Hair color — FAQ
How much does hair color cost?
Across 164 US salon menus we've collected, hair color runs $50–$145 at most places, with a median of $85. The full spread is $5 to $300 — the low end is usually a junior stylist or a partial service, the high end a senior provider in a high-cost metro.
Where is hair color cheapest?
Across the 20 cities where we hold menus from more than one salon, Chesapeake, VA has the lowest median at $30 and Hewlett, NY the highest at $299. These are small samples — 2 and 2 salons respectively — so treat them as a sighting shot, not a market average. The table above has the rest.
Are these prices what I'll actually pay?
They're list prices from providers' own published menus, not quotes. Expect the final figure to move with length, density, add-ons and who's in the chair, and expect tip on top. Booking direct with a provider is the only way to get a firm number — the book links on this page go straight to their own scheduling.
