How often should a client typically undergo a color retouch?

Clients should typically undergo a color retouch every 4 to 8 weeks. This frequency allows for consistent maintenance of the color, particularly in coloring techniques that involve covering gray hair or refreshing the vibrancy of the color. During this time frame, the new hair growth becomes noticeable without leading to an uneven look or significant color regrowth. Regular touch-ups within this schedule help keep the hair looking fresh and well-cared for, which is an essential aspect of hair coloring services.

Longer intervals, such as every 8 to 12 weeks or once a year, may lead to more extensive regrowth, which could require more work and product to correct. Additionally, waiting too long can negatively affect the overall appearance of the hair color, making it appear dull or mismatched. Therefore, the 4 to 8 week window is ideal for maintaining the integrity and look of colored hair.
