Color is harder to price than a haircut because it depends on your length, your starting point and how much product you need. These are published starting prices from Georgetown salons in November 2026.

|---|---|
| Gray blending | From about $47 |
| Root touch-up | About $83 to $88 |
| Full color | About $94 to $125 |
| Highlights, partial or full | About $94 to $133 and up |
| Balayage, partial or full | About $158 to $240 and up |
| Corrective color | $160+ per hour |
| Vivid color | Priced by quote, depends on lightening |

Why your quote may be higher than the starting price
A starting price assumes short hair and a simple service. Long or thick hair needs more color and more time. A full color and a haircut together can easily pass $175.
How to keep color costs down
- Ask for something that grows out softly. Fewer visits saves more than a cheaper service.
- Consider gray blending if root touch-ups have become a monthly habit.
- Be honest about what's on your hair. Surprises cost more than a good plan.
Is salon color worth it over box dye?
For a simple single color on virgin hair, box dye can work. The cost comes when it goes wrong: corrective color with Karen is $160+ per hour and can take more than one visit.
