About

Color work is priced by service and by the hour. Color consultations start at $50 and cover hair history, goals and budget, and most color projects need a test strand first. Partial highlights start at $220 with a three-hour minimum, and full highlight or balayage work starts at $500. Platinum work is billed at $120 per hour and needs a consultation before booking. Color correction for permanent color, box color and stains is $140 per hour, with a consultation and deposit required. Vivid transformation work is listed at $450, with the price depending on density, length and starting canvas. A color remover can be added to any service. Pricing is based on a $130 hourly rate that includes the supplies used, which the business describes as firm. For color bookings in that bracket, no gratuity is added and tipping is optional.

Cuts range from a $65 short fade to a $140 curly cut or transformation cut that can take more than one session. Cut consultations are free and last 25 minutes. Treatments include an Olaplex curl treatment, a CBD Mender molecular treatment that the business says lasts up to 10 washes, a scalp detox and a B3 Brazilian bond building treatment. Weft extensions are offered as an option for clients who are sensitive to bleaching. Makeup covers trials, full glam for bridal and events, and special effects work including prosthetics and body painting, which is by consultation only. On-location makeup carries travel fees and requires a consultation first.

Free parking is in the lot. The studio offers Wi-Fi, complimentary drinks and snacks, and a TV. Wheelchair accessibility is listed as no. Clients are asked not to bring guests, except a child under 18 who is receiving a service. The studio is listed as kid friendly with a 16+ label. It may decline future bookings from clients who no-call, no-show. Accepted payments include Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Venmo, Zelle and cash, and Klarna, Afterpay and Affirm are accepted on qualifying orders.

Offers a personalized, self-expressive service shaped to each client's features and personality, the studio says.
