Services

Our pricing reflects starting points and may vary with the time and artistry it takes to achieve your desired results.

  • $366

    Designed for guests who want to go lighter with a bright, dimensional blonde.

    This service includes a fully customized, blonding application—whether through highlights, balayage, or a dimensional blend—tailored to your starting point and hair goals.

    Ideal for new guests exploring blonde or existing blondes ready for a noticeable refresh.

    Depending on your current color and hair history, multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve your desired result while maintaining hair health.

  • $318

    Designed for guests who want soft, dimensional color with a natural, lived-in finish.

    This session is ideal for maintaining an existing look, adding dimension, or creating a subtle lightening effect without going as bright as a full blonding service.

    Your stylist will personalize the application—whether through foils, balayage, or a blended approach—based on your starting point and long-term color goals.

    Perfect for guests who love effortless dimension and lower-maintenance results.

  • $222

    A lightening-focused maintenance session to refresh & maintain existing dimensional color.

    This service typically targets smaller areas—such as around the hairline or select sections—to add a subtle pop of brightness and revive your overall look.

    Placement is fully customized based on your current color and goals, making this an ideal in-between lightening service for guests who want to stay polished without a big lightening session.

  • $222

    Designed for guests who love a rich, solid color or need consistent gray coverage.

    This service focuses on refreshing your existing shade to keep hair looking polished, youthful, and even from root to ends.

    This session does not include lightening and is best for maintaining depth, tone, and coverage.

  • $174

    A maintenance-focused color service that refines tone and boosts shine between larger color appointments.

    Ideal for neutralizing unwanted tones—like brassiness in blonde hair—or refreshing solid color without lightening.

    Glossing can also be used to subtly deepen or soften your overall tone for a richer, more polished finish.

  • $248

    Our favorite maintenance appointment for keeping your hair looking polished between larger color services.

    This session combines a Custom Glossing Session, bond-building conditioning treatment, and a Signature Haircut—all in one visit.

    Perfect for refreshing tone, strengthening your hair, and cleaning up your shape without committing to a full color appointment.

    Ideal for guests who want their hair to look consistently great and well-maintained year-round.

  • $576+

    Transformational Color

    Designed for guests seeking a major change in their hair color, such as going significantly lighter or darker, or making a dramatic tonal shift.

    These services require advanced planning, extended appointment time, and a customized approach to ensure your hair remains healthy throughout the process.

    Color Correction

    Best for addressing previous color results that need adjustment—whether from at-home color or another salon experience.

    Color correction services are highly individualized and may take multiple sessions to achieve the desired result safely and effectively.

    All transformational and corrective color services require an in-salon consultation and deposit prior to booking. All deposits are non-refundable & non-transferrable.

    During your consultation, your stylist will assess your hair, align expectations, outline timing and investment, and may require a strand test to protect the integrity of your hair.

  • Our Signature Haircuts are timed to ensure your stylist has the space to consult, execute, and finish your cut with intention. Choosing the right appointment length helps ensure the best result.

    • A pampering wash and conditioning experience, with a nourishing scalp massage and hot or cold lavender eye pillow

    • A custom haircut tailored to your preferences

    75-Minute Signature Haircut — $130

    Best for long or thick hair, major shape changes, or guests who want extra time for detailing and customization.

  • Blowout — $78

    A relaxing wash and customized blow-dry designed to leave your hair polished, effortless, and beautifully styled.

    Perfect for guests who want great hair and a moment to truly unwind.

    Blowout with Iron Work — $104

    A relaxing wash and signature blowout followed by additional styling with curling or flat irons for added texture, waves, or a more finished look.

    For our styling sessions: additional time and investment may be required for long, thick, or extra-dense hair to ensure the best result.

  • $174

    A deeply restorative, spa-level conditioning experience designed to nourish both the scalp and hair from root to ends.

    This service begins with a detoxifying shampoo ritual, followed by a steamed conditioning treatment customized to your hair and scalp needs, and is finished with a polished blowout.

    Unlike traditional conditioning treatments, our Hair & Scalp Facial is intentionally slow and immersive—helping improve hydration, softness, and overall hair health while offering one of the most relaxing experiences in the salon.

    Ideal for guests seeking noticeable conditioning results, stress relief, and a truly elevated treatment experience.

  • $576+

    A formaldehyde-free smoothing treatment designed to reduce frizz, improve manageability, and simplify styling at home.

    This service is fully customizable and can be tailored for subtle smoothing, frizz control, or overall texture refinement, with results lasting up to four months.

    Ideal for guests with unruly, frizz-prone, or hard-to-manage hair who want hair that styles faster, smoother, and more predictably day to day.

    An in-person consultation and non-refundable, non-transferable deposit are required prior to booking to ensure the treatment is customized to your hair type, goals, and maintenance needs.

FOR COLOR GUESTS: Please expect a 2-3 week lead time for Evenings or Friday / Saturday color appointments.
