ALTERNATIVE COLOR FAQs The Hair Sorceress — Milwaukee Q: Will bleach ruin my hair? A: Done correctly, with bond builders and proper timing, no. Lightening is a controlled process. The damage stories usually come from rushing it or doing it at home. We go at the pace your hair can handle. Q: How long will my vivid color last? A: Anywhere from 3 to 8+ weeks depending on the shade, your base, and your aftercare. Some colors (like reds and purples) hold longer; pastels fade fastest. Aftercare is more than half the battle. Q: Can you fix my box dye / previous color? A: Usually yes — color correction is a specialty. Bring photos and your full history to the consultation so we can plan realistically. Corrections can take multiple sessions. Q: I have no idea what I want. Is that okay? A: Completely. Take the Hair Color Quiz on the site to get a starting point, then we refine it together at your consultation. Q: Do you do consultations? A: Yes, and for big changes I recommend one first. Book through the site. Q: How should I prep for my appointment? A: Come with clean-ish, product-free hair unless told otherwise, eat beforehand (color days are long), and bring reference photos.
