What the service covers
One Step Color applies a single base color to the roots or outgrown areas, intended as a targeted refresh rather than a full re-color. The appointment includes a focused consultation so your stylist understands tone and expectations; clients frequently point to careful attention and an unhurried process. Starting at $135 and scheduled for 120 minutes, it prioritizes precise root coverage.
This service is suited for clients who want consistent base tone at the scalp without changing the entire length. If your hair needs color from roots to ends, that increases product use and time, which alters pricing and scheduling. Your stylist will clarify whether root-only work meets your goals or if a broader application is more appropriate during the consult.
Price and time factors
Pricing depends on how much color and product are required and where it’s applied. Starting at $135 covers a single base application on roots or outgrown hair; services that extend color from roots to ends will increase in cost. Duration: 120 minutes is the standard booking to allow consultation, application and processing for most root-only jobs.
Expect cost and time to rise with longer, thicker, or previously treated hair because those attributes require extra product and attention. The service sees seasonal demand spikes in May, June, November and December, so plan ahead for holidays and travel. Evening and weekend appointments are offered to fit Bakersfield commuters and shift workers' schedules.
Appointment and location details
Hair Inc sits in Downtown Bakersfield with convenient access from Highway 99 and nearby landmarks such as the Fox Theater and the Bakersfield Amtrak Station. The central location makes short-notice or midday appointments practical for car commuters and visitors to the Valley Plaza Mall, and late hours suit clients preparing for local events.
The salon’s small, personalized setup focuses on careful consultations and flexible scheduling; reviews note attentive stylists and accommodations for mobility needs. There is ample parking near the shop and a more relaxed pace than larger chains. To help your stylist, bring clear photos of desired shades so the consultation can define whether root coverage alone is the right choice.
