Booking a Hair Color Service: What We Need to Know

Know What You Want Before Booking

We love helping our clients achieve their dream hair color, and we want to make sure every appointment runs smoothly from start to finish. The key to a great experience is reserving enough time for the services you want.

If you're thinking about a major change — like going lighter, adding more highlights than usual, or refreshing both roots and ends — please tell us exactly what you're thinking when you book. This helps us set aside the right amount of time.

How Much Time We Need

Root touch-up: about 1½ hours. Full color refresh: 2 hours. Partial highlights or balayage: 2 to 3 hours. Full highlights or major color change: 3 to 4+ hours.

When you call or book online, be as specific as possible. Tell us what services you think you'll need or reference a prior visit. We're happy to look up when you last had your roots done, if you're due for a full vs a partial, etc.

If you're unsure what you want, that's good information too. We're happy to build in some extra time for a color consultation. We can also do this virtually to give you a realistic estimate of the time and cost involved.
