Appointments typically last 60–90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and required processing time. The session includes application, neutralizing, conditioning, and a professional mold-and-style finish so you leave with refreshed roots and a polished hairstyle.

When performed correctly by our stylists, touch ups minimize overlap and reduce breakage risk. We assess your hair condition, apply protective treatments, and avoid overlapping previously relaxed lengths to preserve integrity while smoothing new growth.

Most clients return every 8–12 weeks depending on natural growth rate and hair strength. We recommend personalized scheduling after a consultation since texture, styling habits, and hair health influence ideal touch up timing to prevent over-processing.

Coloring and chemical services require careful sequencing. Typically we recommend coloring two weeks before or after a relaxer to reduce stress on the hair. Schedule a consultation so we can plan safe timing and compatible products for your desired results.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, deep-condition weekly, avoid heat for several days, and apply recommended leave-in treatments to maintain moisture and reduce breakage. Our stylists will provide a custom at-home routine and product recommendations tailored to your hair type.

If your hair has previous chemical treatments, significant damage, or color history, we often perform a strand test to determine processing strength and timing. This ensures safe results and helps us tailor product choice to protect hair integrity during the touch up.
