Questions

  • Q. What’s the difference between a partial weave and full weave? A. A weave( aka Highlights, lowlights)  is a service performed with foils.  This look is achieved by highlighting the sides and the top of the head with either bleach or color(s).  A Full weave is achieved with the same process but the entire head is highlighted or lowlighted.
  • Q. What’s the difference between highlights and lowlights? A. Quite simply, a highlight lightens and brightens the hair, while a lowlight darkens and deepens it.  Both give the hair dimension.  Think blonde, gold and chamomile tones for highlights; reds, plums and aubergine shades for lowlights.  Usually, two or thress colors are used throughout the air for a mutlifaceted, shimmering effect.

  • Q. How far in advance should I book an appointment? A. Sometimes a person can call and schedule an appointment the same day. But if there is a certain time that is needed it is wise to call 1 or 2 weeks ahead. In the case of multi-appts, (such as a wedding party) a minimum of 1 month is suggested.
  • Q. What are lash extensions? A. Lash extensions are lashes that are individually applied to each eyelash making your own lashes look full and natural.  Ask for Sonia to book your appointment.
  • Q. How can I get more volume when styling my hair? A. First of all, the right cut with layers and texture in the right placed will give you maximum volume.  With that in place, use a large round brush in the crown area and after your hair is dry, hold 1-2 inch sections up and apply a bit of strong hairspray to the roots.  (We recommend either Redken Workforce or Unite Maxcontrol).  While still holding the hair up, give it a quick blast with the hairdryer to set.  This will give you volume that lasts all day.
  • Q. My eyebrows are uneven or too thin, can this be fixed? A. Of course.  Most people over tweeze the middle or tweeze too much on the top.  Put those tweezers down and let either Sonia or Mercedes fix you up!
