Our Color Services
We offer a range of color treatments designed to meet different needs and goals, including:
Touch-Up – $130
Perfect for maintaining your current color by applying fresh color to new growth at the root. Keeps your look consistent and polished between full applications.
All-Over Color – $165
A single-process color applied from roots to ends. Ideal for full gray coverage, evening out tone, or shifting to a new shade with rich results.
All-Over Dimensional Color – $230
A more complex service that blends multiple tones for depth, movement, and natural-looking dimension. Creates a lived-in, multidimensional finish that feels soft and sophisticated.
Add-On: Freehand Lowlights – $85
Adds depth and contrast by weaving in darker tones. Enhances dimension, breaks up flatness, and creates a more textured, blended look.
Color That Works With Your Life
The best color is one that suits your features and works well with the way you live. We customize every shade to match your skin tone, natural base, and personal style, and we also consider how much time you want to spend on upkeep and how your hair responds to processing.
If you’re active, spend time outdoors, or prefer a low-maintenance look, we’ll recommend options that will grow out gracefully and require less frequent visits.
Maintaining Your Color Over Time
Great color doesn’t end when you leave the chair. We’ll talk you through how often to schedule touch-ups based on your hair type and growth pattern, and when a gloss or toner might be helpful.
We’ll also recommend a personalized Oway home care regimen to maintain your hair’s health and vibrancy between visits using their organic, biodynamic formulas.
Glosses refresh vibrancy, add shine, and neutralize unwanted tones between color appointments. Toners are especially useful for blondes or anyone looking to fine-tune their shade. We’ll help you build a routine that keeps your color looking fresh without unnecessary maintenance.
How Is Coloring Different Than Lightening?
Coloring and lightening are two different processes that achieve different results. Coloring deposits pigment into the hair to add richness, cover gray, or shift your shade darker or more vibrant. Lightening, on the other hand, removes your hair’s natural pigment to create lighter tones—think highlights, balayage, or an all-over lighter base.
In many cases, we can combine treatments during the same appointment. Your colorist will walk you through which techniques will work best for the look you want.
Can I Combine Hair Coloring With Extensions?
Yes—color and extensions can often work beautifully together. In many cases, extensions are matched to your existing shade or blended with your color service. This can be especially helpful if you want added fullness or length without giving up the dimension and tone that make your color feel like you.
If you are considering both treatments, we will talk through the best order and approach for your hair during your consultation.
