FAQ

Should I book a Partial or Full Custom Brunette service?

A Full Custom Brunette service involves adding dimension or balayage throughout your entire head, perfect for a complete transformation. A Partial focuses solely on the top layer, crown, and face-framing pieces to add a subtle pop of brightness or maintain an existing look.

Will lightening my dark hair cause damage?

Lifting dark hair requires expertise. The integrity of your hair is our absolute top priority. Our specialists use premium, controlled lighteners paired with advanced bond-building treatments to safely lift your hair to beautiful caramel, bronde, or ash tones without compromising its health.

Why does dark hair turn brassy, and how do you fix it?

Dark hair naturally exposes red and orange undertones when lightened. To prevent this, a custom toning gloss is included in all of our dimensional brunette services. This gloss neutralizes unwanted brassy warmth, locks in your desired rich chocolate or cool ash tone, and seals the cuticle for immense, glass-like shine.

How often do I need to come in for brunette maintenance?

 It depends on the technique! Lived-in brunette balayage is incredibly low-maintenance, often only requiring major touch-ups 1 to 2 times a year. However, to keep brassiness away and shine high, we highly recommend coming in for a quick 45-minute Gloss & Blowout every 6 to 8 weeks.

How long does a custom brunette appointment take?

Flawless dimension takes time! Depending on your starting canvas, hair density, and ultimate goals, expect to relax with us for 2.5 to 4+ hours. We offer complimentary beverages, Wi-Fi, and a luxurious environment so you can unwind while your color processes.

How does your pricing structure work?

We believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Because custom blonding requires varying amounts of product based on your hair's length, density, and starting level, your stylist will provide a firm, accurate price quote during your consultation before any lightener is mixed. No surprises at checkout.

Do I need to book a consultation first?

If you have previous box dye, banding, or are looking for a major transformation (like color correction), we highly recommend booking a complimentary consultation first so we can map out a safe journey for your hair. For standard dimension and maintenance, you can book directly online!

Is styling included with my color service?

To ensure we have enough time to perfect your look, color services not followed by a haircut must be paired with a styling service. Please make sure to add an "After Color Styling" (Blowout) when booking online so you leave the salon looking flawless!

Where are you located and is there parking?

We are located at Raleigh Iron Works (1101 E Whitaker Mill Rd, Suite 170, Raleigh, NC 27604). There is ample free parking available right in the plaza.
