What Is Root Touch-Ups & Color Retouching?
Root touch-ups target the new growth at your hairline and part, applying color precisely where it is needed without overlapping onto previously colored hair. This technique maintains the health and integrity of your lengths while keeping your color looking salon-fresh.
Color retouching goes a step further, refreshing color throughout your mid-lengths and ends if fading has occurred. At Meraki Salon in Mountainside, NJ, we match your existing formula exactly or adjust it to evolve your look subtly over time.

What Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a root touch-up?
Most clients schedule root touch-ups every 4–6 weeks, depending on how quickly their hair grows and how visible the contrast is between their natural and colored hair.
Can you match my existing color from another salon?
Yes! Our experienced colorists are skilled at color matching. Bring in photos of your current color or describe what you love about it, and we will formulate accordingly.
Will root touch-ups damage my hair over time?
When done correctly, root touch-ups are gentle because color is only applied to new growth. We avoid overlapping onto previously treated hair and use conditioning treatments to maintain health.
