How long does a custom hair colour session take?

Root touch-ups take 1.5 to 2 hours, global colour takes 2 to 3 hours, and full hand-painted balayage or highlights take 3.5 to 5 hours.

Are the hair colours safe for sensitive scalps?

Yes, we offer gentle, low-ammonia and ammonia-free formulations paired with scalp protection treatments.

How does Kara Salon protect hair health during colouring?

I have been doing Aqua Spa at Kara since 2018 — this is my fourth time. The quality is amazing and the detailing they do is outstanding. The best part is how it stays for a longer period and looks very natural.
