Why We Color Bundles First
Coloring each extension bundle before it’s installed creates consistent tone across all pieces and reduces visible banding between bundles. At MJM Salon & Co. we apply a custom color to every bundle so extensions can blend with natural or color-treated hair, giving a unified appearance rather than mismatched strands after installation.
This per-bundle coloring appointment is priced at $75 and typically takes 120 MINUTES. Because the work is done before installation, plan the coloring session into your appointment schedule; we offer evening and weekend availability to fit commuters, shift workers, and families in the Rivers Avenue corridor and nearby neighborhoods.
How Color Matching Happens
Color matching begins with a conversation about your target shade and undertones, then a professional custom color is applied to each bundle before it leaves the salon. Doing this at the bundle level gives more control over shade consistency across all pieces and helps achieve a closer visual match to clients' existing hair.
Local factors like indoor lighting, outdoor sun exposure, and seasonal humidity in North Charleston can change how a shade reads once installed. We ask clients to bring photos or a sample swatch when possible so the stylist can select a tone that accounts for those local lighting and lifestyle variables.
Aftercare And Maintenance Considerations
Coloring bundles before installation reduces the need for on-head processing, but colored extensions still respond to light, heat, and chemicals. Follow the extension manufacturer's care guidance and professional aftercare advice to manage color appearance; avoid assumptions about fade rates, and schedule touch-ups or tone adjustments through the salon if you notice notable changes.
If you're preparing for an event at the North Charleston Coliseum or traveling via Charleston International Airport, plan your coloring appointment ahead to allow any desired adjustments before installation. Because we serve commuters along I-526 and the Rivers Avenue retail corridor, morning or evening slots can be available to align with work shifts or travel plans.
