Understanding the double process
Fashion Color at Hair Inc is a creative, two-step service often called a double process. Because color and tone are applied in separate stages, appointments require dedicated time and precision; this service is longer than typical color services and is scheduled to allow for careful color placement and development. Appointments are listed at 260 MINUTES.
The extra time lets your stylist work to the vibrancy and placement you want while consulting throughout the appointment. Customers consistently value being listened to, not rushed, and seeing colors that reflect their direction—whether a honey blonde transition or a bold fashion shade—so planning and patience are part of the method.
In-depth consultation and planning
Your consultation evaluates hair history, lifestyle and event timing so the result fits your daily routine. We discuss maintenance, color intensity, and scheduling options—our evening and weekend availability is useful for shift workers and busy families. Bakersfield clients often combine appointments with local errands near Highway 99 or stops at the Fox Theater.
Pricing for Fashion Color ranges from $185 - $400 and reflects color complexity, length and time in the chair. Because this is often a double process, results may take longer and sometimes require more time for saturation and blending. We'll give you a clear plan and time estimate during your consultation.
Aftercare, climate and commuting
Maintaining fashion colors in Bakersfield's hot, dry summers requires protecting color from sun and dust exposure; occasional poor air quality can increase the need for cleansing and gentle care. We recommend scheduling regular refresh appointments and discussing at-home routines during consultation so you can preserve vibrancy between salon visits.
Our Downtown Bakersfield location has ample parking and a small-shop atmosphere that many clients value over larger salons. It's easy to reach from Highway 99 for commuters, and the salon is handy before or after events at the Fox Theater or the nearby transit hub. Evening and weekend slots help busy schedules.
