Services

Innovative Color. Precision Cuts. Flawless Results.

Please note:

All services include a wash and blowdry unless otherwise specified. It is not recommended you opt out of these, as we firmly believe a service is incomplete unless we can see the result dried and styled and appropriate texturizing techniques are put in place to allow the style to be replicated at home. This also allows us to see the final tones and coverage of color processes.

All prices are starting prices with the lowest level stylist in the salon. Seeing a more experienced stylist will reflect a higher price. If a service takes more time to complete due to hair length or thickness the service will be upcharged. We take the time needed to complete each and every service with care, precision and professionalism! We value quality over quantity. If more product, color or lightener is needed to complete your service, the additional amount will be specified in your final bill at checkout on a precise gram by product basis as calculated by our innovative AI measuring system.

We back our services 100%! If you are dissatisfied with a service, you have ten days from the date of service to let us know and we will be happy to bring you in to adjust the result, free of charge. We do not give refunds for services in the salon.

First time color clients require a complimentary consultation for appropriate booking. This allows the client to get a good idea of the time needed as well as the general cost of a service. It also allows the stylist to explain proper maintenance of styles and colors to ensure it fits into your lifestyle!

Any service that is booked for over one hour will require a 50% deposit. This deposit will be applied at checkout towards the final bill. If you cancel with less than 24 hours 50% of the deposit will be forfeited and not transferred to your new service date. Failure to show up results in the deposit being non refundable and ensures the stylist and salon can be compensated for the lost time. Thank you for your understanding.

We proudly use Pulp Riot and RedKen for color in our salon.
