Services
Find Your Perfect Color
Every color service includes a consultation and toner. Results vary by starting level and hair condition—your stylist will walk you through realistic expectations before we begin.
Balayage
Soft, sun-kissed dimension
Hand-painted highlights freehand onto the hair for a natural, blended look with no harsh lines. Balayage grows out seamlessly—most clients can go 12–16 weeks between appointments. Ideal for natural brunettes, blondes, and anyone who wants low-maintenance dimension.
Starting at $175 • ~2.5–3 hrs
Highlights & Partial Highlights
Classic brightness, modern placement
Foil highlights placed strategically to frame the face and add brightness throughout. Partial highlights target the top section and crown for a lighter, faster service. Full highlights deliver all-over dimension from roots to ends. Both work beautifully on their own or layered over a base color.
Starting at $145 • ~2–2.5 hrs
Single Process Color
All-over coverage & richness
A single color applied root to end for full coverage, vibrancy, or a darker refresh. Perfect for covering grays, deepening your natural shade, or making a bold change. We use professional color lines that protect hair integrity and keep your tone true between visits.
Starting at $95 • ~1.5 hrs
Root Touch-Up
Seamless between appointments
A precise root application that blends perfectly with your existing color—whether you have a solid color, highlights, or balayage. We match your current formula and feather the application for a natural grow-out. Often paired with a gloss for extra shine and longevity.
Starting at $85 • ~1–1.5 hrs
Toner & Gloss
Tone, shine, and longevity
A demi-permanent gloss applied after any lightening service to refine your tone, eliminate brassiness, and add mirror shine. Toners can shift warm to cool, add depth, or neutralize unwanted yellow and orange. We include a toner with all highlight and balayage services.
Starting at $55 • ~45 min
Color Correction
Expert multi-session rebuilds
Reversing damage from box dye, fixing uneven tones, or lightening hair that’s been over-processed requires a careful, multi-step approach. Color corrections are assessed individually—pricing and timing depend on your starting point and end goal. Book a consultation first.

Common Questions
Hair Color FAQs
How much does hair color cost at Echelon Salon?
Pricing depends on the service: single process color starts at $95, highlights and partial highlights start at $145, and balayage starts at $175. Color corrections are priced after a consultation. All pricing is discussed and agreed on before any service begins.
How long does a hair color appointment take?
It depends on the service. A root touch-up takes about 1–1.5 hours, full highlights run 2–2.5 hours, and balayage typically takes 2.5–3 hours including toner and blowout. Color corrections vary widely. Your stylist will give you a time estimate at your consultation.
Should I wash my hair before a color appointment?
We recommend coming in with hair that’s been washed within the last 24–48 hours—not freshly washed the same day. Natural oils help protect your scalp during lightening. Avoid heavy styling products before your appointment.
How often do I need to come in for color maintenance?
Balayage clients typically come in every 12–16 weeks because the grow-out is designed to look intentional. Highlight clients usually return every 8–10 weeks. Single process color clients often come in every 6–8 weeks. Your stylist will recommend a schedule based on your specific look.
