Frequently asked questions
Another question? Message meWhen can I wash my hair after color?
Wait 48 hours before your first wash so the color can settle. After that, use a sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water.
How do I care for a smoothing treatment?
The first few days matter most. I’ll tell you how long to wait before your first wash depending on the product we use, and I recommend a sulfate-free shampoo so the result lasts.
Can I live normally with extensions?
Yes. You can wash, dry and style them. Just keep conditioner and oils away from the tapes and brush from the ends up while holding the root.
How often should I come back?
For color, balayage and extensions, maintenance usually falls every 6 to 8 weeks. We plan your next visit before you leave.
How should I arrive?
With dry hair and no styling products. If you usually wear sunglasses or accessories in your hair, leave them at home that day.
