Why is a consultation required for color?

Color and texture interact, and color over stressed or previously colored hair can cause breakage. A consultation lets us assess your hair's health, set realistic results, and choose bond-friendly products that protect your curl pattern.

How much does a shampoo & style cost?

Pricing varies by length and density. We confirm your price before we begin so there are no surprises — see current pricing when you book.

Is color safe for natural and 4C hair?

Yes, when done with bond-friendly, curl-safe products and a tailored plan. We may recommend a treatment before or alongside color to protect your pattern.

Can you fix color or bleach damage?

Often yes. We assess the damage, set realistic expectations, and build a treatment, trim, and care plan to restore health as your hair grows out.

Will color change my curl pattern?

Healthy color shouldn't. Over-processing can loosen curls, which is why we use bond-friendly products and never color already-stressed hair without a plan.

How often should I get a color touch-up?

Usually every 4–8 weeks depending on the color and your growth. We set your touch-up schedule at your appointment.
