Roots in Somerville, MA
A root touch-up is the appointment that keeps every other colour service looking new. Somerville clients book it on a rhythm — usually every four to six weeks — because it's short, predictable and ten minutes from Davis Square.
Why Somerville clients book with us
A focused appointment: regrowth covered, tone refreshed, hair dried and finished.
Colour matched to your existing shade so there's no line where new meets old.
Easy to pair with a gloss if the ends have faded since your last visit.
What your roots appointment includes
Colour matched to your existing shade
We read your current colour in the light of the salon and mix to match it, so the regrowth disappears rather than sitting a shade off.
Colour applied to the regrowth
Precise application at the root only — clean sections, no overlap onto previously coloured hair that would create banding.
Processed and monitored
Your colourist checks development rather than working to a timer, so grey coverage and depth land where they should.
Somerville questions, answered
How long does a root touch-up take?
Usually around 60 to 90 minutes including the blow dry, which makes it an easy weekday appointment from Somerville.
Can you cover grey completely?
Yes — we mix for full grey coverage when that's what you want, or a softer blend if you'd prefer the regrowth to be less stark between visits.
How often do I need my roots done?
Every four to six weeks is typical. How fast your hair grows and how much contrast there is between your colour and your natural tone decides where you sit in that window.
Can I go longer between appointments?
Yes — with a gloss or a shadow root we can soften the regrowth line so it grows out far less obviously. Ask at your consultation and we will build the option that fits your schedule.
