Maintenance Every 8–16 weeks
Beautiful, low-maintenance color that grows out effortlessly because great hair shouldn't require a standing monthly appointment.
Lived-in color is soft, seamless color that's designed to grow out beautifully instead of leaving harsh lines at your roots. Think balayage and highlights, techniques designed to be low maintenance so the color looks intentional for months, not just the day you leave the salon.
I specialize in this because I'm a low-maintenance girl myself. I love looking my best but I'm not about spending every few weeks in a salon chair when there's my to-do list is already overflowing.
Possibly, it depends on where your hair is at. I've worked with a lot of over-processed hair and we can often to move forward slowly and safely. Hair health always comes first, if we need to do some repair work before diving into color I'll always tell you that upfront.
Most of my clients come back every 8-16 weeks instead of the traditional 4-8, that's the beauty of lived-in color. It's designed to grow out beautifully so you're not stuck on a strict schedule. Using the right products at home helps stretch it even further.
Yes, and honestly it's perfect for lived-in color! We can blend them so they look like natural highlights, brighten them so they pop beautifully, or cover them in a way that grows out seemlessly. Every approach is different because every head of grey is different.
Almost always yes. Lived-in color works on straight, wavy, curly, fine, thick, short, and long hair. The technique just adapts to what you're working with. If you're unsure, fill out my new client form and we'll figure it out together before you commit to anything.
When you invest in color that's built to last, you actually spend less over time. You're not coming back every 4 weeks to fix brassiness or regrowth. One great service that grows out beautifully is worth more than three mediocre ones.
My top recommendations for lived-in color clients are the K18 shampoo and mask to keep your hair healthy between visits. If you're blonde, a purple shampoo is a must to keep brassiness away. We'll go over exactly what works best for your hair at your appointment.
