How root retouching works
A retouch refreshes color at the roots to blend new growth with your existing shade. The service focuses on precise application along the hairline and part to eliminate visible regrowth, preserving the overall shade instead of redoing the whole color. Clients leave with a seamless, refreshed look that reads like a freshly done color.
Because the work targets the root area, the stylist evaluates how your existing color and recent services interact with new growth. That consultation guides the exact placement and saturation used; outcome depends on previous coloring and the amount of visible regrowth rather than a full color change.
Scheduling, price and timing
This service is listed at $45 with a typical appointment length of 60 MINUTES; final pricing can vary depending on hair length and texture. The quoted time includes a brief consultation, the precise root application, and a quick check to ensure the new growth blends smoothly with your current shade.
Demand rises seasonally — April, August and December are busiest months because clients refresh color for spring transitions, after summer routines, and ahead of holiday events. Epic Studio Barbers & Stylist’s Hermosa location is convenient for commuters off Cicero Avenue or the CTA Blue Line for evening and weekend appointments.
Home care and longevity
Clients report vibrant, fresh-looking color and maintain healthy-feeling hair after color services. Stylists prioritize product choices and techniques that support hair health; some clients note certain color work is done without bleach when appropriate. During your consult the stylist will discuss options that balance color vibrancy and hair condition.
Expect a short review of your current color and a few tips for upkeep before you leave. How long the refreshed look feels ‘new’ depends on your natural growth rate and routine exposures like sun or seasonal activities in Humboldt Park or local pools, so timing follow-ups around those cycles helps keep color consistent.
