Why color, here

Color is what Robert’s Salon and Spa is known for. For more than 30 years, clients across Belmont have come to our Leonard Street salon for hair color that looks like it grew that way — rich single-process shades, hand-placed foil highlights, seamless gray blending, and corrections that rescue color gone wrong.

Our master colorists work with Goldwell professional color and Kérastase treatments, and they’ve been doing it long enough to know that the formula on the shelf matters less than the eye reading your hair. Every color service starts with a consultation — your history, your maintenance, what you actually want — before anything is mixed.

Our Hair Color Services

Single Process Color

An all-over shade applied root to end, or a root touch-up between appointments. This is the workhorse of the color menu — richer brunettes, warmer blondes, or simply your natural color, restored. Includes a blow dry.

Foil Highlights — Partial and Full

Hand-placed foils that build real dimension rather than a flat lift. Partial foils brighten the crown and the pieces around your face; full foils carry that lift through the back and underneath for a lighter overall result. Both can be paired with a haircut and blow dry in one visit.

Gray Coverage and Blending

Two different approaches, and the right one depends on how much gray you have and how much upkeep you want. Full coverage takes gray out entirely. Blending weaves lighter tones through the gray so grow-out is soft instead of a line at the part — a favorite among clients who want to stretch time between appointments.

Balayage and Hand-Painted Color

Color painted freehand rather than packed in foil, so the lift is softest at the root and strongest through the ends. It grows out gently, which makes it one of the lowest-maintenance ways to go lighter.

Gloss and Toner

A demi-permanent finish that knocks down brassiness, evens tone, and adds the shine that photographs well. Quick to do, and often the difference between color that looks good and color that looks expensive.

Color Correction

Box color that went orange. Highlights that lifted unevenly. A shade three levels off what you asked for somewhere else. Corrections start with a consultation and are priced individually — some are a single visit, some are staged over several to protect the condition of your hair.

Pair Your Color With

Most color clients book a service alongside it. A cut and blow dry in the same visit saves a second trip, and a keratin smoothing treatment keeps colored hair glossy and frizz-free for months. If your ends need help before we lighten, ask about a Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment at the bowl.

Questions we get asked

Hair color FAQs

How much does hair color cost in Belmont, MA?

One process color with a blow dry is $160, partial foil highlights start at $150, and full foils start at $180. Color with a cut and full foils is $250. Final pricing depends on your hair length, density, and how much product and time your result takes. We confirm pricing at your consultation before we begin.

Partial foils brighten the top and sides of your hair — the areas that frame your face and show most. Full foils take highlights through the entire head, including the back and underneath. Partial is a lighter, lower-maintenance option; full foils give a more dramatic overall lift.
A single process color with a blow dry usually runs 90 minutes to two hours. Partial foils take around two hours, and full foils with a cut and blow dry can take three or more. Color corrections are booked individually after a consultation.
Most clients covering gray come in every four to six weeks. Highlights stretch further — typically eight to twelve weeks for partial foils, and longer for hand-painted or balayage work, which grows out softly rather than leaving a hard line.
Yes. Color correction is one of the things our master colorists do most. Whether it’s a box color that went brassy or highlights that lifted unevenly, we start with a consultation, assess the condition of your hair, and build a plan — sometimes over more than one visit.
