Our Maintenance Services and Options
$$MultiPurposeText$$
Available only to returning clients to refresh color between full appointments.
T-zone Color Retouch
T-zone Color Retouch
This is a targeted root touch-up for clients with one inch or less of new growth around the front of the hairline and down your part line, coloring only the front hairline and part line. Think a "T" shaped subsection of hair. Ideal for grey coverage clients who want to keep visible roots covered between full root retouch appointments. This is suggested maintenance every 2-4 weeks. This does not cover the roots throughout your entire head. This is not including bleaching or fashion color services.
Face Frame Highlights
Face Frame Highlights
This refreshes the highlights around your front hairline to brighten your "money piece". This is ideal for lived-in blonding clients who love a pop around the face and are comfortable with a rooted look throughout the rest of their hair. For traditional highlight clients, your stylist may recommend adding a root shadow or color melt to blend the remaining regrowth. The suggested maintenance is around 6-8 weeks. Check with your stylist before booking to confirm this is the right refresh for your look.
Mini Partial Foil
Mini Partial Foil
This refreshes the highlights around the front hairline, with three foils on each side of your part line to break up visible regrowth. Keeps brightness around your face and part while leaving a more rooted, dimensional look throughout the interior and back. This is ideal for maintaining traditional partial highlights, high-maintenance elevated blonding, or lived-in blonding between larger appointments. The suggested maintenance is around 6-8 weeks. Check with your stylist before booking to confirm this is the right refresh for your look.
Gloss/Toner (Stand-Alone Service)
Gloss/Toner (Stand-Alone Service)
This refreshes the tone and shine of your existing color without lightening your hair. This is ideal for maintaining highlights, balayage, lived-in blonding, softening unwanted tones, or restoring richness to faded color. The suggested maintenance is around 6-8 weeks, or as recommended by your stylist.

Answers to common questions about Maintenance services, eligibility, and what to expect.
Maintenance services are reserved for returning LABoratory clients who have previously received color services here. First-time clients must book a full color consultation and service. If you're unsure, contact us with your previous appointment details and an image for eligibility confirmation.
Yes. Maintenance touch-ups are ideal between full appointments to refresh roots, brighten face frames, or adjust tone. Frequency depends on your growth rate and formula; our stylists will recommend timing during your visit or consultation to keep your color vibrant longer.
Yes — all Maintenance services include a professional blowout finish at no extra charge. You’ll leave styled and ready-to-go, with any root retouch, partial foil, or glossing treatment completed and hair smoothed for optimal tone and shine.
Most Maintenance services take between 30 and 75 minutes depending on service type: T-zone retouches and glosses are quicker, while mini partial foils or face frame highlights may take longer. Your stylist will provide an estimated time when booking.
Yes — many clients combine Maintenance services when needed. Combining a gloss with a face-frame refresh or adding a mini partial foil can maximize results in a single appointment. Pricing and timing will be confirmed by your stylist at booking or during consultation.
Expect improved shine, corrected or refreshed tone, and a smoother finish. Glosses and toners can last several weeks depending on hair porosity and care. Use color-safe products and avoid excessive heat to prolong results; our stylists will recommend at-home maintenance tips.
