Why Low-Maintenance Hair Color Will Save You Money in the Long Run
At August Collective, we specialize in creating beautiful, lived-in, low-maintenance hair color—and for good reason. Not only do these looks deliver effortless beauty, but they also help our clients save money in the long term. Curious how? Let’s break it down.
1. Fewer Trips to the Salon
Low-maintenance hair color techniques, like balayage, custom dimensional color, and grey blending, are designed to grow out seamlessly. Unlike traditional hair coloring methods that require frequent touch-ups to cover roots or maintain vibrancy, low-maintenance styles allow you to go longer between appointments without sacrificing your look.
Our clients average 3-4 months between visits for blondes and grey blending and 6+ months for brunettes. For example, our Maintenance Custom Color service is designed to keep your hair looking fresh for months while still giving you that coveted “lived-in” vibe. Stretching out the time between salon visits means fewer appointments and, ultimately, fewer expenses.
2. A Competitive Pricing Approach with Long-Term Value
We understand that some clients may feel our services are outside their budget at first glance. However, it’s important to note that our pricing is in line with other high-quality salons in the area. The difference? Our low-maintenance approach means you’ll need fewer salon visits overall. When you consider the reduced frequency of touch-ups and the long-lasting results we deliver, the value becomes clear.
3. Lower Risk of Damage (and Costly Repairs)
Over-processing your hair with frequent coloring sessions can lead to damage, which then requires expensive treatments to repair. Low-maintenance color techniques are gentler on your hair and scalp because they’re designed to minimize harsh chemical exposure and unnecessary processing. Healthier hair equals fewer restorative treatments, saving you money and giving you stronger, shinier hair.
4. Perfect for Busy Lifestyles
We know our clients at August Collective lead busy lives. Low-maintenance hair color not only saves you money but also time. With less frequent salon visits and styles that don’t require constant tweaking, you can focus on what matters most in your day-to-day life while still looking effortlessly polished. And, because we’ve tailored your look specifically to you, your hair will always feel “put together” even as it grows out.
5. Investment vs. Quick Fix
Yes, a low-maintenance color service may seem like a bigger upfront investment. However, when you calculate the cost of regular touch-ups, emergency fixes, or excessive styling products to keep higher-maintenance looks fresh, the financial advantage becomes clear. At August Collective, our services—like the Full Custom Color—are designed to last, offering exceptional value over time.
