Kristin Colorist is owned and run by Kristin, who works as the colorist. The salon concentrates on two kinds of color: soft, dimensional blondes that look lived-in, and bolder vivid transformations. The salon describes its color as expensive-looking and planned with intention, aiming for dimension and lasting wear.
Color services are organized by how much work a visit needs. A Mini Color Session of about two hours brightens the face and part line. A Signature Color Session of about three hours refreshes existing highlights or adds brightness without coloring the whole head. A Full Color Session of about four hours gives customized blonding or dimensional color across the head, and a Luxe Color Transformation of about five hours suits major changes, heavy lightening or significant color shifts. A Luxe Color Transformation may need a consultation before it is booked. Vivid color is custom-placed and blended to the client, and new vivid clients and anyone planning a major transformation are asked to book a complimentary consultation first, with pricing and time set afterward.
Other services include All Over Color for refreshing a shade, going darker, covering gray or changing tone without highlights, and a Solid Color Root Touch Up for clients who already wear all-over color. Toner and gloss services correct and personalize previously lightened hair and are applied at the shampoo bowl. K18 Molecular Repair can be added to chemical services. The salon is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and is closed Sunday and Monday. Gift cards are sold through the website, and balances can be checked online.
Color is planned around a clear purpose, with attention to depth, the way it looks in person and how well it holds up over time.
