Facials

No need to worry about all the little details or what to book or what your hair needs. We'll take care of your tresses from beginning to end whether it's a root retouch with balayage, toning & deep conditioning or multi-dimensional color with the latest techniques. Whatever you need we'll do it for a flat hourly rate that includes our time & any product used because we don't want you to have to worry about all the little things.
(You'll just be charged the hourly rate & we'll round off to the next 15 minute increment & prorate from there. So, for example, if your session is 1 hour 7 minutes, we'll charge you for 1 hour 15 minutes. Timing begins at the start of the color service after the hair consultation is complete & when we start mixing up your color. If you're just receiving the color service, the timing ends when your hair is dry & fully styled. If you're receiving a haircut with your color service, the timing ends after you are shampooed & when the cut begins.)
