Everything You Need to Know About Add-Ons
Answers to common questions about treatments, waxing, tinting, and quick salon upgrades.
Our Add-Ons include conditioning treatments (Malibu, Olaplex, Antidot), chelating and glosses, eyebrow tinting, goddess glitter, and precise waxing for lips, chin, and brows. These extras enhance results, protect color, and tailor your finished look for any occasion.
Conditioning Add-Ons can improve hair feel immediately; effects last from one to several weeks depending on hair type, product used, and home care. Olaplex and Malibu treatments offer longer structural benefits, while glosses may fade with subsequent washes.
Chelating removes mineral buildup from hard water and chlorine, which can restore true color and reduce brassiness. It won't lighten your professional color significantly but may make tones appear truer; always consult your stylist before combining with color services.
Yes — eyebrow tinting is commonly paired with other Add-Ons like conditioning or waxing. Your stylist will assess skin sensitivity and timing to ensure compatibility. We perform patch tests if needed and space chemical services appropriately for safety and best results.
For waxing, arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid heavy moisturizers, retinol, or exfoliation 48 hours prior. Let hair be about ¼ inch for best removal. Inform us of recent tanning or medications that affect skin sensitivity.
Absolutely — Goddess Glitter is a quick, festive Add-On applied over styled hair for events. It can be added during appointments; communicate desired placement and duration. Glitter typically lasts through the event but may shed with vigorous movement.
