Makers Make Parlor — San Francisco

Color,
simplified.

Three options. No confusing menu. Just an honest answer to the question: how much of your head and how much time?

The Makers Color System

Most color menus have twelve options. This one has three.

Color services are really just two questions in disguise. How much of your head are we doing? And how much time do we need? That is it. Everything else is noise.

At Makers, the color menu is built around that truth. A quick root touch-up is a different appointment than a full transformation. Naming them clearly and honestly means you show up knowing what to expect — and so does the schedule.

All prices are starting points. Every head of hair is different. The final price is determined in your consultation, in person, based on your actual hair.

All color services at Makers start with a consultation and finish with a signature blowout. What happens in between depends on which service you book. Processing time is yours — bring your laptop, your headphones, or nothing at all.

First time at Makers?

New Client
Color.

If this is your first color appointment at Makers, start here. The New Client Color gives us extra time for a real consultation — not a rushed five-minute version — and assumes we will be applying color through the ends as well as the roots. It is the right starting point for first-timers, bigger changes, or anyone who is not sure what to book.

Includes: Extended consultation, full application, pH-balancing deep conditioning treatment, and a signature blowout.

Quick touch-up
The Maintenance Color

Root touch-up only. A single-process service to maintain your existing shade at the root. If we refresh your ends, a small additional charge applies. The appointment for when your color is right and your roots are not.

  • Grey coverage
  • Root touch-ups with 1 to 2 inches of regrowth
  • Keeping your base color consistent
  • Refreshing all-over single color with no lightening
More time, more dimension
The Partial Highlight

  • Face-framing highlights and money piece refresh
  • Partial balayage
  • Lived-in blondes needing a refresh
Full transformation
The Full Color Refresh
From $250

Every color appointment

What every color
appointment includes.

Regardless of which service you book, every color appointment at Makers follows the same structure. You always know what to expect.

01
Consultation
Every appointment starts with a real conversation. Your hair history, your goals, and your lifestyle. In person only — no virtual consultations for color.
02
Color Application
Precise, intentional application based on what we discussed. The technique depends on your service — root application, lightening, balayage, or a combination.
03
Processing + Toning
Your color processes with proper time. Partial and Full Color services include a gloss or toner for a balanced, finished result at the end.
04
Signature Blowout
Every color appointment finishes with a full blowout. You leave with your color done and your hair styled. Not a wet send-off.
In-person consultations only

Color consultations at Makers happen in the chair, in person, before every appointment. No virtual consultations for color services. Pricing is always confirmed in person based on your actual hair — not a photo, not a guess. All prices listed are starting points.

Booking color + a haircut?

Book your color service first. The color service determines the time block and the haircut gets added to it. If you book the haircut first you will not have the right amount of time. When in doubt, text Rachel before booking and she will point you in the right direction.

Common Questions

Before you book.
If you are new to Makers, start with the New Client Color. If you are a returning client, ask yourself: am I just doing roots, or am I doing something to the lengths too? Roots only is a Maintenance Color. Front and crown with dimension is the Partial Highlight. Full head or bigger change is the Full Color Refresh. Still not sure? Text Rachel and she will sort it out.
All prices listed are starting points. The final price depends on your hair length, density, the amount of product used, and what we decide together in your consultation. You will always know the price before we start — there are no surprise charges at the end.
Yes. Book your color service first — it sets the time block — then add the haircut. If you are unsure how to do this, text Rachel before booking and she will walk you through it.
Yes, under the Full Color Refresh. Major corrections require an in-person consultation first. If you are coming from box color, a bad previous service, or a significant change in direction, please text before booking so we can make sure you have the right amount of time.
No. Color consultations at Makers happen in person, at the start of every appointment. A photo cannot tell me what your hair actually needs. The in-person consultation is where the real work starts.
Color appointments are long appointments and require 7 days notice to reschedule or cancel. Less than 7 days notice results in a fee of $100 or 50% of the service value, whichever is less, due before your next booking. Everyone gets one Grace Pass — one free pass, no questions asked. After that the policy applies.
