Most clients enjoy subtle blending for four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and maintenance. Using sulfate-free products and gentle washing extends results. We typically suggest follow-up appointments every six to eight weeks to keep the blend seamless.

No — Base Bump uses low-lift color techniques and targeted application to avoid over-processing. When performed by our stylists, it minimizes chemical stress; we also use bond-supporting treatments and tailor formulas to hair health to protect integrity while achieving the desired lift.

Base Bump focuses on lifting the base and softening root contrast rather than applying light pieces throughout. It's subtler, faster, and designed to blend with existing color and highlights for natural dimension without the dramatic brightness of full highlights or balayage.

Appointments usually run forty-five to seventy-five minutes depending on hair length, density, and whether we refresh existing highlights. Consultations and bond-building treatments may add time; our team works efficiently to deliver quality results while respecting your schedule.

Yes — Base Bump can neutralize minor brassiness and even out root tones by applying a gentle lift with toning to match surrounding color. Severe brass or heavy previous dye may require additional toning or corrective work, which we assess during consultation.

Use sulfate-free color-safe shampoo and conditioner, and avoid excessive heat styling for the first 48 to 72 hours. Minimize washing, protect from sun and chlorine, and follow product recommendations we provide to preserve tone and longevity.
