Service Rate + Product Pricing

At The Co-Artist Studio, we believe in transparent, personalized pricing so you only pay for what your hair truly needs.

  • Service Rate (Labor): This covers your stylist’s time, skill, and artistry. It reflects the years of training, experience, and attention to detail that go into creating your look. Longer or more complex services may require more time, which is factored into the service rate.

  • Product Investment: This is a separate charge based on the exact amount of lightener, color, gloss, and treatments used for your hair. Because every head of hair is unique in length, thickness, and color history, product usage can vary.

  • Product charges typically range from $20–$100, ensuring fairness you’re never overpaying for product you don’t need.

FAQs

  • Arrive with clean, dry hair (no heavy oils or styling products). Bring inspo photos and your color history so we can customize your formula.

  • Grey Blending uses a demi-permanent, ammonia-free formula to softly blend greys (up to ~70% coverage) with a natural grow-out. Grey Full Coverage is a permanent root touch-up designed for up to 100% coverage and a uniform, polished result.

    • Grey Blending & Gloss: every 6–8 weeks

    • Grey Full Coverage & Gloss: every 3–4 weeks

    • Gloss / Glaze / Toner: every 4–6 weeks

    • All Over Color: every 6–8 weeks

  • Yes. We offer both with and without ammonia. Tell your stylist your preference during consultation.

  • With Grey Full Coverage, a line of demarcation (the point where your natural color meets the new growth) can appear as the hair grows in. Booking touch-ups every 3–4 weeks helps maintain a seamless, polished result with minimal visible regrowth.

  • Most color services take about 1.5 hours. If your hair is longer, thicker, or requires more product and processing time, your appointment may run a bit longer. Your stylist will give you a more accurate estimate during consultation.

  • Our service rate reflects stylist time & artistry. Product is a separate, usage-based charge so you only pay for what your hair actually needs.
