Soft color and grow-out
Color chosen to grow out well
Root color and soft all-over color for brunettes who want a low-maintenance schedule.
Fern picks a shade close to your natural level and softens the roots into the length, so there is no hard line as it grows out. What sets the price is the length and density of your hair and the steps in your plan; the page on how pricing works has the rest. Results vary with your hair and its history, and Fern does every step herself.

Questions
About soft color
How often will I need a root color?
Most plans run ten to fourteen weeks apart. Your consultation sets yours.
Can I go lighter or darker?
Fern keeps color close to your natural level so it grows out softly. If you want a bigger change, she will explain how many visits it takes.
Do I need a patch test?
Some products ask for one before a first visit. Tell Fern when you book if you have reacted to a hair product.
