What to Expect
We review your desired color and all previous color or chemical services, including home products. Your stylist checks the condition and existing color, explains the proposed lightening and toning plan, and discusses any limitations. The service proceeds in the agreed stages, followed by finishing and home-care advice. Some goals require staged appointments instead of completing every change in one visit.
Who It's For
Double Process Color may suit clients seeking a color change that requires lightening before achieving the final shade. Double Process Root Touch-Up is designed to maintain an existing double process color as new growth appears. Both services include toner to refine the final color. Hair condition, previous chemical treatments, and desired results help determine which approach is appropriate.
Professional Advice
Dark starting hair and previous artificial color can affect the number of stages needed and the achievable shade. Share your full history even if the old color is no longer obvious. Previously lightened or fragile areas need particular care; we may recommend a slower plan or a different result. Toner helps refine the shade after lightening, but additional lightening or corrective work may be necessary to achieve certain results. Avoid booking a routine roots appointment for a major correction without contacting the salon first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes double process different from single process? Double process includes lightening followed by toner or color. Single process uses one color process.
Is toner included in Double Process Color? Yes. Both Double Process Root Touch-Up and Double Process Color include toner to refine the final shade after lightening. Toner does not need to be booked separately for these services.
Can dark or Asian hair become very light in one visit? That cannot be promised. Starting shade, previous color, condition, and desired tone affect the plan and the possible number of visits.
Should I book roots or full double process? A root touch-up focuses on new growth. If the lengths need reworking or you want a new color plan, discuss it with the salon first.
