The Expertise
Why Quality Color Takes Time
It's not just 'dye.' It's a precise chemical process. We respect the integrity of your hair too much to rush it.
01
30 min
Consultation
We don't just ask 'what do you want?' We analyze your hair history, integrity, and lifestyle. We align on reference photos so we share the same vision before a drop of color is mixed.
02
15 min
Formulation
Reixa custom mixes your color. This isn't a single tube from a box; it's a blend of 20-30 micro-pigments designed to counteract your specific undertones and achieve dimension.
03
1-2 hrs
Application
The artistry happens here. Whether hand-painting balayage or weaving micro-lights, every foil is placed with intention to create depth, movement, and the perfect grow-out.
04
45-90 min
Processing
Patience is key. We monitor the lift constantly to ensure we reach the target level without compromising hair health. Rushing this step causes damage; we take the time.
05
30 min
Toning
This is where the 'magic' happens. We apply a custom gloss to seal the cuticle, eliminate brass, and deposit the final tonal character (ashy, golden, beige, etc).
06
45 min
Treatment & Style
We end with a bond-building treatment to lock in moisture. Then, a professional blowout and style reveals the true dimension of your new color.
Real Transformations
No filters. Just healthy, dimensional hair in natural light.
Common Color Questions
If it's your first time lightening, or you want a major change seeing lightness underneath and all over, book a Full. If you just want to brighten around your face and refresh the top layer for maintenance, a Partial is perfect.
We prioritize integrity above all else. We use bond-builders in every lightener and will never push hair past its breaking point. If your hair isn't healthy enough for the service you want, we will be honest and offer a rehabilitation plan instead.
Brassiness comes from under-lifting (not leaving lightener on long enough) or improper toning. Reixa lifts to the correct raw level and then custom formulates a toner to neutralize unwanted orange/yellow tones specifically for your hair type.
Yes, but it takes time. Corrective color is complex and often requires multiple sessions to safely remove bands, spots, or harsh lines. We start with a mandatory consultation to set realistic expectations.
Our lived-in balayage techniques are designed for longevity, lasting 3-4 months before needing a full refresh. Toners/glosses typically fade in 6-8 weeks, so we recommend booking a 'Gloss & Blowdry' in between major appointments to keep it fresh.
