Most Ombre services take between 2 to 4 hours depending on starting color, hair length, density, and desired contrast. A consultation helps estimate time; multi-step lightening or toner adjustments may extend appointment length for optimal, healthy results.

Ombre can work on darker hair but achieving lighter ends typically requires some lightening. We use gentle lifting techniques and bond-building treatments to protect hair. During a consultation we'll assess feasibility and recommend the safest approach for your desired brightness.

Use sulfate-free color-safe shampoo, cool water rinses, and a nourishing mask weekly. Apply UV protectant sprays and minimize heat styling. Schedule gloss or toner refreshes every 8–12 weeks to keep the gradient vibrant and prevent brassiness.
