There is no difference between a trim and a haircut. When asked if they need a haircut with their color, some clients will respond “no, I just need a trim”. We know you hate to hear this, but a “trim” that removes one quarter inch takes just as long as a haircut that removes ten inches. Sometimes it takes longer, because of the precision involved in cutting a tiny amount all around. Bang trims are different. Bang trims really do take just a few minutes and are complimentary after your haircut.

If you use high quality products (shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids) specifically designed for colored hair, your hair color should last from 4 to 8 weeks, with 5 to 6 being typical. That’s a big range, but the variance has to do with your tolerance for fading, how often you wash your hair, how hot the water is and how much you’re in the sun. Water is the main culprit, but if you use inexpensive shampoos with detergents, your hair color will simply not last as long. A cheap non-color safe shampoo can strip red in one washing. You may think we’re saying that in order to get you to buy the better stuff here, but the higher detergent drugstore type shampoos will truly strip your color quickly. Also, conditioners with a high paraffin content will bind to your color and make it wash out more quickly.

We at Local Honey provide exceptional color correction services that emphasize restoring the health of damaged hair. What does it mean to need a corrective color? Merely that something has been done to your hair that makes it necessary to involve a colorist who is truly at the top of the profession. When your hair needs corrective coloring, you want somebody that’s seen it all, knows how to fix it, and isn’t going to make it worse. You also need someone that’s going to be absolutely honest about the results you can expect. 

Like all of our services, corrective coloring is priced according to time. It typically takes longer because there are more steps involved, but some corrective color services can be done in the same amount of time as a normal color.

We love hair color, and we know many, many different ways to take you from where you are to where you want to be. Sometimes that entails highlighting your hair by weaving it and wrapping it in foils. This allows the color to be very precise. Depending on how much of your hair is highlighted and how many foils are placed, you may receive a full or partial foil. Your stylist will discuss this with you. 

Balayage is a technique in which color is literally painted onto the hair. It produces a more sun-kissed look, and the technique is used to create a more lived-in looking color. Again, a full or partial application may be necessary, depending on what you’re going for. 

We think it’s great if you come in with ideas! Trust us, we’ll choose the method that is most suitable for you.

There is a range of color pricing because there are many variables that affect our cost to perform the service. One variable is time. Longer, thicker hair takes longer. It takes more individual foils, more brush strokes and more of everything else, which adds to the time. Special effects and precise pattern placements can also take longer. Additionally, the more hair you have, the more product we use on it, and hair color is the most expensive cost we incur outside of payroll. Your service provider may adjust the price up or down to account for the unique requirements of your hair. Upon request, a quote for your color service will be provided.

A stylist’s prices are based on their industry experience and the amount of advanced education they have obtained. In general, you pay more for experience and advanced training. Feel free to request a stylist in the price range you are comfortable with.

Each of our staff understands that as hard as they try, they will not be the right fit for every client. Our guest services staff frequently suggests other service providers when the requested one is busy, and all of our service providers are okay with that. Everyone here is pretty busy, so having a guest choose another staff member doesn’t have a big financial impact on anyone. You won’t hurt anyone’s feelings when you decide to make a change and in fact, we have guests that rotate who they see, just to mix it up. Sometimes a change is what you need, and we hope that when you do make a change, you make a change of service providers within our salon, and not a change of salons. So choose who you want and don’t worry about it. Your old stylist will still talk to you, smile at you and most definitely will not be offended.
