Most clients return every 4–6 weeks for root maintenance, depending on hair growth and color contrast. Your stylist will recommend a personalized schedule based on hair texture, desired maintenance level, and any lightening or toning required.

When performed by trained technicians using quality formulas and bond-repair products, retouches can be low-damage. We assess hair condition, adjust processing, and recommend Olaplex or conditioning treatments to protect integrity while achieving seamless, healthy-looking color results.

Appointments usually run 60–90 minutes, depending on hair length, root extent, and any glossing or toning. Allow extra time for consultation and styling — your stylist will confirm exact timing when booking to fit your schedule.

Minor tone adjustments and low-lift changes are possible during a retouch, but major color shifts, lightening, or fashion shades often require additional services. Your stylist will advise the best plan to achieve your shade while protecting hair health.

Arrive with clean, dry hair if possible and avoid heavy products. Bring photos of desired color, list recent chemical services, and disclose hair concerns. This helps your stylist match tones precisely and choose the safest, most effective retouch approach.

Use sulfate-free shampoo, cool water, and color-safe conditioners to preserve tone. Limit heat styling, use UV protection and weekly gloss or mask treatments. Our stylists can recommend home-care products to extend vibrancy and reduce the frequency of touch-ups.
