Appointments typically take 2 to 4 hours depending on hair length, starting color, and number of shades blended. A consultation and possible pre-lightening may extend time. Our stylists give an estimated duration when booking to plan accordingly.

Yes — Color Melting adapts to most natural colors and textures. Our team evaluates your hair’s porosity, base shade, and condition to determine the best techniques and products, ensuring a tailored, healthy result whether straight, wavy, or curly hair.

Longevity varies by hair growth and care, usually 8–12 weeks for visible refreshes. Because the technique blends shades, it grows out subtly; many clients extend intervals with glosses, toners, and color-safe products recommended by your stylist.

Color Melting focuses on seamless blending between multiple shades for a gradient effect, avoiding harsh lines. Balayage paints highlights for sun-kissed dimension; ombré creates a distinct root-to-tip transition. Melting prioritizes soft, multidimensional cohesion across tones.

We prioritize hair health by using AVEDA-friendly products, tailored processing, and professional techniques. Lightening can cause stress, but pre-treatment, bond-repair services, and customized aftercare minimize damage. Your stylist will assess condition and recommend safe options for your desired look.

Use color-safe AVEDA shampoos, sulfate-free formulas, and hydrating masks. Limit hot tools, wash less frequently, and use UV protectant sprays. Schedule gloss or toner refreshes and follow stylist-created routines to maintain vibrancy, blend, and hair health between salon visits.
