Book an appointmentPersonalized consultation
We read your hair's condition, history and tone, then agree on the exact placement and depth before any color is mixed.
Freehand hand-painted lift
Highlights are painted by hand — no foils, no harsh lines — so the grow-out stays soft instead of banded.
Custom toner & gloss
Once the lift is perfect, a bespoke toner neutralizes brass and locks in the shade you asked for.
Bond-building treatment
A Kérastase strengthening treatment goes in at the basin to keep the lightened hair soft and elastic.
Blowout & styling
You leave with a finished blow dry and styling, so you can see exactly how the color moves.
