What all-over color, highlights and balayage cost, what changes the price, and how often you'll come back.
Hair color at Tangerine starts at $85 for all-over color, $130 for highlights and $255 for balayage with a Studio stylist. Your price depends on the service and your stylist's level: all-over color runs $85 to $105, highlights $130 to $151, and balayage $255 to $345. These are starting rates. Your final price depends on your hair's length and density and the result you want, and your colorist will give you an exact quote at your consultation.
Hair color prices can be hard to compare from salon to salon. Here's a straight answer from our five Dallas–Fort Worth salons: what each color service costs by stylist level, what moves the number, and what to expect over a full year.
Hair color prices at Tangerine
Your color is done by a Studio, Senior or Master stylist. Every level is trained in the Aveda color system, and higher levels bring more years of experience. These starting prices are the same at all five salons:
| All-Over Color | Highlights | Balayage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $85 | $130 | $255–$270 |
| Senior | $95 | $140 | $255–$270 |
| Master | $105 | $151 | $345 |
All-over color covers single-process color and gray coverage. For a deeper look at balayage pricing, read our guide to how much balayage costs in Dallas–Fort Worth. The full menu is on our service menu.
What changes the price of hair color?
No two color appointments use the same amount of time or product. These are the factors that move your price within the ranges above:
Your stylist's level
You choose the level that fits your goals and budget. A Studio stylist is the most budget-friendly option, and a Master stylist brings the most years behind the chair.
Hair length and density
Longer and thicker hair takes more color, more sections and more time. Our menu prices are starting rates for exactly this reason, and your colorist will look at your hair in person before quoting.
Your starting color and the result you want
Covering gray or deepening your shade is a different service from going several shades lighter. If your hair has box dye or color from another salon, tell your colorist at the consultation so the plan and price are accurate from the start.
The technique
All-over color is applied from root to ends. Highlights use foils from the root for brighter, more uniform blonde. Balayage is painted by hand for a soft grow-out. Each takes a different amount of time, which is why each has its own price. Compare them in our Aveda color guide.
How often will you need a color appointment?
The price per visit is only half the picture. How often you come back depends on the service, so the yearly cost can look very different from the menu price.
| All-Over Color | Highlights | Balayage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How often to come back | Every 4–6 weeks | Every 6–8 weeks | Every 12–16 weeks |
| Visits per year | About 9–13 | 6–8 | 3–4 |
| Yearly cost at starting prices | About $765–$1,365 | About $780–$1,208 | About $765–$1,380 |
All-over color and gray coverage show regrowth at the root first, so they need the most frequent visits. Balayage starts soft at the root and grows out gradually, which is why it needs the fewest.
Highlights bring brightness from the root and are refreshed every 6–8 weeks
Gloss, toner and color correction
Gloss and toner
A gloss or toner refreshes your tone and adds shine without a full color service. It takes about 30 minutes and lasts 4 to 6 weeks, so many guests book one between color appointments. Read more in our guide to what a hair gloss does and how long it lasts.
Color correction
Fixing banding, brassiness or color from another salon is priced after a consultation, because every correction is different. Corrections often take more than one session, spaced 4–6 weeks apart to protect your hair, and your colorist will walk you through the timeline and price before anything begins.
Why Aveda color?
Every Tangerine salon uses Aveda hair color, which is up to 96% naturally derived and formulated to protect your hair's health and shine. Aveda's Botanical Repair™ bond-strengthening treatment is now included in every lightening service, so your hair is protected while it lightens.
- Wash with Aveda Color Conserve™. The shampoo and conditioner are made for color-treated hair and help prevent premature fading between visits.
- Book a gloss between appointments. A 30-minute refresh keeps your tone and shine on track.
- Keep up with Botanical Repair™ at home. Using it weekly helps rebuild the bonds that lightening disrupts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a consultation included?
Yes. Every color service starts with a consultation, and first-time consultations are always complimentary. Your colorist will look at your hair, talk through your goals and give you an exact quote before anything begins.
How much does gray coverage cost?
Gray coverage is part of all-over color, which starts at $85 with a Studio stylist and $105 with a Master stylist. Most guests covering gray come back every 4–6 weeks for the root.
Do you charge extra for long or thick hair?
Our menu prices are starting rates, and the final price depends on hair length, density, technique and stylist level. Long or very thick hair usually takes more time and product, so it may be priced higher. You'll know your exact price at your consultation.
Is Botanical Repair™ included?
Yes. Aveda's Botanical Repair™ bond-strengthening treatment is now included in every lightening service, including highlights and balayage, so there's no separate charge.
