Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Special Effects.
Longevity depends on pigment type, placement, and aftercare. Vivid shades often fade faster—expect about four to eight weeks for bright pops, while blended highlights can maintain tone eight to twelve weeks. Your stylist will recommend touch-up timing and maintenance at consultation.
Often yes—pre-lightening is required for vivid or pastel shades to achieve true color. During consultation we assess hair health and discuss lift options, bond treatments, and timing to minimize damage while achieving your desired effect.
Pricing varies based on complexity, color products, and time; we provide a custom quote after consultation. Expect a range influenced by pre-lightening, multiple colors, and length. Your stylist will outline options, maintenance costs, and a transparent price estimate during your consultation.
Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and cool water to preserve pigment. Limit washing, use UV protection and deep-conditioning treatments weekly. Avoid harsh styling heat or use heat protectant. We'll provide a personalized at-home routine based on your chosen colors and lifestyle.
Yes—Special Effects adapts to most lengths and textures. On short or fine hair we recommend subtle placement and minimal saturation to avoid overpowering or weighing hair down. Consultation will determine technique and maintenance suited to your hair type.
Appointment length depends on desired effect, color layering, and pre-lightening needs. Simple pops may take sixty to ninety minutes; complex multi-color looks or lifts can require three hours or more. We’ll give an accurate time estimate during your consultation and booking.
