How level pricing works
Three levels. One standard of care.
4 to 8 years behind the chair
Established stylists with a full book and a clear specialty. Most guests book here: proven hands, reliable results, and openings that usually come up within the week.
9+ years, educator level
Our most-requested chairs and the people who train everyone else. Master prices reflect demand on their calendar, not extra effort, because every level gets the same care. Expect to book two to three weeks out.
Levels are about demand and experience, never effort. Every guest gets the same consultation, the same products and the same time in the chair. A New Talent appointment is the same craft, earlier in its story, at a friendlier price.
The price matrix
Every starting price, side by side
Prices are starting points in Canadian dollars for average length and thickness. If yours will be higher, your stylist tells you during the consultation, before any work starts.

Included, always
The wash ritual is not an upsell.
Every cut and colour includes the full basin ritual: a double cleanse matched to your hair, a conditioning masque during the scalp massage, and water kept warm, never hot, because hot water and fresh colour don't mix. It's in the price at every level. The only thing we'll offer to sell you is a bottle of the shampoo you just fell asleep to, and only if you ask.
Moving or cancelling? It's free up to 24 hours ahead. Inside 24 hours we charge half the service price. Full details are on the FAQ & policies page.
