Good to know.

How much does a hair color appointment cost in New York City?
Color prices in New York City can range from about $100 to $1,000, depending on the salon and the process. At Pearlita, David charges $150 for a base color or a gloss. A creative color session or a color and highlights combo runs $400.
What is the difference between bleach and tone, highlights, and a gloss?
These three services do different jobs. A bleach and tone lifts your whole head to a lighter shade, then adds a tone to control warmth. It is a big change. Highlights use foils to lighten small sections of hair for a bold, bright look. A gloss adds shine and tone on top of your natural or colored hair without lightening it. If you want a full change, ask David about bleach and tone. If you want dimension, book highlights. If you just want shine and a refresh, a gloss is the easier option.
How long does a color appointment take?
Most color appointments take 2 to 4 hours. The exact time depends on your hair length, thickness, and how much color work you need. A gloss or a blowout is usually faster. A full bleach and tone or a creative color session takes longer.
What is your cancellation policy?
David asks for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. This gives him time to offer your spot to another client. Please text or call as soon as you know your plans have changed.
