FAQ: Blonde Hair

What should I do before my appointment ?

Firstly we highly recommend treating your hair with K18 to ensure the best hair health possible. It’s best not to wash your hair 2-3 days before your appointment to protect your scalp a little, and on the day your hair should also be dry and preferably free of knots. 

Also, bring photos! A picture is worth a thousand words, and visual references help us communicate clearly. 

We offer complimentary 15 minute consultation appointments, so if you have questions about what type of appointment you need, please come & see us in person so we can have a chat, make a plan and provide you with a price quote.

Please advise us if you think your hair will take longer than the allotted time:

If you have tangled, thick hair; extra long hair; or If you know your hair lifts faster or slower please let us know.

Please advise us if you think your hair will take longer than the allotted time. If you have a history of excessive knots and tangles, thick hair or extra-long hair. If you know your hair lifts faster or slower than normal please let us know.

What should I do between appointments ?

In between appointments you should to use bond-building products to give you the best chance of lightness and hair health as healthy hair is much easier to lighten or 'lift'. And, it's important to understand that lighteners will affect your hair texture and you might need assistance adjusting to a new hair texture. Your stylist can help you with this. 

We also recommend continuing to use these products after the lightening service to assist with hair health.

We understand this is a lot to take in, if you are concerned, have more questions or would like the test strand service, please book a complimentary consultation where your stylist can answer any questions specific to your hair. 

How often will I need to come back for my regrowth ?

Depending on your hair service, maintenance appointments will vary. The optimal regrowth for the scalp lighter is one knuckle or about 1cm. This frequency will avoid banding or ladders in your hair colour. 

For a foil service:
we recommend six to twelve weeks.
For Balayage:
we recommend three times a year.
For Scalp lightener:
we recommend five to seven weeks
