Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Root Smudge & Gloss.
Most root smudge and gloss services take about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on hair length, density, and the level of blending required. Consultation and gloss application included; allow extra time for styling or additional color services.
When performed correctly, a root smudge is gentle because it uses lower processing than full retouches. The gloss adds conditioning and shine. Our stylists use protective products to minimize damage and recommend treatments to maintain hair health between services.
