Professional hair care is more than a trim every few months. It's a consistent, planned approach to keeping your hair healthy, looking its best, and recovering from the specific damage Colorado's climate creates. After more than 26 years of Toni & Guy training and working with clients across Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Parker, and Castle Rock, I've seen the difference a structured routine makes compared to booking appointments only when hair gets unmanageable.
This guide covers every category of professional hair care service we offer at Burman & Co — what each one does, who it's right for, and how they work together over time.

What "Professional Hair Care" Actually Means
Professional hair care means services performed by trained stylists using professional-grade products, tools, and techniques — with a consultation process that assesses your hair's condition before any work begins. The difference between a professional service and a DIY or budget approach isn't just the result in the chair. It's the damage avoided, the color that lasts longer, and the cuts that grow out cleanly instead of getting shapeless in two weeks.
At our salon in Lone Tree, every appointment starts with a conversation about your hair history, your goals, and any chemical work that's already been done. That consultation step is what makes professional hair care reliable instead of a gamble.
Haircuts: The Foundation of Every Routine
A well-executed haircut is the foundation everything else is built on. The shape of your cut determines how color sits, how treatments perform, and how manageable your hair is day-to-day.
Women's Cuts
Women's haircuts at Burman & Co are precision cuts designed around your specific texture, face shape, and styling habits. We don't use a single template — every cut is planned during a consultation that accounts for how your hair actually grows and behaves. Common approaches include long layers for movement, soft face-framing, modern bobs and lobs, and textured mid-length shapes.
If your current cut is fighting your natural texture or making your hair harder to style, that's usually a shape problem, not a product problem. The right cut reduces daily styling time and grows out cleanly between appointments.
Men's Cuts
Men's haircuts focus on precision and consistency. Whether you want a classic taper, a modern disconnected fade, or a clean scissor cut, the goal is a shape that holds up for 4 to 6 weeks and lines up properly at the next visit.
Children's Cuts
Children's haircuts are available for younger clients. We keep the environment calm and the process straightforward — children's cuts are priced lower than adult services and typically take less time.

Hair Color: The Most Technically Demanding Service Category
Color work is where professional expertise matters most. The chemistry involved — lifting, depositing, toning, and maintaining — has real consequences if it's done without proper assessment. At Burman & Co, every color appointment includes a detailed consultation before any product is mixed.
Single-Process Color
Tint retouch (starting at $60) is the most common maintenance service — it applies color only to the new root growth to match your existing color or cover grey. Most clients schedule this every 4 to 6 weeks.
Full tint (starting at $70) covers roots to ends for a complete color change or when the lengths have faded significantly. This is different from a retouch — it's a full-head application.
Virgin tint (starting at $70) is a first-time all-over color service for hair with no previous chemical history. Because virgin hair processes predictably, the results are typically clean and even.
Lightening and Blonding
Lightener retouch (starting at $115) lifts only the root area on previously lightened hair — the blonde equivalent of a tint retouch. Most platinum and blonde clients schedule this every 4 to 8 weeks.
Virgin lightener (starting at $135) takes uncolored hair to full-coverage blonde in a single service. It's the most intensive color process we offer and requires a thorough consultation beforehand.
Dimension and Tone
Toner (starting at $60) neutralizes brassiness in lightened hair and adds visible shine. It's often added at the end of a highlight appointment but can also be booked as a standalone service between larger color appointments.
Balayage (view pricing) is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates a soft, grown-out dimensional look. Because there are no visible regrowth lines, it's more forgiving on maintenance scheduling than foil highlights — most clients return every 10 to 14 weeks.
Partial highlights (view service) apply foil color to targeted sections — typically the top layer and face-framing pieces — for a brightening effect without a full-head commitment.
Full highlights add dimension across the entire head for a more uniform lightened effect. We also offer combination services like tint with partial highlights and tint with full highlights that build a solid base color and layered dimension in a single appointment.
Specialty Color
Ombre (starting at $135) creates a deliberate gradient from darker roots to lighter ends. It's designed for clients who want a high-impact look with minimal root maintenance.
Fashion shades (starting at $80) are vivid, non-natural tones — purples, blues, greens, pinks — that require a pre-lightened base to show up with full intensity. Colorado's high-altitude UV exposure makes fashion shades fade faster than in lower-altitude climates; plan for more frequent toner or color refresh appointments.
Men's color (starting at $55) covers grey or adds depth and dimension in a focused service designed for men's styling needs.

Hair Treatments: Repair, Strength, and Long-Term Health
Treatments address the internal structure of the hair shaft — the protein and moisture balance that chemical services, heat styling, and Colorado's climate all disrupt over time. At Burman & Co, we use professional-grade treatment services that go beyond what at-home masks can deliver.
Keratin Treatment
A keratin treatment is the most comprehensive smoothing and conditioning service we offer. Keratin protein is infused into the hair shaft, the cuticle is sealed, and the result is smoother, more manageable hair that resists frizz and humidity for 3 to 5 months.
In Colorado, where dry air constantly pulls moisture from the hair, keratin treatments are consistently one of our most requested services. Clients notice reduced blow-dry time, less frizz year-round, and significantly easier daily styling throughout the treatment window. It works on all hair types — straight, wavy, curly — and is particularly effective for hair that's been color-processed or heat-styled regularly.
Bond Pro Treatment
A bond pro treatment works at the molecular level to rebuild the disulfide bonds that chemical services — lightening especially — break down. It's not a surface conditioning treatment; it restores the internal structure that keeps hair strong and resistant to breakage.
If you get highlights, balayage, lightener retouch appointments, or any form of bleach work regularly, adding a bond treatment to your color appointments is one of the highest-value investments you can make in your hair's long-term health. Many clients add it as a standard part of every color visit.
Deep Conditioning Treatment
A deep conditioning treatment replenishes moisture and protein in dry, stressed, or over-processed hair. It's more intensive than at-home masks and is applied under professional conditions that allow deeper penetration into the hair shaft.
If your hair feels brittle, snaps easily at the ends, or has lost its elasticity, a deep conditioning treatment restores softness and flexibility. Most clients schedule one every 4 to 8 weeks depending on how processed their hair is.

Hair Extensions: Length, Volume, and Density
Extensions are the right solution when you want to add length, volume, or density that isn't achievable with your current hair — or when growing out a previous cut is taking too long.
The process at Burman & Co starts with an extensions consultation to assess your hair's current condition, determine the right method and quantity of extensions, and confirm the maintenance schedule. Extensions applied to hair that isn't healthy enough to support them will cause damage; the consultation step is what prevents that.
We also offer extensions adjustment appointments for maintenance as your natural hair grows, and extensions removal when you're ready to transition out. Extensions require a structured maintenance schedule — plan for regular adjustment appointments to keep them looking natural and to protect your own hair throughout the process.

Styling Services: Blowouts, Special Occasions, and Beyond
Styling services at Burman & Co cover everything from everyday blowouts to special occasion looks.
Style out is a professional blowout service — a wash, dry, and finish that gives you a polished result with the right technique for your hair type. It's a practical service for clients who want professional-quality results without the at-home effort.
Hot tool service includes styling with flat irons, curling irons, or wands to create a finished look. This is a good option when you have an event coming up or want a specific texture or wave pattern you can't easily replicate at home.
Specialty style covers more complex styled looks — updos, formal styles, and event-specific requests that require additional time and technique.
Braiding services and chemical styling are also available for clients who want specific texture or structure work.
Perms: Texture and Structure
Perms add wave or curl structure to hair that's naturally straight or has minimal natural texture. At Burman & Co, we offer both basic perm and spiral perm options depending on the curl pattern and body you're looking for.
Perms are a chemical service and require a consultation before booking — the right formula depends heavily on your hair's current condition, previous chemical history, and the result you want. A perm on compromised or over-processed hair will cause damage; the consultation ensures your hair is in the right condition to proceed.
Waxing: Clean Finishing Details
Eyebrow waxing and lip waxing are available as add-on or standalone services. Clean brow shaping is the detail that often makes the biggest difference in how a finished look comes together — it's worth adding to a cut or color appointment rather than treating it as an afterthought.
How to Build a Professional Hair Care Routine
The most common mistake clients make is booking appointments only when their hair reaches a problem state — too much breakage, color that's completely faded, frizz that won't respond to products. Reactive maintenance is more expensive and more damaging than a proactive schedule.
Here's a general framework based on hair type and service mix:
Color clients:
- Tint retouch or lightener retouch: every 4 to 6 weeks
- Highlights or balayage refresh: every 8 to 14 weeks (balayage is more forgiving)
- Toner or gloss refresh: every 4 to 6 weeks for cool-toned looks
- Bond or deep conditioning treatment: every 4 to 8 weeks alongside color
Non-color clients:
- Haircut: every 6 to 8 weeks for short styles; every 8 to 12 weeks for longer styles
- Conditioning treatment: every 6 to 8 weeks if hair is heat-styled regularly
- Keratin treatment: every 3 to 5 months depending on how long results hold
Extensions clients:
- Adjustment appointments: on a schedule set at your initial consultation (typically every 6 to 8 weeks)
- Bond treatment: at every adjustment appointment to protect natural hair integrity

Why Colorado's Climate Demands Professional Attention
Colorado has one of the most hair-challenging climates in the country. Low humidity draws moisture from the hair shaft constantly. High-altitude UV exposure is intense year-round — not just in summer. And hard water in many Front Range communities deposits minerals that dull color and increase porosity over time.
These aren't problems that respond to standard advice developed for lower-altitude, more humid climates. Clients who move to Colorado from the East Coast or Pacific Northwest typically notice within weeks that their old routines no longer work.
At Burman & Co, our recommendations are built around Front Range conditions specifically — from the products we recommend for at-home use to the timing and frequency of treatment services. Keratin treatments, bond pro treatments, and regular conditioning work are more important here than they are in more forgiving climates.
