Specialty Hair Color Services
Specialty color services are priced hourly after a consultation, because timing is difficult to predict without assessing your hair. These services require a 1 hour, $100 pre-paid consultation on a day prior to the service. This extended consultation allows us to assess your hair and goals, match color in the case of extensions and then schedule the correct amount of time and assistant help. Since our master colorists can book highlights in an hour, we feel it’s appropriate to charge $100 for these consultations. Schedule a consultation online or call/text the salon.
Salt & Pepper Hair
Have you heard that gray hair makes men look distinguished and women look old? That doesn’t work for us. Salt and Pepper hair done with fashion and flare is a statement of confidence and a celebration of where you are in life. This look incorporates your existing greys and whites into a cohesive palette that can be as tame or striking as you care to make it. If you’re tired of the never ending gray coverage but don’t want to look like you just gave up, this is the service for you. Visit our Salt & Pepper page for more.
Global Blonding
This service is about blonde in a big way. Not dark roots or lived in looks mind you, we’re talking blonde all over from scalp to ends. This is a very different service from a root touchup or typical double process where only an inch or so of new growth is being lightened. Shades can be anything from golden to ash to platinum.
Correction work is about fixing problems caused by multiple attempts of different stylists or by something you may have done at home. Issues we see a lot are uneven color, noticeable banding, splotchy patches, and unintended shades. Some of these fixes don’t take any longer than a single process color, while others can be all day, or multiple visit affairs. Many correction services also involve structural repair and reconditioning of the hair shaft because of all the heat and chemical processing that occurred prior to your visit. We’ll tell you how long your service will take during the consultation.
Color Correction
Major Color Transformation
This service is about big complex color changes that can’t be done in standard timing. We consider a transformation to be a completely different look on hair that has no significant color issues such as banding, splotchy patches or home/box color that may require corrective procedures. Many vivids fall into this category, especially when your desired look will require significant lightening. The longer your hair is the more “major” the transformation usually is in terms of timing. Feel free to text or email a before and desired “after” look if you want a quick determination on whether a prior consultation needs to be done.
