Consultation and color planning
We begin with a focused consultation to assess your natural hair, color history, lifestyle and goals. That conversation determines placement, the amount of blending needed, and an appointment window that suits busy Portland schedules—early mornings, lunchtimes or evenings—to fit around commutes on I‑84, MAX light rail or local bus routes.
Allover color is formulated during that consultation to blend your natural hair with the installed pieces. Pricing varies by scope and customization, so note the baseline: Starting at $350. We factor color depth, coverage and blending time into the plan to avoid surprises while keeping results cohesive and wearable.
Installation and blending considerations
Installation focuses on secure, comfortable placement and a visual assessment of how the new lengths sit with your cut. The full appointment is booked to allow careful work and finishing—expect the scheduled time to be approximately 210 minutes, which includes color processing, installation and initial styling checks.
During blending and styling we assess movement, face shape and everyday wearability so the finished look transitions well between work and events. If you plan to attend a nearby show at the Moda Center or have a wedding timeline, let us know when booking so we can prioritize the desired finish.
Local factors and maintenance
Portland’s Pacific Northwest climate—frequent rain and humidity from fall through spring—affects styling choices and how color may read outdoors. We discuss realistic maintenance rhythms and seasonal adjustments; clients from Gresham, Beaverton, Lake Oswego or Vancouver often book follow-up visits for tone refreshes and alignment checks.
Our Kerns location near the Irvington district and easy access via I‑84 and MAX makes drop‑by logistics straightforward for commuters and families. Plan for an appointment window that accommodates transit times and bring clean, dry hair plus any reference photos to help your stylist match color and shape efficiently.
