations help us estimate duration and any needed treatments before booking.

Babylights and shadow roots work on most natural colors. Your stylist will assess base tone and porosity, then customize placement and lift. Darker hair may need gradual lightening across sessions to preserve health and achieve the perfect sun-kissed result.

Because shadow roots blur regrowth, many clients schedule touch-ups every three to four months. Fine babylights may fade sooner; a gloss or toner service every six to eight weeks refreshes tone without full lightening. We tailor timing individually.

We evaluate hair condition in consultation; if hair is compromised, we recommend strengthening treatments and a conservative approach. Multiple lightening sessions, bond-building products, and professional aftercare protect integrity while still achieving dimensional color when safely possible.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, color-safe conditioners, and cold rinses to extend vibrancy. Limit heat styling, apply weekly masks, and use UV protection sprays. Schedule regular glossing appointments and follow stylist product recommendations to maintain tone and hair health.
