Get answers to common questions about Color Balance.

Appointments typically last 60 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and processing needs. Time includes consultation, application, processing, and a professional finish to ensure balanced results.

Color Balance can address regrowth and many gray areas, but coverage depends on gray percentage and hair history. Your stylist will recommend permanent or demi-permanent formulas for best gray blending.

Most clients return every 4 to 8 weeks depending on growth rate and desired look. Your stylist will suggest a timing plan to keep roots, tone, and ends harmonious.

Color Balance evens overall tone but won’t dramatically alter strong highlights or lowlights. For significant changes, additional services like glossing, toning, or re-lightening may be recommended.

A strand test is recommended for new clients, unknown chemical histories, or drastic color changes. It ensures predictable results, checks processing time, and guards against unexpected reactions.

Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo, wash with cool water, apply a nourishing conditioner, limit heat styling, and use UV protection. Occasional at-home glosses and professional products extend vibrancy.
