About

Base Salon began in 2016 as a solo venture run by owner Krysta Rojas and has since grown into a team of stylists. The salon says its goal is to pair excellent hair with a memorable experience.

The salon describes its feel as refined but relaxed, without pretense. It says its clients include busy working professionals, stay-at-home mothers and Pilates enthusiasts, along with their children and husbands.

Haircuts at Base Salon are priced from $93 for women and from $60 for children under 7, with the children's price depending on length and texture. Men's haircuts are offered, though the price is not listed. Bang trims start at $25 and neck cleanups at $20. Color services include gray coverage, balayage and full-color transformations, and every color service includes a blowout. Color correction is priced at $165 or more per hour, and color services that run over four hours carry a 20% gratuity.

Extensions are offered in tape-in, beaded row, hand-tied and K-tip methods. The salon works exclusively with Stitched extensions, a hair line created by Krysta Rojas, and says it uses only high-quality, ethically sourced hair. Tape-ins are $60 per sandwich, reapplication is $20 per sandwich without a blowout, and clip-ins are $20 per weft.

Bridal parties are booked by emailing the salon. Bridal day-of styling needs completely dry hair, and a blowout is not included in bridal prices. Bridal In-Salon starts at $180 and Bridal Travel is $230. Bridal makeup options include a day-of service at $150 in the salon, airbrush makeup at $220 and temporary lashes from $25.

The salon describes its goal as pairing excellent hair with a memorable experience. Haircuts open with a consultation on preferences, face shape and hair texture, then a shampoo with scalp massage and a blow-dry.

The salon describes its experience as refined but relaxed, without pretense.
