Lived-in color & highlights

Our approach

What "lived-in" color means

Lived-in color is blended, low-maintenance color: highlights, balayage and dimension placed so your regrowth looks intentional, not like a hard line. It's the kind of color you can live with between appointments.

On curly hair, color is placed with your curl pattern in mind so it shows up beautifully when your curls are dry and defined. Healthy hair comes first, always.

Please note: we specialize in natural, lived-in tones and don't offer vivid or fashion colors.

Color services

• Full highlights / balayage — customized foil placement with a treatment and gloss or toner. Best for first-time highlights or a big change.
• Partial highlights / foilyage — focused around the face and crown; ideal for retouches.
• Full color & root touch-ups — rich, natural-looking color.
• Gloss and shadow & gloss — refresh tone, add shine and soften grow-out between appointments; lasts about 4–6 weeks.
• Strand test — recommended before color or highlights to check your hair's integrity and how far it can lift.
• Color correction — fixing brassy, patchy or too-dark results. Start with a Hair Consultation or Strand Test, or call/text (818) 336-2388.

Before your color appointment

Come in with your hair clean, detangled and completely dry, with no oils, creams or styling products that day, so color deposits evenly. Styling isn't included — add a Curl Set or Blow Dry when you book.
