FAQ
Transparent Pricing
Until now we have not included the actual cost of professional color in our pricing. As product quality, formulation, and costs have significantly increased, we can no longer absorb those expenses while maintaining the level of work and consistency we promise our guests.
Beginning March 1st, our pricing will now include the professional products required for your service.
With transparent pricing, your visit will be made up of two parts:
-
The service charge
-
The exact amount of product used on your hair
This change allows us to stay fair, consistent, and continue delivering beautiful, high-end results without compromising quality.
Your hair health and overall experience will always be our top priority.
Thank you for continuing to support Salon Halcyon. We appreciate every single one of you and are so grateful to serve this amazing community.

Why is there a color fee at checkout?
At Salon Halcyon, we believe in transparent and fair pricing for all of our guests. Because every guest’s hair is different—length, density, and the type of service—it can require different amounts of color. Instead of raising the base price of all color services, we charge a small color fee based only on the amount of product used during your appointment. This allows guests with shorter or less dense hair to avoid paying for color they don’t need.
+
What does the color fee cover?
The color fee goes directly to Salon Halcyon to help cover the cost of professional color products, bowls, brushes, foils, gloves, and other materials used during your service. This helps us continue to provide high-quality, professional products and services while keeping our pricing transparent.

Will my stylist tell me if more color is needed?
Yes! Our stylists always prioritize communication and transparency. If your service requires additional product, your stylist will ensure the results meet your goals while keeping you informed.
+
Does this change my stylist’s pricing?
No. Your stylist’s service pricing remains the same. The color fee simply reflects the actual color product used during your appointment.
+
How much is the color fee?
The color fee typically ranges from $6–$15, depending on how much color is used during your service. Your stylist will only use what is necessary to achieve your desired result.
+
Does the color fee apply to every service?
No. The color fee only applies to color services such as highlights, balayage, all-over color, outgrowth, men's grey blending or glossing services.
+
Why doesn’t the color cost just get included in the service price?
Because every guest requires a different amount of color. Including it in the base price would mean everyone pays the same, even if their service requires significantly less product. Our approach allows for fair and customized pricing.
+
Does it apply to haircuts or blowouts?
No. Haircuts, blowouts, and styling services do not have a color fee.
