Get answers to common questions about Chem Shots – Artistic Director.

Our Artistic Director analyzes porosity and damage, then blends concentrated bond-builders and hydrators specific to your hair. The treatment penetrates the cortex to reconstruct broken bonds and seal the cuticle, often improving texture and reducing breakage immediately with continued gains over weeks.

Sessions typically last 45–75 minutes depending on hair length and damage severity. Consultation and custom formulation add time; when combined with other services scheduling may be adjusted. We provide aftercare guidance and recommend follow-up treatments suited to your needs.
