What Each Color Service Includes

Tint Retouch — Starting at $60

A tint retouch is the most common color maintenance service. It applies color only to the root area — the new growth since your last appointment — to match your existing color and cover grey or regrowth. If your current color is working well and you just need a refresh at the roots, this is the right service.

Most clients schedule a tint retouch every 4 to 6 weeks depending on how fast their hair grows and how much visible regrowth they're comfortable with.

Tint — Starting at $70

A full tint applies color from roots to ends for complete, even coverage across all of the hair. This is what you book when you want a full color change — not just a touch-up — or when the lengths and ends have faded significantly and need to match the fresh color at the root.

A tint and a tint retouch are different services: the retouch is roots only, while a full tint covers the entire head.

Virgin Tint — Starting at $70

A virgin tint is a first-time all-over color service for hair that has never been chemically colored before. "Virgin" refers to hair with no previous color history. Because virgin hair processes color very predictably, the results are typically exceptionally clean and consistent.

If you've never colored your hair and want a full change, this is the right starting point.

Toner — Starting at $60

A toner neutralizes unwanted tones in lightened or highlighted hair — particularly the yellow and brassy shades that develop as bleached or highlighted hair oxidizes over time. Toners are semi-permanent, they don't lighten hair, and they deposit tone while adding noticeable shine.

Most clients add a toner at the end of a highlight or balayage appointment to finish the look. It can also be booked as a standalone service between larger color appointments to keep cool, ashy, or platinum tones looking fresh without a full recolor.

Lightener Retouch — Starting at $115

A lightener retouch is for clients with previously lightened or bleached hair who need their root area lifted to match the rest of their hair. It's the blonde equivalent of a tint retouch — root lightening only, not a full head.

Clients with significant blonde or platinum color typically schedule a lightener retouch every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast their hair grows and how much root contrast they're comfortable showing.

Virgin Lightener — Starting at $135

A virgin lightener takes all-over uncolored hair to a full-coverage blonde. This is a more intensive process than most other color services because it involves removing natural pigment from the entire head of hair.

The result is a complete blonde transformation — and the foundation for many additional services, including toning to a specific shade or adding dimension with highlights afterward.

Ombre — Starting at $135

Ombre is a gradient color technique where the hair transitions from darker at the roots to lighter at the ends. Unlike balayage, which creates a soft, blended look, ombre features a more clearly defined color progression — a visible shift from one tone to another.

It's a strong choice for clients who want a dramatic result without frequent root maintenance, since the dark root is part of the design rather than something to disguise.

Fashion Shades — Starting at $80

Fashion shades are vibrant, unnatural tones — purples, blues, greens, pinks, and other colors outside the natural hair color spectrum. Most fashion shades require a lightened base to show up with the intended intensity, which means they're often paired with a lightening service at the same or a prior appointment.

Fashion shades typically require more frequent maintenance than natural tones because the vivid pigment fades faster, especially in Colorado where UV exposure is elevated year-round due to altitude.

Men's Color — Starting at $55

Men's color covers grey hair or adds depth and dimension to a men's style. It's a targeted service designed for men who want coverage or enhancement without the full scope of a traditional color appointment. Most men's color services take about 45 minutes to an hour.

What Affects the Final Price?

All prices listed are starting rates. The actual cost of your service depends on several factors:

  • Hair length and density: More hair means more product and more time
  • Starting condition: Stressed, damaged, or heavily processed hair may require additional prep or product
  • Color history: Previous color — especially lightener — can complicate the formula and require additional steps to achieve the target result
  • Add-ons: A toner, deep conditioning treatment, or bond treatment added to your appointment affects the total

Your stylist will review all of this during the consultation and confirm the total before starting any work. There are no surprises.

How Color Services Work Together

Many clients combine services in a single appointment. Common combinations include:

  • Tint retouch + toner: Refreshes the root and adjusts the overall tone in one visit
  • Virgin lightener + toner: Goes blonde and sets the final tone in the same appointment
  • Tint + partial highlights: Builds a base color with dimension on top — view tint with partial highlights pricing
  • Color + deep conditioning or bond treatment: Protects the hair's health during and after chemical processing — explore treatment options

Combining services at one appointment is usually more efficient than booking them separately and can reduce your total time in the chair.

How to Prepare for Your Color Appointment

  • Arrive with clean, product-free hair
  • Bring photos of colors you like — and colors you want to avoid
  • Tell your stylist about any previous chemical services, box color, or recent changes to your hair
  • Block 2 to 4 hours depending on the service — color should never feel rushed
