What Our Clients Say About Us

Here's what Salotto Salon guests really say about their visits:

"I was way overdue for a haircut and found Salotto on Yelp. I called, and the receptionist was very friendly and was able to fit me in on a Saturday with Anthony. The girls I interacted with at the salon were all really nice, and I enjoyed chatting with Anthony as he cut my hair. Love my cut and overall had a great experience here. I’m glad this place is near home. I’ll be back."

What Is a Hair Color
Touch Up?

A hair color touch up is a targeted service that focuses on the regrowth at your roots. It refreshes your color without reprocessing the entire length of your hair.

At Salotto Salon, we apply color only to the new growth, usually the first half-inch to inch of hair near the scalp. This keeps your base consistent while protecting the previously colored sections from unnecessary chemical exposure.

Touch ups work for any color service. Root regrowth happens naturally, and covering it keeps your color looking seamless from root to tip.

We customize the formula to match your existing shade, so the blend feels soft and natural. If your tone has faded, we can also refresh the mid-lengths and ends for an all-over refresh that brings back the vibrancy.

Benefits of Regular Hair Color Touch Ups

Root touch ups keep your color fresh, extend time between full services, and prevent noticeable regrowth.

Maintains Fresh, Polished Color

Regular touch ups prevent visible root lines from breaking up your color. You get consistent tone from scalp to ends, so your hair always looks intentional.

This is especially helpful if you have a professional setting or just prefer a put-together look. Root maintenance keeps your style looking fresh without constant full-color appointments.

Extends Time Between Full Services

Touch ups are faster and more budget-friendly than all-over color. The service focuses only on regrowth, so you spend less time in the chair and less on each visit.

You can stretch your full color appointments longer while still maintaining a polished finish. That means fewer chemicals on previously colored hair and more flexibility in your schedule.

Blends Seamlessly with Existing Color

We match the formula to your current base so there's no harsh line between old and new color. 

The result feels lived-in, not freshly applied.

If your tone has shifted, we can adjust the formula to keep everything balanced. That way, your roots blend smoothly and the overall color stays cohesive.

Prevents Visible Root Grow Out

Regrowth shows up fast, especially on darker roots with lighter color. Touch ups keep that line from becoming obvious, so your color never looks grown out or neglected. Your hair maintains depth and dimension instead of developing a flat, two-toned appearance. 

The blend stays soft, and your color looks fresh for weeks after the service.

Types of Color Touch Up Services
We Offer at Salotto Salon

From root coverage to all-over refreshes, we customize touch ups to match your maintenance needs and schedule.

Root Touch Up

This service targets the first inch of regrowth at the scalp. We apply color only to the new growth, blending it seamlessly with your existing shade.

Root touch ups are quick, usually taking 45 to 60 minutes depending on density and length. They're perfect for maintaining a consistent base without recoloring the entire head.

All-Over Color Refresh

If your color has faded or lost vibrancy, an all-over refresh brings it back to life. We apply a gloss or toner throughout to revive tone and add shine.

This service also addresses regrowth while refreshing the mid-lengths and ends. It's a great option when your color feels dull but the roots are the main concern.

Grey Root Coverage

Grey coverage requires a precise formula that fully camouflages resistant strands. We customize the mix to match your base and ensure complete coverage from root to tip.

This service works well for full grey coverage or blending scattered greys into your natural color. The result is an even, consistent tone with no patchiness.

Highlight Refresh

A highlight refresh adds a few strategic foils around the face, part, or crown to brighten key areas without a full highlight session. It keeps dimension fresh between full foiling appointments.

This service is faster and more affordable than full highlights, but still delivers the brightness where you notice it most. It's perfect for maintaining that lived-in, sun-kissed look.

FAQs

How often should I get a hair color touch up?

Most guests book touch ups every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how fast their hair grows and how noticeable the regrowth is. If you have high-contrast color or grey coverage, you may prefer more frequent visits to keep roots seamless.
