I LOVE the style studio and have been going here for the last few years consistently. My hair has never been healthier and Kiara has a wonderful demeanor. I usually come for a silk press, but exclusively see Kiara for my color and extensions - she’s simply the best!...more

Kiara is my GO-TO hair stylist! From the professionalism, to the creativity I know I can always count on her to get me photo shoot ready. Hair health as well as being able to work out are both priority for me, and she has really been able to help me maintain the integrity of both when I run out of ideas. She's also AMAZING with hair color and now that I think about it, I need to see what we can cook up next lol....more

Kiara has been working magic on my hair since 2019. The first time she gave me a cut and color was when she was still in DC. She talked me through what she thought would be the best style, color, and tone for my hair. Even though I gave her a very vague description of what I wanted, she achieved exactly what I had in mind. During the pandemic, Kiara opened her own studio in Alexandria and at that time I wasn’t able to see her. I went to two different hair dressers for cut/color and none of them were able to provide the look that Kiara gives me every time. Never again. Although I still live in DC, I make the trip to Alexandria every 6-8 weeks because I do not trust my hair with anyone else!! As a blonde, it can be hard to find a colorist who is able to achieve a non-brassy yet modern look and Kiara does just that. She has a natural talent for working with hair of all colors and textures. I have reccomended her to all of my friends because I want them to feel just as confident and beautiful as I do leaving her studio ❤️...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Color Retouch.

What does the Color Retouch service include and exclude specifically?

This Color Retouch is an all-over root touch-up for up to 2 inches of regrowth. It does not include a haircut or blowdry. If you want those services, add them after the 45-minute color processing time—not before or during.

How much root growth can a Color Retouch cover effectively?

A Color Retouch is designed to cover up to 2 inches of new growth. If your roots exceed that or you want a significant color change, we may recommend a full color or gloss service for optimal, even results.

Can I get a haircut or blowdry with my Color Retouch?

Haircut and blowdry are not included. Please book any cutting or styling as an additional service after the 45-minute processing time. Do not schedule a haircut before or during your color processing to avoid timing conflicts.

How long does processing time take for a Color Retouch?

Most color and highlight services, including retouches, typically require about 45 minutes to process after application. Plan for the full appointment to include consultation, application, processing, rinse, and optional finishing.

How often should I schedule a Color Retouch to maintain color?

Clients typically return every 4–6 weeks for a Color Retouch depending on growth rate, hair texture, and contrast with the base color. Your stylist will recommend the ideal timing based on your maintenance routine and goals.

Do you perform allergy tests before a Color Retouch appointment?

If you are new to our salon or using a new formula, a patch test may be advised 48–72 hours before your appointment. This helps ensure safety for sensitive skin and prevents allergic reactions.
