What to expect in salon
Your appointment with an Advanced Master Artist begins with a focused consultation and hair assessment. The artist will review your hair’s texture, history of chemical services, and styling goals, then explain how the Magic Sleek Smoothing approach will be adapted. Note the published starting price is $400, and final cost varies with stylist level and hair length or thickness.
During the in-salon process the artist applies the chosen protocol with precision and follows with heat-styling and finishing decisions tailored to each client. Expect a step-by-step explanation from your artist and practical guidance about styling afterward. If you commute via Red Bank or drive Route 35, consider before- or after-work booking options to fit your schedule.
Factors that shape results
Several hair-specific factors influence outcomes: natural texture, previous chemical services, and the length and density of the hair. Climate matters too — Shrewsbury’s humid summers and seasonal changes can affect styling and manageability. Your artist will discuss realistic expectations based on these conditions rather than promising a single fixed result.
Stylist experience also plays a role: the treatment is offered at nine stylist levels, so the artist’s level influences technique refinement and price. There’s an extra charge for long or very thick hair because more product and time are required. Busy families and commuters should weigh maintenance needs against the convenience of smoother styling.
Stylist levels and pricing
The price shown is a starting rate: $400. That starting rate increases with higher stylist levels, and the salon notes that extra charges apply for long or thick hair. Nine levels are listed across the salon’s team; when you book, the desk can explain which level an Advanced Master Artist occupies and provide a detailed estimate before you commit.
Booking a consultation is the best way to receive an accurate quote and a tailored plan. Your Advanced Master Artist will ask about recent color or chemical history and can recommend follow-up styling or product choices. Salon CoCo BOND Spa’s Broad Street location makes it easy to combine this appointment with nearby errands or an evening after a Count Basie event.
