All textures. All colors. All genders. All are welcome here.


  • Blonding can range from 2.5-8 hours depending on the goal and starting canvas.
    • This is ANYTHING that requires being lighter, that isn’t a vivid.
    • Foil, balayage, platinum card, or lived-in blonde techniques: custom toning, Bond builder included, Blowout and style️: $225+
  • Mermaid Hair and corrections regularly range from 3-8 hours. Mermaid hair typically requires blonding first and has longer application time; hence the added time.
    • custom vivid/creative color placement, includes custom formulation, vivid color melting, or fantasy placement, bond-building treatment, blowout & style: $300+
    • 🧜‍♀️ Vivids Refresh: For existing vivid clients wanting a color refresh on pre-lightened hair, includes gloss or direct dye refresh, bond builder, blowout — $150+
    • a “correction” just means the hair is not “correct” for the next goal to be achievable in one step.
  • Extension installs can range from 1-3 hours, and Reinstalls 2-5 hours depending on type etc and does Not include the price of hair, or color prep. $200+
    • Move-ups for beads are scheduled at the half way mark (3/4 week) at $35 as an incentive to maintain.
  • HAIRCUTS are booked by length, not gender (pricing differences listed in booking link)
    • There is no “trim,” only Haircuts. $35+/65+
  • Braiding is priced per situation and anything booked online is a place holder, not a firm price.

****Unless you specifically request; and agree to pay a minimum of 8 hours for a dedicated uninterrupted, appointment day. … ( I don’t expect anyone to actually do this… )⬇️

I will *sometimes* be starting other clients during processing times on appointments beyond 3+ hours.

Otherwise, there’s just no way I could keep prices affordable or get you all in fairly! In these situations after 3+ hours we are out of bleach timing and have other, safe processes to perform to finalize the look.

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding I would never put you at risk. 💖

It is not unrealistic to need multiple sessions depending on goal and starting canvas.

Most services beyond hair cutting are priced on average @ $100/hr.

Do not hesitate to share budget concerns. There’s almost always a consideration or compromise that can be met on the way to a goal within reason.
