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 Short Hair.

How long does Global Lightening Short Hair typically take in one appointment?

Timing depends on starting color, hair condition, and desired lift. Short hair may take two to four hours; however, severe darkening or fragile hair could require staged appointments to preserve integrity. Your stylist will estimate time during consultation.

Will Global Lightening Short Hair damage my hair or cause breakage?

Lightening involves lifting pigment and can stress hair if overprocessed. We assess porosity and strength first, recommend bond-building treatments, and may spread services over multiple visits to minimize damage and maintain hair health.

Is a blow dry or haircut included with Global Lightening Short Hair?

No this service does NOT include a blow dry or haircut. Book separate styling or cut appointments if desired; we can recommend add-ons at checkout or during your consultation for a finished look.

How many appointments will Global Lightening Short Hair usually require?

The number varies by starting level and hair health. Often one appointment suffices for lightening, but darker or previously colored hair may need staged lifts across several visits to protect integrity and achieve even results.

Can I achieve a platinum look with Global Lightening Short Hair?

Yes, platinum is achievable depending on natural pigment and hair condition. Some clients require multiple sessions and toner applications; your stylist will assess feasibility and propose a safe plan to reach and maintain a true platinum tone.

Do you offer toning or maintenance after Global Lightening Short Hair?

Yes. We provide toning services, bond-building treatments, and maintenance recommendations including purple shampoos and at-home care. Schedule follow-ups to refresh tone and to monitor hair health after full bleach processes.
