— Three transformations

Color that actually shows up.

Ombre isn't subtle. It's a deliberate gradient — usually darker root to lighter ends, or the reverse — that announces itself the moment you walk into a room.

Bold fashion color goes further. Pinks, blues, lavenders, copper, peach — anything outside the natural spectrum. These services require multiple sessions for previously-dark hair (we lift first, deposit second) and serious commitment to maintenance.

Both services require an in-person consultation before booking. We need to assess your hair's current state, talk through the maintenance commitment, and quote you a realistic plan.

Three levels of color drama.

From subtle gradient to vivid statement — pick the commitment that matches your goal.

Book

Bold fashion color always requires an in-person consultation before booking. Pricing varies dramatically by hair history and desired color.

What to expect.

Ombre and fashion color have longer first appointments and more involved consultations than classic color.

01

Consultation

In-person assessment of your hair condition, history, and color goal. We discuss whether your goal is achievable in one session or requires staging.

02

Lift (if needed)

For fashion color or going lighter on dark hair, we lift first using bond-protected lightener. May take 1-2 hours depending on starting level.

03

Deposit & Finish

Custom color mixed to your exact target, applied, processed, and toned. Finishing style + at-home maintenance walkthrough before you leave.

— High-impact color

Worth doing right, or not at all.

Bold color is high-impact. A great fashion color makes you the most interesting person in every room. A bad one makes you the cautionary tale your friends tell at brunch.

The difference is in the lift, the deposit, and the maintenance plan. We don't rush bold color services. We don't cut corners on the underlying lift. And we don't book a fashion color without a real consultation first — because the difference between a $300 success and a $700 correction is honest planning at the start.

Questions guests ask.

Ombre is a gradient color technique — typically darker roots fading to lighter ends. It creates a low-maintenance, dimensional look with no harsh regrowth line.
Classic ombre and reverse ombre start at $160. Bold fashion color (pinks, blues, vivids) starts at $300, with final pricing quoted at consultation based on your hair's starting condition.
Fashion colors fade faster than natural-spectrum colors — typically 4-8 weeks depending on the specific dye, your hair porosity, and your washing habits. We send every fashion color guest home with a maintenance protocol to maximize tone life.
Yes — every fashion color guest must book a 30-minute consultation before the actual service. We need to see your hair, ask about your history, and write a realistic plan. The consultation is applied to your service if you proceed.
Often yes, but it usually requires multiple sessions. We need to lift your existing color to a level light enough to deposit the new color over. Your consultation will plan how many sessions and what to expect.
Going from dark to bright is more aggressive than other color services because of the lift required. We use bond-builder in every fashion color service and may recommend pre-treatment with strengthening services for fragile hair.
Classic and reverse ombre: 2.5 hours. Bold fashion color first appointment: 4-6 hours. Subsequent fashion color refreshes: 2-3 hours.
Ombre is a horizontal gradient (darker top to lighter bottom). Balayage is hand-painted placement of dimension throughout the hair — not necessarily in a gradient pattern. You can also combine them: balayage placement with an ombre base.
