BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH SERVICE TO BOOK?
If it's your first time booking an appointment with Hairaddictz, you will need to book a NEW CLIENT service. NEW CLIENT services are designed specifically to ensure you reach your desired look or palette. As a new client, the different packages you can choose give us extra time to have a consultation and accounts for extra product. The more time we have together, the more we can achieve in one session (based on colouring conditions). Consultations allow us to assess your hair integrity, review your colour history, and understand your comfort level, hair fears, and goals. This way we can create a game plan and schedule to achieve your desired look that best suits your day-to-day routine.
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT PACKAGE I SHOULD BOOK?
If you are a new client, you need to select one of the NEW CLIENT packages or services. Existing clients looking to make a significant change, or clients that haven't come in for longer than 4 months, please select the TRANSFORMATION or the FULL HEAD REFRESH package.
The MAINTENANCE BLONDE package is designed to refine, enhance, or retouch your current colour and is meant for existing clients.
The FULL HEAD REFRESH package is also meant for existing clients of Hairaddictz and is not meant for NEW CLIENTS. It is recommended to be done every 2- 4 months.
Our services when scheduled in this order allow for proper time and product to address your specific hair needs in the best way possible.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME IN FOR MAINTENANCE?
For BLONDES it's typical to come in anywhere from 8-16 weeks depending on one's personal blonde journey and desired blonde look. During your first appointment, we will determine what the maintenance and upkeep journey will look like uniquely for you.
Once you've had the TRANSFORMATION or the FULL HEAD REFRESH service,
it's important to keep up with maintenance of your appointments to ensure that we keep your hair in optimal condition and in line with your desired look. If
you go 4 months or longer without an appointment, then you will need to book the FULL HEAD REFRESH package to compensate for the amount of regrowth
and rebalancing needed to get your hair back on track with your desired look and goals.
For the GRAY COVERAGE ROOT TOUCH-UP service, it' s typical to have an appointment every 4-6 weeks, in order to refresh your mid-shaft to ends. You can add TONING GLOSS + TREATMENT to add shine and vibrancy, every 8-10 weeks.

WHY DOES MY BLONDE TURN YELLOW OR BRASSY?
Some degree of warmth such as a yellow or brassy tone is exposed and naturally happens when hair undergoes the lightning or colouring process. When we use toning gloss during your blonde and colour service, we are cancelling the warmth as needed to the extent needed to achieve your desired look. Overtime however, your hair will naturally attempt to revert to it's natural pigment. How your natural hair behaves and things such as natural elements like heat damage, UV rays, and product and or water mineral buildup, is what will determine how often and when you need to return for your next appointment.
WHAT IS A TONING GLOSS?
Toning gloss a very important product that helps us achieve your desired and customized look. A toning gloss is sheer coloured and allows us to cancel or emphasize the underlying warmth found in your hair as necessary, in order to achieve the blonde or caramel hues you desire.
Since hair is naturally inclined to want to revert to it's natural warmth, toning gloss must be reapplied approximately every 6-8 weeks in order to maintain the results achieved. The length of time between appointments all depends on how frequently you wash your hair, what hair products you use and how your hair responds to the natural elements mentioned in the answer above.
CAN TONING GLOSS MAKE ME BLONDER?
The short answer is no. A toning gloss can only work at/ with the level of brightness that your hair exposes during the lightning process. It will tone down the yellow out of blonde, orange out of caramel and red out of brown, without making the hair lighter.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED TO GET THE LOOK I WANT?
Everyone's blonde or colour journey is unique and so is the appointment type and number of sessions required to meet unique hair goals. The number of sessions can depending on whether a client requires significant rebalancing or multiple techniques to reach their ideal hair goal. Some other factors that can determine how many sessions are needed are previous colour history, the integrity of your hair, natural pigmentation, the specifics of your desired hair look, and the density and texture of your hair strands. About half of new clients can get to their desired look in one session when all these conditions are met.
Typically during each session we’re able to build in at least 2 colours and/ or dimensions, where as most desired looks require 4-5, so the more sessions you have, the more we can achieve your hair goals.
WHAT IS OLAPLEX AND BOND BUILDER?
OLAPLEX is a professional-inspired treatment that primes hair for deeper repair with the highest dose of patented technology. It rebuilds hair bonds, strengthens and protects hair integrity. These bonds give the hair its structure, strength and stability. When disulphide bonds are broken, it results in damage.
OLAPLEX restores damaged and compromised hair by repairing from the inside out. The result is a dramatic reduction in breakage during a blonding or colour service for hair that is noticeably healthier and more resilient, and colour that is more vibrant and longer-lasting immediately following and between appointments.
