How often should I get my haircut?

Every 3-4 months for long hair maintenance. Hair grows about 1/2in per month. Keep hair healthy and split ends from traveling higher with regular trims

Shorter cuts and bobs may need more frequent trims to maintain shape and style

I just got my hair colored/lightened. When do I come back for a touch up?

(+\- may vary depending on hair integrity, porosity, and your care at home)

4-6 weeks toner refresh

2-3 months brighter blondes

3-4 months dimensional blonde clients

4-5 months dimensional brunettes

4-6 weeks root touch ups/grey blending

How often should I do in-salon treatments?

Treatments are alway included in lightening or chemical services to protect the integrity of the hair. In- salon treatments are recommended based on customer needs. Make sure to ask which one is right for you

How do I care for my hair at home?

Quality products. Be consistent with your routine. Less is more!

Everyone’s hair is different, what works for a friend my not work for you. Be open to experimenting to find routine and products that work for you. Quality products are key - you can find my recommendations under “shop”.

I always recommend sulfate free products, a hydrating hair mask once a week and a trusted leave in conditioner/heat protectant.

Top favs: k18 leave in, N4 restructuring masque
