I recommend waiting at least 48 hours after your color service before washing your hair. Washing too soon can cause the color to fade faster or not set as well. For the best results and long-lasting color, give your hair a couple of days before its first wash.

K-18 is a revolutionary hair treatment that helps repair damaged hair from the inside out. It strengthens and restores hair by reconnecting broken keratin chains, leaving it healthier, stronger, and more resilient. I include K-18 in every lightening service to ensure your hair stays in its best condition.

Low-maintenance or lived-in color is all about creating a natural, soft grow-out that blends seamlessly with your hair. I use fine sectioning when coloring to avoid harsh lines, which helps your hair grow out without a noticeable root. Techniques like balayage—where I hand-paint the lightener onto the hair—allow the color to be blended from the start, creating a gradual, more natural look. Lived-in color often has a more "rooted" appearance, leaving more dimension at the scalp. I also use methods like root smudging, which blurs the color near the roots, so as your hair grows, it stays soft and blended, avoiding harsh regrowth lines.
