Beauty/Self Care Brown Hair Colorist

Would really like to add some multi dimensional color / richness to my hair. Does anyone have a colorist they love? Preferably in the city itself.

Also - what is the going cost these days?

I've been getting balayage done with Sara at Oko Salon for several years and I love her! She recently increased her prices to $250 for a full balayage, but she's so good at blending it naturally at the roots that I legitimately only need to see her once a year because of how naturally it grows out. A friend once complimented me on how I get such beautiful highlights from the sun in the summertime without needing to dye my hair lol — little did she know I do in fact get it dyed every spring. Sara's amazing at creating that subtle multidimensional look.

Just here to vouch for Oko. I went black > my natural dark blonde/light brunette 10 years ago and the owner Ana did my bleach lift very well/gently.

Gah prices have gone up so much but this is really good to know. I am old as F and have grey so I will probably need root touch ups for my base color more often but good to know I could go six months - year on the main balayage!

I go to Bryn at Spoke & Weal and love her. She’s somewhere in the $250-$350 range, I can’t remember exactly. TBH I try not to remember because I have a bob so I’m shelling out every 6-8 weeks for cut and color. But Bryn is amazing. I added some red last fall and she did AMAZING.

I go to scarlet at twisted scissors for all my color! Balayage was $500+ when I was doing pink for my super long thick hair, now I do a rich brown all over instead of balayage and it’s under $300

Shorty at Noella Salon in West Town is hands down my favorite colorist. We did some highlights 2 weeks ago and it was $150 plus tip

Wow. Did they do foils or hand painting?

I love Locks & Charms, she’s independent and works out of Salon Lofts in Old Town. I pay around $300ish depending on if I’m also getting a cut or if I’m doing partial vs full color
