What is the time and maintenance investment for this look?

Mario’s client had thick hair which led to a five-hour blonding transformation. Since this look is low-maintenance, Mario would suggest the client visit in six to eight weeks for a toner touch-up. “We’d go for the full service again in five to six months, depending on the hair growth, with touch-ups as needed in between,” he explains.
