How a color consultation works

Free, and it comes before any new color.

  1. Book 15 minutes

    With any stylist, on any day we’re open.

  2. Bring pictures

    Of color you like, and of color you don’t.

  3. A written price

    Your stylist asks about past color and box dye, then writes down the price and how long it takes.

  4. A patch test, for a first color

    A dab behind the ear 48 hours ahead, to check for a reaction.

On North Main since 2011

When I opened Marlowe in Fairport in 2011, it was me and one other stylist in the front room of this building. We’re six now, and in 2018 we took over the floor upstairs.

Pricing by level means you can choose by budget or by stylist, and every level does the full menu. If a cut or color isn’t right, call within a week and we’ll fix it at no charge.

What clients tell us

A free color consultation with Maddie on a Thursday evening, then highlights the next week. She wrote down the price, and it didn’t change.

Olivia N.Highlights

Jenna took me from box-dye black to a soft brown balayage over two appointments, exactly as she planned it at the consultation.

Rachel G.Color correction and balayage

Tasha put in tape-in extensions before my wedding. My sister couldn’t find where my own hair stopped.

Melissa F.Extensions

Beautiful balayage, but my Saturday appointment ran 40 minutes long, so leave time if you have plans after.

Kristen O.Balayage

The $32 short cut with Lauren, every four weeks. In and out in half an hour, and booked by text.

Tom H.Short cut

Claire has cut my hair for nine years. I moved to Penfield and I still drive back for her.

Questions we get

Do you take walk-ins?

For short cuts and blowouts if a stylist is free, and a call first saves a wasted trip. Color and balayage are by appointment.

How far ahead should I book?

Two weeks for Saturdays and evenings, about a week otherwise. Claire and Jenna are usually booked three to four weeks out.

How much is a cut?

$55 with a stylist, $68 with a senior stylist and $85 with a master stylist, including the wash and style. Short cuts start at $32.

Do you do color?

Yes: single-process, highlights, balayage, gloss and color correction. Any new color starts with a free 15-minute consultation.

What happens if I am late?

We’ll do what we can in the time that’s left. More than 15 minutes late for color usually means rebooking, because color can’t be rushed.

Can I move or cancel an appointment?

Yes, with 48 hours’ notice for color and extensions, and 24 hours for anything else. Later than that, we charge 25% of the service.

How can I pay?

Cards, Apple Pay or cash, with tips on the card or in cash. Gift cards are sold at the front desk in any amount.
