How long will this look take?
The majority of this client’s three-hour appointment was focused on the cut, blow-dry and style, while the actual color refresh took around 45 minutes.
Pro tip: Bright reds don’t alway have to double process. A good, vibrant red exists at a Level 6. Refreshing with a semi will help keep reds bright without browning out.
