What the double process is
An All Over Color (Double Process) is a two-step professional service that first adjusts the hair’s underlying pigment and then deposits an even all-over shade. Clients choose this approach when they want uniform color from root to tip rather than a single-touch refresh, and the stylist balances lift and deposit to achieve the target tone.
At Dash Hair & Company, a typical appointment for this service is scheduled for 240 minutes and the listed price is $160. During that time your stylist will evaluate your starting color, plan the two-step approach, and monitor results, adjusting tone so the finished color looks consistent across different hair lengths and textures.
Factors that shape results
Several practical factors influence the outcome: existing color, natural pigment, hair porosity, and how recently hair was colored. Local conditions—Loganville’s humid subtropical climate and frequent outdoor activities—can also affect how color sits and how quickly it appears to fade. Your stylist will consider these details when choosing a shade and processing approach.
Because individuals’ hair histories vary, achieving certain shades may involve trade-offs in processing or maintenance. Depending on starting color and desired change, the stylist may recommend strategies to protect hair integrity and maintain shade, and outline realistic expectations for uniformity and longevity after the double process.
Preparing and aftercare for color
Plan for a longer salon visit and a focused consultation at the start of your appointment so your stylist can confirm goals and timing. Many local clients pair visits with downtown Loganville shopping or outdoor time at Fort Yargo State Park; commuters often prefer scheduling times that fit travel between Atlanta and Athens along Athens Highway.
Aftercare matters in our local climate: color-safe shampooing, limiting prolonged sun and chlorine exposure, and following any product recommendations from your stylist help preserve tone. Your stylist will discuss at-home care habits that fit family schedules and commuter lifestyles to help the all-over color remain balanced and vibrant.
