Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Double Process Retouch- (Bleach and Tone).

This service is designed for 3/4 inch or less of regrowth. If you have more than 3/4 inch or are changing from a darker color, please schedule a consultation to determine the safest plan and timing.

Appointments generally run 90 to 150 minutes depending on hair thickness, texture, and the level of toning required. Your stylist will confirm expected timing when consulting or at check-in.

When performed as a targeted root retouch, damage is minimized. We use careful application, bond-building treatments, and professional products to protect previously lightened hair and maintain strength.

No — transitioning from a darker color usually requires multiple sessions and a full consultation. Book a consultation so we can assess hair history, porosity, and create a safe lifting plan.

Clients commonly return every 4 to 6 weeks to keep regrowth under 3/4 inch and preserve tonal consistency. Your stylist will recommend a cadence based on growth rate and desired maintenance.

Use purple or blue toning shampoo as directed, sulfate-free cleansers, regular deep conditioning or bond-builder treatments, and limit heat styling. Follow stylist product recommendations to extend color and hair health.
