Frequently asked questions
How much does hair colour cost in India?
Hair colour in India costs ₹600 to ₹9,000 in 2026. Root touch-up is ₹600 to ₹1,500, global colour ₹900 to ₹4,500 by length, highlights ₹2,500 to ₹6,500 and balayage ₹4,000 to ₹9,000.
Why is balayage more expensive than global colour?
Balayage is hand-painted section by section and often needs pre-lightening plus toning, so it takes 2.5 to 3 hours of senior-stylist time versus about an hour for global colour.
Is ammonia-free hair colour worth the extra cost?
For sensitive scalps, greying coverage on fine hair, or hair already treated with keratin, yes. It costs 20 to 40% more and fades slightly faster, but is far gentler on the hair shaft.
How often should I touch up hair colour?
Every 4 to 6 weeks for grey coverage, and every 8 to 12 weeks for fashion shades or balayage where regrowth is part of the look. A root touch-up between global colours keeps cost down.
What is the hair colour price in Hyderabad?
In Hyderabad, global hair colour costs ₹1,500 to ₹4,500 depending on hair length, with root touch-up from ₹800 and balayage from ₹4,000.
Does hair colour price include a wash and blow-dry?
At most premium unisex salons, yes, the post-colour wash and basic blow-dry are included. A styled blow-dry, colour-lock spa or toner is usually billed separately.
