Frequently Asked Questions

The best color service depends on your current hair, your desired result, and how often you want to maintain it. During your consultation, your colorist will discuss your goals and recommend the right service, whether that’s single-process color, highlights, balayage, gray coverage, or corrective color.

Highlights create brightness from the roots using foils for more uniform coverage, while balayage is hand-painted for a softer, more natural-looking transition. Your stylist can explain which technique will achieve the look you’re after and what maintenance each requires.

Most root touch-up appointments are scheduled every four to six weeks, while balayage and highlights often last longer between visits. Your maintenance schedule will depend on your hair growth, color choice, and how much regrowth you’re comfortable with.

Yes. Scott J recommends a consultation before your color service, especially if you’re a new guest, making a significant color change, or booking corrective color. Completing the online consultation form ahead of your appointment also helps your colorist prepare for your visit and reserve the appropriate amount of time.
