Color, blonding and the corrections in between.

Color is where the difference between a good salon and a great one shows up fastest. Anyone can put lightener on hair. Knowing how much your hair can take, in what order, over how many sessions — that’s the craft.

Several of our stylists are dedicated blonde and correction specialists. If you walk in with a photograph, you will get an honest answer about whether it happens today, in three months, or not at all with the hair you have.

Going blonde — what to actually expect

If your hair has never been colored, a clean blonde is often achievable in one long appointment. If it has box dye, old black, henna or years of build-up, it will take more than one session, and anyone who promises otherwise is either guessing or willing to damage your hair to hit the target.

A typical blonding journey looks like this:

1. Consultation and strand test. We establish what’s in your hair and how it behaves under lightener.
2. Session one. Lift as far as your hair safely allows, then tone.
3. Six to ten weeks later. Lift again from the new baseline, tone again.
4. Maintenance. Root work and toning on a schedule that suits your grow-out, not ours.

Balayage and lived-in color

Hand-painted balayage and lived-in blonde are built to grow out beautifully. Instead of a hard regrowth line at six weeks, you get a soft, sun-lifted transition that can go three to five months between appointments. It costs more per visit and less per year — and it’s the single most requested service in the salon.

Grey blending and transitioning

Not everyone wants full coverage. Grey blending weaves lighter pieces through the grey so it reads as dimension rather than regrowth, and grey transitioning walks you off a color schedule entirely over a series of appointments — without a stark line and without shaving it all off.

Color correction

Box dye gone brassy, a bleach job that banded, a black that won’t budge, a “free” fashion color from a friend. Correction is its own discipline: it is priced by the hour, it can take multiple visits, and it always begins with a consultation and a strand test. Bring photographs of what happened as well as what you want.

The menu

Durations are honest starting points. Pricing is set by your stylist and quoted at consultation.

Aftercare

Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo, keep water cooler than feels nice, and use a purple or blue toning shampoo once a week — not more, or you’ll go dull.
