Tig was amazing, I was intown from Charleston,Sc. I need my roots done, she gave me a make over, my hair hasn't look this good in a very long time. I have curly hair so I was super nervous. She was very reassuring. When I saw myself in the mirror I was so amazed I felt like a new woman. The only downsides is I live in charleston and she's in atlanta. I'm planning a trip to Atl,soon!...more

Let me start off by saying all of the reviews about Tig are absolutely true!! I booked an appointment with her based off the reviews and she did NOT disappoint. Seriously one of my favorite hair dues if not my favorite ever!! She knew exactly what I wanted and is a true professional with cutting hair and highlights. Not to mention she’s so sweet as well!! I recently moved to Atlanta and am so happy I found my new hair salon / stylist!! Will be going back every time...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Double Process.

What does a double process color service involve from start to finish?

A double process first lifts natural pigment with a lightener, then applies a toner or color to achieve the final shade. The service includes consultation, strand testing, bond-repair treatments as needed, processing time, and a professional finish.

Is a double process suitable for dark or previously colored hair?

Yes, but suitability depends on prior color history and hair condition. Dark or previously colored hair may require additional sessions or careful lifting to avoid damage. Your stylist will assess and recommend a safe plan with bond repair if necessary.

How long does a double process appointment typically take at salon?

Appointments usually take between two and four hours depending on hair length, density, desired lift, and processing times. Extra time may be needed for consultations, corrective work, or additional bond-building treatments to preserve hair health.

Will a double process cause more damage than single-process color?

Because it involves lifting then coloring, a double process can be more stressful to hair. Professional techniques, proper timing, and bond-repair treatments significantly reduce risk, and your stylist will recommend aftercare to maintain strength and minimize breakage.

How should I prepare my hair before a double process appointment?

Come with clean, product-free hair and disclose recent chemical services. Avoid at-home coloring for several weeks. Bring reference photos and be prepared for a consultation; sometimes staged sessions are advised for the healthiest outcome.

How long will results from a double process color last and fade?

Longevity depends on porosity, aftercare, and sun exposure. Expect vibrant results for several weeks, with toning maintenance recommended every 6–8 weeks. Use color-safe formulas, bond-supporting treatments, and sulfate-free products to extend vibrancy.
