A root touch-up every 4 to 6 weeks keeps colour looking fresh and is the cheapest colour appointment. A toner refreshes the mid-lengths and ends at the same time for a small extra, a worthwhile add between full colours.
💰 Ways to save
- A suburban salon is often half the price of a city salon for the same service, worth it for routine treatments.
- Junior or apprentice stylists (supervised) cost less and are fine for simpler work.
- Book maintenance treatments on a regular cycle, many salons offer a small loyalty or package discount.
