Yes - it's formulated specifically for color-treated hair and is gentle. We recommend waiting 48-72 hours after an intense color service only if advised by your colorist. Otherwise, the treatment safely enhances vibrancy, seals the cuticle, and protects against immediate fading.

For most clients we recommend a salon Gemstone Treatment every four to six weeks, depending on color fade and hair porosity. Monthly maintenance keeps color glossy; combine with recommended at-home products to extend vibrancy between visits.

No - the Gemstone Treatment doesn't deposit color or alter tone. It enhances shine, evens surface reflectivity, and makes color appear richer. If you desire a tone change, ask your stylist about a complementary gloss or color service instead.

Results typically last four to six weeks, depending on hair type, porosity, washing frequency, and sun exposure. Using color-safe shampoos and following your stylist's at-home recommendations will extend the treatment's protective shine and reduce premature fading.

Yes - you can use styling products immediately after the service. If your stylist applies a finishing gloss we may advise styling without washing for a short period. Avoid clarifying products and heavy alcohol-based sprays to preserve the treatment's shine.

Use a sulfate-free shampoo, color-protecting conditioner, and a lightweight shine serum or UV protector between salon visits. R+CO color-care products or your stylist's recommended line will preserve vibrancy and extend longevity when used as directed.
