What the extra bowl is
The Extra bowl is a short add-on that provides an additional container of color or lightener used during a hair color, highlight, or color correction service. Price is Starting at $45 and the appointment adds approximately 15 MINUTES to your visit. It gives your stylist the extra material needed to complete separate sections without interrupting the main process.
Stylists typically request an extra bowl for multi-step blonding, dramatic color changes, or when hair density requires more product. Demand peaks in May, June, and December, so adding this service is common during spring transformation season and holiday styling. Clients from Oakdale, Maplewood, Lake Elmo and nearby neighborhoods often combine the visit with shopping or errands in Woodbury.
How it shapes color results
An extra bowl helps your stylist keep color application consistent across sections by preventing cross-contamination of formulas and ensuring fresh product for touch-ups. The trade-off is a small added cost and time — Starting at $45 and typically 15 MINUTES — which can be worthwhile when balanced against uneven processing or tone discrepancies.
Because Woodbury families and commuters schedule around busy lives, the brief time addition fits well with errands or a stop at Tamarack Village. Stylists decide based on the complexity of the color plan, the number of product mixes required, and visible processing needs rather than as a routine charge for every appointment.
Booking and what to expect
The extra bowl is added during your consultation or at the stylist's recommendation on the day of service. If your stylist determines more product will be required to finish highlights or corrections, they will propose this add-on, explain the cost and the 15 MINUTES it will add, and proceed only with your approval.
Appointments at our Eagle Valley Marketplace-area salon are scheduled to accommodate commuting and family routines, so adding this short service is usually straightforward. Expect a brief explanation from your stylist, a minor timing adjustment, and continued focus on an even, well-blended finish across the sections being treated.
