Hair Color

Hair Color Services in Eastchester, NY

Color is the most personal service a salon offers. It changes how you see yourself in the mirror and how the world sees you walking in. At MAK Salon, every color appointment starts with a consultation where Marie Maksuti or one of the team assesses your natural base, skin tone, hair history, and goals before mixing a single formula.

That conversation matters because hair color is chemistry. The formula that works on fine, virgin hair is completely different from what works on thick, previously colored hair. Westchester's hard water and seasonal humidity also affect how color develops and how long it holds. These factors get built into every service at MAK Salon.

Balayage vs. Highlights: Choosing the Right Technique

Balayage and highlights are the two most requested services at MAK Salon. They produce different results and suit different lifestyles.

Balayage is a hand-painted technique where lightener is applied freehand to create soft, blended dimension. The result grows out naturally with no hard root line, which means longer stretches between appointments (typically 10 to 14 weeks). Full balayage starts at $260. Partial balayage starts at $160.

Highlights use foils to create more defined, uniform brightness. They produce a bolder contrast and work well for clients who want maximum dimension or who are going significantly lighter. Full highlights start at $260. Partial highlights start at $160.

Not sure which is right for you? That is exactly what the consultation is for. Many clients end up with a combination of both techniques depending on their starting color and desired result.

Single Process and Double Process Color

Single process ($85) covers gray roots or refreshes your all-over color. It takes about an hour and typically needs a touchup every 4 to 6 weeks. MAK Salon uses professional formulas that condition while they color, so your hair feels healthy after the service, not dry.

Double process ($175) is a two-step service for clients who need a full color change: going from dark to light, correcting unwanted tones, or achieving a dramatically different shade. The first step lightens. The second step deposits the target color. This is the right service when you are making a major change, not just maintaining.

Glaze, Toner, and Face Frame Services

Glaze ($60) is a semi-permanent color treatment that adds shine and refreshes tone without altering your base color. It lasts 4 to 6 weeks and is a low-commitment way to enhance your natural hair or extend the life of a color service. Clients who get balayage often add a glaze at their maintenance appointments to keep their tone bright between full services.

Toner ($45) neutralizes unwanted warm or brassy tones after lightening. It is typically included with highlight and balayage services but can also be booked as a standalone refresh.

Face frame ($65+) places highlights only around the hairline and face. It is the lightest touch of color and brightens your look without a full commitment. Popular with clients who want a low-maintenance change.

Color Correction

Color correction is for hair that has been damaged, over-processed, or colored incorrectly. Maybe you went to a different salon and the result was too dark, too brassy, or uneven. Maybe you tried a box color at home and it did not go as planned.

At MAK Salon, color correction is priced by consultation because every situation is different. Some corrections take one session. Others require two or three visits spaced weeks apart to safely lift, tone, and restore your hair without causing further damage. Marie Maksuti has handled color corrections on clients throughout Westchester County and brings the patience and technical skill this service requires.

How Long Does Hair Color Last?

Longevity depends on the technique and your home care routine. Single process color typically needs a touchup at 4 to 6 weeks. Highlights and balayage last 8 to 14 weeks depending on placement. Glazes fade gradually over 4 to 6 weeks.

Westchester's hard water can accelerate color fading. MAK Salon recommends a chelating shampoo once a week to remove mineral buildup, plus sulfate-free daily products to protect your investment. The team will walk you through the right products during your appointment.
