Get answers to common questions about Fashion Color.

Fashion Color commonly requires a double process — expect two to four hours depending on hair length, starting color, and chosen effect. Your stylist will provide an estimated time during consultation and prioritize careful processing for healthy, vibrant results.

Our process emphasizes hair health: we assess hair condition, use gentle lighteners, apply bond-repair treatments, and customize processing times. Proper conditioning and professional aftercare minimize damage risk and maintain strength while delivering bold, lasting color.

Longevity depends on color type: vivid reds and neons fade faster than darker tones. With sulfate-free shampoos, cool water, UV protection, and touch-up appointments, most fashion shades remain vibrant four to twelve weeks before needing refresh.

Pastels and most neons require pre-lightening to a pale base. On dark hair, achieving these shades without lifting is usually impossible; however, we can recommend alternatives like overlays, demi-permanent tints, or creative placement that give similar effects.

Come with hair in its natural condition — not freshly washed — to protect your scalp. Avoid recent chemical treatments, bring inspiration photos, and expect a longer appointment; follow your stylist's pre-appointment guidelines for best results.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners, limit washes, rinse with cool water, and use heat protectant sprays. Schedule periodic glosses or toners, apply deep-conditioning masks weekly, and ask your stylist for salon-recommended products tailored to your shade.
