Healthy hair guides every decision.
Goldwell Light Dimensions
Professional lightening selected according to the starting level, desired lift and condition of the hair.
Goldwell BondPro
Bond-supporting care may be recommended to strengthen the service and home-maintenance plan.
Toning and glossing
Colorance or Gloss Tones refine warmth, brightness and the final character of the blonde.
Progressive appointments
Some goals are safest and most beautiful when achieved over more than one visit.
Before your appointment
Share your complete hair history.
Previous permanent color, home color, lightener, smoothing treatments, metallic salts and recent chemical services can change what is safely possible.
After your appointment
Maintain tone and condition.
Use the LDI and Goldwell care recommended for your formula, limit unnecessary heat and follow the return schedule created with your stylist.
