Expect 90-180 minutes depending on hair darkness, thickness, and previous color. The third lightener application and careful toning require patience for safe, even lifting. Your stylist will assess and provide a precise timeframe during consultation.

Any extra lightening increases stress, but we minimize risk with bond-repair treatments, careful timing, and customized formulations. Consultation and strand tests guide safe application; proper aftercare maintains integrity and reduces long-term damage.

Arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy styling products. Bring photos of your desired platinum tone. If you have prior color, note timing of last chemical services. A consultation and strand test may be required before full application.

Icy platinum requires regular maintenance; expect tone fading and regrowth within 4-8 weeks. Purple shampoos, color-safe products, and scheduled toning appointments preserve the cool shade. We'll recommend a maintenance plan tailored to your hair and lifestyle.

Results depend on starting level, hair condition, and previous chemical history. Darker or previously colored hair may need the quadruple process; severely damaged hair might require rebuilding treatments first. A consultation and strand test determine feasibility and personalized approach.

Price varies based on hair length, density, previous color work, and required processing time. Ultra Platinum is an up-charge reflecting the extra lightener and toning steps; contact our salon for an accurate quote during consultation or when booking.
