✨For Hair botox and Taninoplastia informations , keep scrolling down

Welcome on my page ,

My name is Karo Jade , i am a hair colorist located in the south of edmonton , i am originated from Quebec/ Canada , my first language is french, but don't worries my english is extremely fluid .

I know that most people visiting my website mostly want to know one thing : how much does your services cost? lollll

⚠️ But before we take the plunge , please make sure you keep scrolling all the way down to know which services i am offering , what i don't do and don't work on , as well as my policies .

------------------------------------------------------

Pricing :

I charge a hourly rate of 80$ + gst .

This pricing include highlights , Olaplex , toner , Smudje root , and blow drying .

The Styling is free .

🔸Some services are fix charge

A appointment duration can be anywhere from 1 to 6 hours.

It of course all depends on which canvas we have to start

( are your hair black, blond , virgin , dyed multiple time , fragile or strong ect ..)

And then from that starting point , what need to be done to try to get to your end goal

( are you asking for dimension , solid bleach color , natural , low maintenance ect ..)

as well as which panel you wish to touch up (for example only the top, top and side or complet head ect.).

I can also work on a budget , that mean i would do what i can in the amount of time you can afford . But i still need a minimum , Here is a example :

If we go ligther :

The highlights time( foiling ) is the only thing i can change/control the timing

The following i can't :

•Processing time ( when the bleach is on ) required 60-80 minutes +

•Then the smudje root and toner ~45 minutes

•Washing your hair of all the product ~15 minutes

•Blow drying ~25 minutes

That mean the timing is already at ~2.40 hours , and this didn't count any foiling .

Foiling time depend on which panel you want to do as explained above , how many highlights you want , how much hair you have ect ...

And to give you a example, foiling a complet head on a girl with very thick hair can take up to 2 hours + . ( this mean ~2 hours + the ~ 2,40 explained above )

So if you are on a tight budget , i could foils the top only with dimension , or where you part your hair , or just your front or just a money pieces .

But i need at least a 30 minutes of foiling to do a little something .

So allowed me at least 3,20 hours if you want to go ligther , so i can do a little something . But in those case don't expect a crazy transformation like i showcase on my instagram please .

Other available option :

I could also not bleach anything and only do a smudje root and a toner , a colormelting ect .. To help blend whatever you have at the moment .

Those services are a fix charge , depending on how much product are used , timing ect ...

but they are definitely cheaper than when bleach is used .

As for Low light ( putting back dark dimension like a reverse highlights ) they do take time. Because the foiling time is the same as highlights, i only save time on the processing time as i only have to process the low light for 20 minutes compare to the 60-80 minutes highlights required

--------------------------------------------

Also Going ligther from dark or warm , take multiple sessions.

( keep scrolling down to read my text on the different step to expect from the dark to light process ).

For example a huge transformation could take up to 3 appointment, and be 4 hours each one for example

( those appointments also need to be space out by months , ottherwise the more it's rush , the more damage will occur ) .

And then once the right color is finally achieve , it then become a normals regular root touch up which are of course less time consuming which also mean less expensive .

---------------------------------------------

Important fact to remember, The more dimension you keep at the root , the lower the maintenance will be . Why ?

Because the more dimension we keep with your virgin hair , the better the blend is right away from the start and the better the highlights blend mean that the highlights blend with your virgin hair , we can't see a harsh line, so when it grow , everything look the same and still look good and like a "wanted" rooty look , and not like a harsh line from a heavy foiling !

So the more you let dimension from the start , the longer you can go in between root touch up , so the less you spend on your hair in a year when you look at the big total.

Example for the visual people like me :

2 appointment in a year with me, when you let dimension at your root :

services :

•One sessions at 378$, we did babylight complet head root touch up

•Second sessions at 294$, we did babylight root touch up on top and side panel only

* The total prices in that specific example would be more or less 672$

And let's now compare that number to a super highlighted look , that create a harsh line when it grow out and that required a higher maintenance and frequent root touch up .

On those highlights placement , the time frame required is of 8-12 weeks

so here is now a example of the big total if services was done somewhere else for a cheaper upfront cost .

So let's say you go a average of 7 times a year following what we just said above for a average of x ≈ 250$ each time , that would give a total of 1750$

See , that it seams cheaper each time , but you end up spending way more when you look at the big total by the end of the year .

This is obviously a personal choice , and nothing is wrong , but if you are looking for a budget friendly highlights color placement . Definitely keep dimension at your root 🙂

----------------------------------------------

To connect with what i just said above , most of my client have come to me for my signature style , which is a low maintenance highlights color placement ( which is actually harder to create then a super highlighted look and required good skills and more time to do )

So because of that well blended look , most of my client only have to come in my chair 1 or 2 times a year .

They alternate with for example:

•Touching once their top root panel only with babylight

•Then once their top and side panel only

• And finally the other time they do their complet head .

and then the circle start again .

*None of my client do their complet head each time !

What is also a pleasure is that they come to do their hair only because they want to bring their highlights higher up and not because the blend don't look good anymore ( which is a huge difference )

So the blend of my signature style always look amazing even after months ( if you let dimension of course ) .

I can of course also do a heavy highlighted style if this is what you like , but be aware that it will be higher maintenance.

If you choose to do so , there is then the option of doing a session in between where we only do a smudje root and a toner to blend the line , but usually if a client ask for a super highlighted look in the first place , it's because they don't love rooty look right hehe 😉

But know that this is a possible option out there for you , for a longer longevity and a cheaper prices in between highlight sessions .

----------------------------------------------

And now let's talk about The highess maintenance color possible which also mean the more expensive by the end of the year as you have to come more often.

It is the famous solid bleach and tone look .

It is a one single bleach color , all the platinum , white , silver girls have this.

This technique is definitely the way to go if you dream of a clean platinum blonde color .

But this style , required root touch up done every 4-5 weeks maximum. Why ?

Because unfortunately If you wait too long in between a root touch up of that specific style , you will not have a perfect white color and you will have yellow banding at the root ( which honestly don't look so good ) .

it could also be more damaging cause it increase the risk of overlapping And it will cost more to fix then if you had respect the right time frame in the first place .

So if you are on a more tight budget , this is not the style i would suggest to you .

Hair Botox and Taninoplastia

All the question you could have will be answered below 😀You will learn the difference in between the 2 treatments , their details , what they can and can't do , their aftercare ect ..

I know that brittle, fragile and chemically damaged hair leaves anyone in despair and looking for a quick solution .

In search of instant results for this problem, it is quite common to use acidic treatments, sometimes called protein treatments, thermal sealing and keratin treatments containing substances that waterproof the fiber, such as formaldehyde.

These substances create a shielding varnish coating that masks the damage to the fiber. The truth is that from an outside perspective, the hair appears healthy because aligned cuticles reflets shine. But internally the hair remains fragile and damaged.

Botox hair and Taninoplastia works by creating a new shape with intercellular cement without waterproofing the fiber, with all natural ingredient 🌱In addition, it's important to emphasize that for a lasting effect it is essential that you then use the right products and the right technique to blow dry and flat iron your hair.

-----------------------------------------------

➖Talking about hair botox first and down below taninoplastia . Price list also down below

Hair Botox 💉✨:

It is a deep conditioning treatment that fills in broken or thin areas on each hair strand to make hair appear more full and lustrous .

It is able to work in the lower layers of the hair (the cortex) to restore health and flexibility.

Hair Botox offers a long list of hair benefits, it restores shine and softness to the lengths, helps to reattach up to 70% of split ends, strengthens the hair fiber and help reverse damage done by bleach , heat and tight ponytail.

Botox hair do not 🚫:

•Make your hair straight, this is not a smoothing treatment . It is a restorative treatment therefore, it is not designed to change the nature of the hair. You will keep your curls as they are.

If you wish to reduce your curl , opt for a Taninoplastia treatment .

•It is not a brazilian blowout, not a japanese smoothing , not a keratin treatment !

CAN BOTOX or TANINOPLASTIA MAKE your HAIR WORSE?

Never! Only poor maintenance can harm the condition of the hair.

👆🏼SO HOW TO MAINTAIN THE hair BOTOX or TANINOPLASTIA TREATMENT at home ??

⚠️Very important ⚠️ It should be understood that after an intense treatment like Hair botox or Taninoplastia , it is necessary to avoid continuing to treat the hair at home like you would usually do , this will create an overload of protein and can adversely affect the condition of the hair.

Too many protein will make the hair cuticule sweel and explode , creating breakage , dryness ect .. and that phenomenon already happen regularly with client over using protein and keratin treatment themself at home thinking they do good .

Their shampoo have keratin , their conditioner , mask , heat protector and so on . this is way too much , and it create a non-ending bad vicious circle because you think as your hair feel worst that you need to use more .

With Hair botox and Taninoplastia , we first remove every build up you already have to have a clean slate , and then add the right amount of protein your hair need .

Then you must Avoid all of those ingredients in any hair products you use for a minimum period of 2 months:

– keratin

– proteins

– sulfate

ONLY moisturizers product are okay after Botox and Taninoplastia

Search for moisturizer/hydratation shampoo and conditioner .

And stay away from anything that says repairing or reconstructive products, they are to be avoided for the duration of hair botox and taninoplastia . The in salon treatment did this part .

You can look up hair protein ingredients on google for a complet list and verify that what you are using at the moment do not contain those ingredients.

If so , you need to change your hair product , or do not do a hair botox or Taninoplastia treatment 🚫

-For exemple the Blue sexy hair moisturizer , the Sebastian hydre , Redken frizz dismiss , pureology hydrant sheer .

shampoo and conditioner are safe -✅

⚠️IMPORTANT ⚠️

❗️You will unfortunately greatly reduce the longevity of your Hair botox or taninoplastia if afterward :

You bleach you hair
Color your hair with semi or permanent color
Use any boxdye
Use shampoo with sulfate
Don't use good shampoo and conditioner
Use shampoo and conditioner with protein and keratin
Use something with a ph that open your cuticule

If you plan to bleach or color all your hair from root to end , do taninoplastia or botox 2 weeks after those services .

If what you do is always only your root touch up , it is then okay to do taninoplastia or botox whenever , as your length is i presume touch with toner only.

👆🏼But If your hairstylist don't use toner , but use semi or permanent color to tone all the time all your hair from root to end , it will again unfortunately reduce the effect of the taninoplastia or the botox . You could ask your hairstylist for a real toner which is always the better option anyway 👍🏼 So no repetitive amonia, no developer, no agent that open the cuticule 🚫

Deposit color only ( toner ). ✅

🔅Hair botox and Taninoplastia could slightly fade your non- natural color

Step for Hair botox and Taninoplastia :

1️⃣Clarifying your hair and scalp from any buildup, opening your cuticule so the treatment can go in

2️⃣Treatment application

3️⃣Processing time

4️⃣Rinse

5️⃣Blow dry

6️⃣Both treatment are heat activated , so we need to pass the flat iron multiples time , that will also close the cuticule and it's where all the magic happen ✨

7️⃣Trim if wanted

Do not wash your hair for 3 days after your treatment , no ponytails , no curl .

After the 3 days you can do all the above with proper product .

The effects of hair Botox can last between 2–4 months, although the exact time frame will vary from person to person depending on many factor .

👁‍🗨Results are different for everyone , they depend on:

- your natural hair texture

- if our hair are just dry

- or damage by chemical

- or heat ect..

The result says 'up to' for that reason .

But In any case , your hair will always be in better condition than your personal before after one of those treatments but please have realistic expectations.

For extreme damage , trim with the treatment are highly recommend .

*Hair botox does not contain any botulinum toxins like face botox , it is a marketing name , hair botox is so called all over the world to differentiate it from other treatments on the market as it create a a real rejuvenation treatment like face botox would do .

🔅Hair botox and Taninoplastia could slightly fade your non-natural color .

-----------------------------------------------

Taninoplastia 🌱 :

Finally a smoothing organic capillary Realignment without formaldehyde and derivatives🤗

It works by filling and rebuilding the fiber, It aligns up to 70% the strands in a natural and safe way.

In other word , The procedure consists of smoothing / softening curls and frizz and moisturizing the hair instantly .

Making them healthy , soft and shinny .

It can be used on any type of hair, even the already straight one .

And again the most amazing and important thing is that Taninoplastia is 100% natural 😱.

It is NOT a chemical and dangerous straight perm . That mean :

•No chance of creating damage .

•No chemical fume either

( if you had one straight perm in the past , you know 😩👎🏼)

• It is completely Safe for your hair and for your health .

⚠️But , that mean your hair will NOT become 100% straight. in the contrary of what a chemical one would do ( like a japanese or keratin one )

You can expect UP to 70% straightening effect .

Remember as well that every hair type give a different result , of course someone with already healthy hair will get a better woow effect than someone with "mushy" hair from bleach damage to begging with .

As well as someone with almost no curl will become more straight ect ..

So Taninoplastia is NOT ❌

•Made so you won't have to blow dry and straight your hair ever again.

•When your out of your shower . they won't be like the picture i post , you still need to style them a little .

BUT You will or course see a huge improvement already from your own personal before , but if you want the shinny hair , a little and now so QUiCK and easy styling process will be required .

✅The taninoplatia will :

•Fastened the brushing part

•Fastened the blow drying process

•One pass of straightener each strand at low temperature would be enough to have that beautiful shine ✨✨

•Seal split end up to 70%

•You can still curl your hair with no problem

If you prefer to let your hair air dry freely, i don't suggest it , google this :

air drying is bad for your hair

So please blow dry your hair correctly in the right angle to close down your cuticule with a brush , i can teach you if you don't know how, and blow dry with cold to medium warm air .

but if you do let them air dry , you will still see a good difference yes , but not as much , like mention above .

The duration of the effect of Taninoplastia is about 4-6 months , and the more you do it , the more your hair will become straight and strong .

But If you do not want your hair to loose all their curl totally but just a little .

You can do :

•1️⃣One treatment of taninoplastia on your complet head once

•2️⃣Then when time come maintain your new virgin root that have grow curly with taninoplastia , applied on new root only this time

•2️⃣Then optional , but at the same time you could perform a Hair botox on the length only.

The hair Botox have the same advantage except it does not straight hair , and does not touch your curl , but it will reduce frizz , repair moisture , softness and add shine ✨✨

From dark to light

So now here is the Second most requested question , and the answer :

" If your goal is to be white , platinum , silver , icy , a true ashy tone ect ...

And you starting level ain't a light virgin blond already ! It will take time , it will take multiples sessions, It will be warm before you reach your goal and it can be just impossible to reach it !! "

It all goes down to what you did to your hair before.

If your hair are black , red , dark brown box dye and or permanent color , forget that already!!

If your hair are naturally dark , your hair texture will change , because we will need to bleach your hair so much to get there. so it will , even with the best technique and best product in the world , create damage !

As for Virgin asian hair , it will also take multiple sessions ( as i have that particular question alot) .

Your hair will be warm for multiples sessions , a ash color that we might do in between appointment will fade quickly , same for a dark ash brown ! cause actually the ideal canvas for those ash color is to reach almost a platinum color first and then put the ash .

But reaching platinum is a adventure by itself so please do not think that :

" I just want a ash brown "

is something easy and achievable in one sessions .

" it is not ".

same goes for a dark ash grey !

So , Just know this :

Once i know what your end hair goal is , i go at each appointment, the lighter possible without creating extreme damage , i work with what i have to start with . And the end result is the best i can do ! Don't have unrealistic expectation please . No good hairstylist i know bleach to warm on purpose if warm is not what you ask for , it's your hair and your hair past history that dictated how they lift ! Don't be crazy on your hairstylist !

A little more on How many sessions does it take to go white platinum , silver , icy , a true clean ash , pastel , a clean blonde without warmth ect ...

From :

Virgin dark hair 4 sessions

(texture will change )

Colored Dark hair 6 sessions

(texture at the end won't be very good , and will have damage )

Virgin medium light 2 sessions

(Texture might change slightly )

Colored medium light 3 sessions

( texture will change )

Virgin light hair 1 session

(hair texture won't change)

Already light bleach hair 1 session

(It depend on what have been done before , what was your starting point , it could be risky and extremly damaging to try to go ligther if your hair are already overprocess )

--------------------------------------------------------

•Those above are a average example, it could be less or more sessions .

•Each sessions time ( hours ) depend of course of how much hair you have and your starting point , it's safe to say that it is a average of 4,5 hours . Could be less or more .

•In those extrem transformation , Expect warm , copper , red and banding .

You cannot say: i don't want to see orange , you will see orange if you hair aredark .

No way around it unfortunately.

•So do not start going ligther if you hate warm .

•Patience is the key , you should let months in between global ligthing services , ottherwise the more you rush , the more extrem damage will occur .

You can for sure , without any problem do your root touch up , and toner . But bleaching the same sections in the goal of going ligther and removing the warmth ,require time and patience .

So the longer you can wait and rock the warm color as said above , the better your hair texture will remain .

It will takes months / year .

•Be willing to loose length especially if you start from dark dye .

•Bleach will never make your hair feel better , bleach is bleach , the more further ligther you want to go from your actual color , the more your hair texture will change .

•The ideal color is what your virgin hair can lift in one session only without creating any damage , that is the safess color to go

(when you want to go ligther) ,

For some it's a warm blonde , for some it's copper , and some lucky girl lift to platinum just like that .

So if healthy is your number one . Follow this rule above .

•Asian hair are stronger and can be push a little
