Pricing Overview
Balayage
Our signature service. Balayage is freehand painting, no foils and no harsh lines. Our Artisans place lightener exactly where the sun would naturally hit your hair, building soft, lived-in dimension that grows out beautifully without an obvious regrowth line. It's the technique behind the sun-kissed, low-maintenance look so many of our Cary, Apex, and Morrisville guests come in asking for.
Whether you want subtle face-framing brightness or a bold lift through the lengths, every balayage is built around your hair's texture, base color, and how often you can come in for upkeep. Most balayage guests stretch four to five months between visits.
Service areas: Apex, Raleigh, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Garner.
Foil Highlights, Full and Partial
The classic dimensional highlight, refined. Foils give us total control over placement, saturation, and lift, which makes them the right call for guests who want a brighter, more uniform finish than balayage delivers, or who are starting from a darker base. We offer full foils for an all-over brightening effect and partial foils when you want focused light around the face, the part, or through the top.
Foils pair beautifully with a gloss to seal the cuticle and lock in tone, especially if you spend time in the Triangle's pool, gym, or summer humidity. Our blonde Artisans are known across Cary, Apex, and Raleigh for clean, creamy, expensive-looking highlights without the brassy pull that a lot of salons leave behind.
Service areas: Apex, Raleigh, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina.
All-Over Color & Root Touch-Ups
Sometimes you want one consistent, saturated color from root to tip. Whether you're covering grey, deepening your natural shade, or going a few levels in either direction, our Artisans formulate every base color custom to your hair's history and porosity. We use professional, low-ammonia color lines that protect the integrity of your strands while delivering rich, true-to-tone results that hold up between visits.
Root touch-ups keep your color looking fresh between full appointments. Most guests book a touch-up every four to six weeks, depending on growth and how much grey we're blending. We see clients for root work from across Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Raleigh.
Glosses & Toners
A gloss is the secret behind expensive-looking color. It refreshes your tone, adds shine that lasts for weeks, and seals the cuticle so your color stays vibrant longer. We add a gloss to most color services and offer it as a standalone refresh between appointments. If your blonde has gone brassy, your brunette looks dull, or your color just needs a reset before a wedding, vacation, or photo shoot, this is the service you're looking for.
Color Correction
If a previous stylist or a box dye left you with a result that doesn't look like you, our Artisans handle the fix. Color correction is technical, time-intensive work, and we always start with a complimentary in-person consultation so we can assess your hair's condition and map out a realistic plan. Some corrections are one appointment. Others happen over multiple sessions to protect your hair's integrity. Either way, you'll leave with a clear roadmap and an honest answer about what's possible. Guests travel from Cary, Apex, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Clayton for our color correction work.
Fashion & Vivid Color
Lavender, rose gold, copper, deep emerald, fashion blondes that border on platinum. We love the bold work. Vivids and fashion colors require a custom consultation because the prep, the lift, and the maintenance vary so much between hair types. Book a consultation and we'll talk through the look you want, the look your hair can support today, and how to get there without compromising your strands.

Precision Haircuts for Women
A great haircut should feel just as good on day five as it does walking out of the salon. Our Artisans cut with intention, working with your hair's natural texture, growth pattern, and how you actually style at home. Long layers, blunt bobs, lived-in shags, French girl bangs, curtain bangs, modern pixies, every shape we cut is tailored to your face and lifestyle.
Every cut includes a wash, blow-dry, and finishing style. We're known throughout the Triangle for cuts that grow out gracefully and don't require a salon-level blowout to look good every morning.
Service areas: Apex, Raleigh, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and Garner.
Men's Cuts
Tapered fades, classic side parts, modern textured crops, scissor cuts, beard shaping, and grey-blending color. Our Artisans cut for men with the same level of precision and finish work we put into every appointment. We treat each cut as a custom design rather than a number on a clipper guard, which is why so many of our male clients drive in from Apex, Morrisville, and Raleigh for their regular cuts.
Blowouts
A salon blowout from Artisan Hair gives you smooth, voluminous, frizz-resistant hair for up to five days, no flat iron required. We use professional-grade smoothing serums, heat protectants, and round-brush technique to lock in shine and shape. It's the right service before a wedding, a date, a presentation, or any day you want your hair to look effortless.
Iron Work & Styling
Beachy waves, glossy straight, defined curls, '90s blowouts. Iron work is the finish that turns a great cut and color into a magazine-cover look. Add it to any service when you want extra polish for an event, a photo shoot, or a night out.
Bridal & Special Occasion Styling
Your wedding day, your daughter's quinceañera, prom, the gala, the milestone birthday. Formal styling at Artisan Hair is a full design experience. We schedule a trial run before the event so you and your Artisan can dial in the look, account for veil placement or accessories, and lock in a style that holds from first look through the last dance. We service brides throughout Cary, Apex, Raleigh, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, and the entire Triangle.
Hand-Tied Hair Extensions
Real human hair, hand-tied to a beaded weft for the most natural, lightweight finish in extensions today. Hand-tied extensions add length, density, fullness, and even color dimension without the visible tracks or pulling that older methods caused. Our certified extension Artisans match your color, density, and texture so seamlessly that most people can't tell where your hair ends and the extension begins.
Extensions are a consultation-first service. We'll talk through your goals, your lifestyle, and your maintenance routine before we order any hair. Adjustments happen every six to eight weeks, and a quality install can last six to nine months with the right home care.
Service areas: Apex, Raleigh, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Garner, and Carrboro.
Keratin & Smoothing Treatments
Cary's humidity is no joke. Keratin and smoothing treatments cut your daily styling time in half and keep frizz under control for three to six months. We carry multiple smoothing systems so we can match the right treatment to your hair type, your color history, and how straight you actually want to go. Some guests want full silk-smooth, others want frizz control with their natural wave intact. Either is possible.
Every keratin appointment starts with a consultation about your color, your hair's condition, and your at-home routine, so we can deliver results that hold and don't compromise your strands.
Service areas: Apex, Raleigh, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and Durham.
In-Salon Deep Conditioning
Hair that's tired from heat, sun, hard water, or chemical services responds beautifully to a professional conditioning treatment. We hand-pick the right mask, serum, or steam-activated treatment for your hair's specific needs and apply it with deep penetration techniques that home care can't replicate. Add it to any service when your hair needs a real reset.
Bond Builders & Strengthening Treatments
Bond-building treatments rebuild the internal structure of your hair where heat, color, and chemical services have broken it down. We add a bond builder to most color services as a protective step, and offer it as a standalone strengthening service for hair that needs serious recovery. The result is stronger, shinier, more elastic strands that hold color longer and break less.

Why every guest leaves with a different result
The word Artisan isn't on our sign by accident. Every member of our team trains continuously, specializes in their strongest crafts, and brings a different eye to the chair. One Artisan might be your blonde whisperer. Another sees brunettes the way a painter sees light. Another cuts curly hair so well clients fly in from out of state.
That range is the point. When you book at Artisan Hair Cary, you're matched with the Artisan whose specialty fits the look you want, not handed off to whoever has an open slot. It's how we deliver work that actually looks like you, not a trend pulled off Pinterest.
