Every color service includes the gloss or treatment needed to finish it properly — that's not an add-on, it's part of getting the result you're paying for. The price you see for Color- Maintenance or Color- Dimension already accounts for it, so there's no surprise step added at checkout.

Sulfate-free shampoo and cooler water are the two biggest factors — heat and harsh detergents are what pull color out fastest. A weekly conditioning treatment helps maintain vibrancy too, and we'll talk through the right at-home routine for your specific color at your appointment.

Mainly that you're in a good place — fine hair is where I spend most of my time and attention. The cut and color approach for fine hair is different from what works on thicker hair, so you don't need to over-explain your concerns at booking. That's already factored into how I work.

Fine hair has less density per strand, so the same cut or color technique can read heavy, flat, or uneven depending on how it's applied. Cutting has to account for how the hair will fall once it's dry and styled, and color has to build dimension without weighing it down. It's less about doing less and more about doing it differently.

Lightweight, volumizing formulas make the biggest difference — heavy creams and oils tend to weigh fine hair down fast. I utilize a few Davines regimens built for finer, thinner hair, and we'll figure out what's actually worth adding to your routine at your appointment, rather than guessing at a full lineup.

I've spent my career as an educator, not just a stylist, and Davines is the line I chose to build that part of my work around. The formulas perform at a high level, and the company's approach to sustainability and ingredients matches how I want to run my own business. I trained with another manufacturer years ago, so the switch was a deliberate one, not a casual one.

It means Davines trusts me to train other stylists across the region on their techniques and products — a different level of vetting than just using a brand. Practically, for you, it means the color and care decisions I make come from a deeper, more current understanding of these formulas than most stylists have access to.
