Prep

Before your appointment

  • Come in with your hair in its natural, unwashed state, a little natural oil helps protect your scalp during color
  • Skip heavy styling products the day of your appointment
  • Bring a photo if you have a shade in mind; a real reference helps your artist match your vision
  • Let us know about any color, chemical services, or treatments on your hair in the last several months
Aftercare

Keeping the result

  • Wait at least 48 hours before shampooing to let the color fully set
  • Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner made for color-treated hair
  • Rinse with cool water when you can, heat opens the cuticle and lets color escape faster
  • Book your next appointment before you leave so your color stays consistent between visits

Book Single Process Color

Single process color is the straightforward answer when your roots are showing or you're ready to shift to a different shade altogether. At Olivia Lane Salon, the appointment is booked at 105 minutes, enough time for a real consultation, a custom-mixed formula, and a thorough application without feeling rushed. Your stylist works the root area for a refresh, or focuses on regrowth alone if the rest of your color is still going strong.

A couple of days between your last shampoo and your appointment is ideal. Natural oils give your scalp a little buffer during processing. After your color is done, hold off on washing for 48 hours and reach for a color-safe shampoo to keep the shade from lifting early. Down here on the Gulf Coast, the sun and humidity are relentless, so a UV-protective leave-in really does pull its weight between visits.
