First-time appointments typically take between 3–5 hours, depending on your hair goals, current hair condition, and the complexity of the service. Major color corrections or transformation appointments may require additional time. We always begin with a thorough consultation to ensure we create a customized plan for your hair.
Yes. We recommend arriving with clean, dry hair whenever possible. This allows your stylist to accurately assess your hair's natural color, condition, density, and texture during the consultation. Avoid heavy styling products, dry shampoo buildup, or excessive oils before your appointment.
Inspiration photos are always helpful. We also recommend being prepared to discuss your hair history, previous color services, daily styling routine, and long-term hair goals. The more information we have, the better we can customize your service.
Maintenance depends on the service you receive. Grey coverage typically requires appointments every 4–8 weeks, while many blonding services can be maintained every 8–16 weeks with glossing or toning appointments between visits. Your stylist will create a maintenance plan based on your goals and lifestyle.
Sometimes, yes. However, achieving your desired result depends on your starting point, previous color history, and the health of your hair. Our priority is always maintaining the integrity of your hair while working toward your long-term goals. Some transformations may require multiple appointments.
Box color can impact the color correction and blonding process. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your hair history and create a realistic plan to safely achieve your desired result. Be as honest as possible about previous color applications so we can provide the best recommendations.
Many homes in the Boise area have hard water, which can contribute to brassiness, discoloration, dryness, and mineral buildup. We may recommend professional products, treatments, or a shower filtration system to help protect your color and maintain brighter, healthier hair between appointments.
Because every blonding service is customized, pricing varies based on hair length, density, maintenance history, and desired result. Your stylist will provide recommendations and pricing during your consultation so you understand the investment before your service begins.
Cannot rate Hidden Beauty and Trina highly enough. Honestly she's the very best. Trina has been doing my hair for over 8 years, and makes me feel incredible. If you're looking for blonding, she's your girl.
