Frequently Asked
When does single process beat highlights?
When you want one consistent color (full coverage, going darker, gray coverage), single process is faster, gentler, and cheaper than highlights.
How long does single process last?
Roots show in 4 to 6 weeks for most guests. Gloss can extend the cycle if you are not ready for a full root retouch.
Can I go darker in one session?
Yes. Going from light to dark is the fastest color change and usually a single appointment.
Will single process cover gray?
Yes. Full-head application can cover up to 100 percent gray. Roots-only application covers regrowth between full visits.
Is it gentler than highlights?
Yes — no lift involved unless we go several levels lighter. Single process is one of the safest color services for healthy hair.
Can I add highlights to a single process?
Yes. Many guests do single process + a few face-framing highlights for dimension without committing to a full highlight service.
