    Gallery and Booking FAQs

    Can I bring photos from the gallery to my appointment?

    Absolutely. Bringing inspiration photos, including images from this gallery, is one of the best ways to start your consultation. It helps Ilona understand the tone, texture, and finish you are looking for so she can create a personalized plan that works for your specific hair.

    Will my results look exactly like the before and after photos?

    Every result is tailored to the individual. Your starting color, hair texture, condition, and lifestyle all affect the outcome. Ilona will be honest during your consultation about what is achievable in a single session and what a realistic roadmap looks like for your specific goals.

    How long do color transformation results typically last?

    It depends on the service. Balayage and highlights can last 8 to 16 weeks before a refresh is needed. Single-process color typically needs attention every 4 to 8 weeks depending on your grow-out preference. Your stylist will recommend a maintenance schedule based on your result and lifestyle.

    What if I have previously colored or chemically treated hair?

    Previously treated hair requires extra care during color services, especially for corrections or lightening. Ilona will perform a thorough hair analysis at your consultation to assess your hair health and recommend the safest and most effective approach for your desired result.

    Do you offer free consultations before booking a major service?

    A thorough consultation is built into every appointment at IlonaR Style. For major color corrections or extension applications, we strongly recommend reaching out in advance so we can plan the right amount of time and discuss your goals before the session begins.
