Hair Colouring
- Highlights/Balayage Blonde hair: 4 to 5 hours
- Highlights/Balayage Brown/Black hair: 3 to 4 hours
- An extra session may be necessary, depending on the condition of the hair and its development.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
- a previous hair evaluation is essential (online or in person)
- allergy specifications (please advise if any)
- front and back hair photo taken in direct sunlight (send via WhatsApp click here)
- 3 references (at least one from @izabellabordignon)
- if you have done any colouring in the past, please inform us
- if you have done any Brazilian Blowout / Straightening Treatments in the past, please inform us
Hair Colouring Procedure
- We perform a hair colouring test to analyse the strength and health of your hair.
- Your hair colouring test may be rejected if it is elastic or sensitised. In that case, we will do a hair treatment and give you directions to strengthen your hair before doing a new hair colouring test. The cost of the hair treatment, consultation and hair colouring test is £99 . Remember: hard water is one of hair’s biggest enemies. We recommend you use a shower filter and a shampoo formulated for hard water.
- Our professionals will choose the best colour and technique for your hair. It is mandatory that you have at least 3 desirable references, one of them being from @izabellabordignon.
- During the hair dying, we will provide capillary protectors to maintain the health of the hair from powder bleach.
- A Reconstruction Treatment after the procedure is highly recommended. We recommend IB Detox Max or IB Special Blend treatment.
- During the first month after the procedure, it will be necessary to pay more attention to and care for your hair.
- It is important to use all of Izabella’s products daily. We suggest at least 1 professional hair treatment a month to maintain the shine and health of your hair.
- After a chemical procedure, the oxidative process (change of colour) happens faster, and because of that, we recommend toning your hair every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain the colour.
- For a follow up full balayage, we suggest 3 months minimum break for complete hair recovery.
Pre-Hair Test/Colouring Protocol (30 Day Period):
Keeping your hair strong and healthy is a priority so, prior to a full colour treatment we recommend this routine for the 30 days before treatment to maximise incredible results with as minimal damage to the hair as possible.
- Use hair oils 1-2 times per week, as a pre-shampoo, 1 hour before sleep. Apply the entire length to the tips of the hair (do not apply on the roots).
- Wash your hair with a moisturising shampoo (we recommend Wella Professional or Davines) in the morning, and apply a hair mask of your preference. Suggestions: Davines OI Oil or Oil Reflections, from Wella.
- Use 5 pumps of hair oil on wet hair and dry it as usual.
- In the case of frizziness, use hair oil on dry hair as well. The oil helps to maintain the hydration of the hair cuticles.
- Use heat as little as possible during this period.
- Every step is important and must be executed to reinforce the structure and maintain the strength of the hair during the bleaching/colouring process.
Hair with Brazilian Blowout / Straightening Treatments:
- The Brazilian Blowout encapsulates the hair strand, making it difficult for the bleach to perform. The chemical components of Brazilian Keratin are mostly not compatible with the bleaching process, resulting in hair breakage.
- The Brazilian Blowout makes it difficult to reveal the true hair colour, and so the entrance and removal of the colour pigment. For that reason, we cannot guarantee a 100% satisfactory result for hair treated with Brazilian Blowout.
