Hair longer than clavicle. Global lightening is also commonly referred to as a "full bleach out". This service can be used to create a platinum look or ready the hair for fantasy colors. This process removes all the pigment from your hair and preps it for very light hair colors. May take more than one appointment. Your service provider can consult you what is achievable in one day given integrity of hair. *This service does NOT include a blow dry or haircut.*

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 Global Lightening Long Hair.

How many appointments does Global Lightening Long Hair typically require?

It depends on your starting level, hair integrity, and desired brightness. Some clients can reach very light levels in one appointment, but darker or previously colored hair often needs staged sessions to protect hair health and achieve even lift.

Will Global Lightening Long Hair significantly damage my hair's integrity and texture?

Lightening involves lifting natural pigment which can cause damage if over-processed. We assess hair health, use protective bond builders, and may recommend multiple gentle sessions to preserve integrity. Follow home care and professional treatments to maintain strength and prevent breakage.

Does the Global Lightening Long Hair service include a blow dry or haircut?

No. This service focuses strictly on full lightening and does NOT include a blow dry or haircut. Add-on styling or cutting can be scheduled separately or during a follow-up appointment for an additional fee.

How should I prepare my hair before a Global Lightening Long Hair appointment?

Avoid washing hair 24-48 hours prior to appointment to preserve natural oils. Bring photos, disclosures of past chemical services, and be ready to discuss desired shade and any at-home treatments you've used.

How long will the Global Lightening Long Hair appointment take?

Appointment time varies by starting color and hair length; expect several hours for a full bleach-out. If multiple sessions are needed, we'll schedule follow-ups. Your stylist will provide an estimated time during consultation.

Can previously colored or treated hair receive Global Lightening Long Hair safely and effectively?

Yes, often, but results depend on previous color history and hair condition. Multiple sessions, strand tests, and bond-rebuilding treatments may be required to achieve even lift while maintaining hair health.
