Your roots are showing and you are not sure whether to book a quick touch-up or go all in on full color. Here is how our stylists help guests choose the right hair color service in Longwood, FL, so you pay for what your hair actually needs.
The short answer
Choose a root touch-up when you are happy with your current color and only the new growth at the scalp needs matching. Choose full color when you want a new shade, your ends have faded or turned brassy, or your color looks uneven from root to tip. At Victoria Edward Spa, a root touch-up is $60 and full color is $65 to $85.
When a root touch-up is the right call
- You love your color and just see regrowth at the part and hairline
- You want to keep gray coverage fresh between bigger appointments
- Your lengths still look rich and even
A touch-up colors only the new growth, which keeps your lengths from being processed again and again. That is gentler on your hair over time.
When full color makes more sense
- You want a different shade, warmer or cooler, lighter or deeper
- Your ends look faded, dull or brassy compared with your roots
- Color has built up unevenly and you want one consistent tone
Full color is applied from root to ends, so the whole head matches. Your stylist will check the condition of your hair first and recommend what it can handle.
The in-between option: a color gloss
If your roots are fine but your lengths look tired, a color gloss ($55) can refresh tone and shine without a full color service. Many guests pair a root touch-up with a gloss to brighten everything at once.
How often should you book?
It depends on how fast your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your natural color and your shade. Bigger contrast, like covering gray, usually shows regrowth sooner. Your stylist can suggest a rhythm that fits your hair and budget.
Thinking about dimension instead?
If you are ready for something softer to grow out, balayage or highlights may suit you better. See our guide to balayage vs. highlights and our full hair services menu.
