$122 – $138

Roots to Ends Color is a full application from root to tip, giving every strand the same fresh, even shade. This covers the whole length of the hair, so it's the right service for guests who want complete gray coverage, a noticeable color change, or faded ends brought back in line with a grown-out root.

Before any color is mixed, your stylist sits down with you to talk through what you want. The formula is chosen for your specific hair, and the application is worked through from root to ends so color develops consistently. You leave with a result that looks polished and intentional, not like two different colors fighting each other.

Color applied to the full length also holds up better over time. With the right formula and a little maintenance at home, it stays truer between visits, even with the kind of sun and humidity that can pull warmth and depth out of hair fast.

Prep

Before your appointment

  • Come with hair that's unwashed for one to two days, a little natural oil protects the scalp during processing
  • Wear or bring a top you don't mind getting color near
  • Have a photo or two on your phone if you have a specific shade in mind
  • Let your stylist know about any recent chemical services, including straightening or perms
Aftercare

Keeping the result

  • Wait at least 48 hours before shampooing to let the color fully set
  • Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to keep the shade looking fresh longer
  • Rinse with cool water when you can, heat opens the cuticle and pulls color out faster
  • A UV-protectant hair product helps guard color against sun exposure between visits

Book Roots to Ends Color

Roots to ends color covers the full length of your hair in one appointment, so the result reads consistent from scalp to tip rather than fading into something patchier toward the ends. At Olivia Lane Salon, the service runs about two hours, giving your stylist the time to apply and process color carefully across the whole strand. It's a good fit for covering gray, refreshing a flat or faded shade, or correcting tone that's shifted unevenly between visits.

Color applied all the way through can be a little more demanding on the hair, so keeping up with a hydrating, sulfate-free routine at home helps the result last. On Florida's Gulf Coast, sun exposure alone can pull warmth out of color quickly, so a UV-protective leave-in or a color-depositing conditioner used between appointments makes a real difference in how long the shade holds.
