About this service
What hair color includes at our Lufkin salons
Professional hair coloring at a walk-in salon includes consultation, application, processing time, shampoo, and a finishing dry. Color services span single-process all-over color (the most common request), root re-touches for color maintenance between full appointments, glaze and gloss services for tone control, and corrective color for shade changes or band removal. Pricing is typically tiered by hair length — short, medium, long, and extra long — because longer hair requires more product and processing time. Most walk-in salons offer both ammonia-based traditional formulations and lower-pH alternatives for sensitive scalps.
A typical color appointment lasts 60-120 minutes from check-in to finish. The stylist starts with a consultation about your goal shade, current color condition, and any allergies. Color is applied in sections (root area first, then mid-shaft to ends), then processed for 25-45 minutes depending on the depth shift. After processing, you'll be shampooed and conditioned, then dried and styled. Most walk-in chains will hold a color appointment for the same stylist if you call the salon directly to confirm — important for color clients, since stylist consistency matters more than for cuts.

- Wait 48 hours before the next shampoo to lock in the color
