A full double Process appointment typically takes 2.5 to 5 hours depending on hair length, density, starting color, and desired lightness. Your stylist will provide a precise time estimate during consultation and plan accordingly to ensure safe, even results.

Yes for most hair types when performed by experienced colorists, but condition and previous chemical history matter. Your stylist will assess elasticity, porosity, and previous color to determine the safest approach or recommend pre-treatment to strengthen hair before lightening.

Come with clean, dry hair free of heavy styling products. Bring photos of desired results and be ready to discuss past color history. Arrive with realistic expectations—your stylist may recommend multiple sessions for dramatic lifts to preserve hair health.

Lightening can stress hair, but StudioM uses bond-building treatments, professional developers, and careful timing to minimize damage. Your stylist customizes processing and may suggest pre- or post-service treatments, trims, and an at-home regimen to maintain strength and prevent breakage.

Longevity varies by shade, porosity, and maintenance. Platinum or vivid colors may need toning every 4–8 weeks and color-refresh appointments every 6–12 weeks. Using color-safe shampoo, cool water, and heat protection will significantly extend vibrancy between salon visits.
