Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to feel confident before your first visit.
Do I need to book in advance?
We strongly recommend booking ahead, especially for color services and treatments. You can call us at 212-213-6050 or book online. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability.
How long does a color appointment take?
Timing varies by service. A single-process color typically takes 1–2 hours; balayage and foilayage can take 2–4 hours. We recommend allowing extra time for your first visit so we can consult properly.
Do you offer formaldehyde-free smoothing treatments?
Yes. We offer the Cezanne Treatment, a professional formaldehyde-free smoothing service, as well as Brazilian Blow Out and traditional Keratin Treatment.
What is AirTouch and is it right for me?
AirTouch is an advanced lightening technique that uses a stream of air to remove fine, short hairs before applying bleach — resulting in an ultra-soft, feathered blonde with a very natural grow-out. It is ideal for clients seeking a low-maintenance, damage-conscious blonde.
Can you fix a color I had done elsewhere?
Absolutely. Color correction is one of our specialties. We recommend booking a consultation first so our colorists can assess your hair and create a tailored plan.
What are your opening hours?
We are open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, and Sunday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM. We are open seven days a week for your convenience.
