All color services include a consultation, haircut or conditioning treatment, blowout, and style. All pricing is up-front and all-inclusive.
Most clients go 8–14 weeks between appointments, sometimes longer depending on how soft they like their grow-out. Because color is blended intentionally, there's no harsh regrowth line — just a gradual, natural transition.
This approach focuses on blending rather than full coverage. Grey is softened and diffused so it's less noticeable, but not completely eliminated — which is what allows for a more natural, low-maintenance grow-out.
It depends on your starting point and hair history. Some lightening can happen in one visit, but the goal is always healthy hair and natural-looking results — which sometimes means building it over time.
All color can shift over time, but proper placement, toning, and at-home care make a big difference. Toning or glossing appointments help between lightening services.
That's exactly what the consultation form is for. Kelly will review your goals and guide you to the right service before you book.
Yes — shags, shullets, pixies, bixies, bobs, and layers. Razor cutting creates softness, movement, and texture so hair feels effortless, not overworked.
Completely normal. The in-chair consultation helps Kelly figure it out based on your hair, lifestyle, and what makes you feel good. Inspiration photos (and photos of styles you don't like) are very helpful.
Busy, low-maintenance women who want lived-in color that grows out beautifully — clients who want to blend grey, add natural dimension, and extend time between appointments without sacrificing how their hair looks. Not a fit for clients wanting full grey coverage, dramatic single-session transformations, or solid all-over color.
