Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Olaplex / Malibu – Advanced Hair Artist.

This service uses bond-building Olaplex chemistry combined with Malibu clarifiers to reconnect broken disulfide bonds and remove deposits. Together they repair internal structure, improve texture, and prepare hair for further salon services or at-home maintenance.

Yes. Both Olaplex and Malibu are formulated to be color-safe. The bond-building process actually protects and strengthens color-treated hair, while clarifying removes residue without stripping professionally applied hair color when performed by our Advanced Hair Artists.

Sessions typically range from 45 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, condition, and whether you combine with other services. Your stylist will assess and give a precise time estimate during consultation.

Most clients benefit from a single salon treatment followed by at-home maintenance. Severely damaged hair may require a series spaced weeks apart; your stylist will recommend a tailored schedule based on hair condition and goals.

Absolutely. Our Advanced Hair Artists often integrate bond-building treatments into color services to minimize damage and improve results. Clarifying can be done beforehand to ensure even color application. We’ll plan the best sequence for your hair.

Use salon-recommended shampoos and conditioners designed for bond maintenance and gentle cleansing. Avoid heavy mineral buildup, limit heat styling, and schedule periodic touch-ups. Your stylist will provide specific product and frequency recommendations for lasting results.
