By Loc Seeds | July 18, 2026
30 minutes | $55 | Serving Indianapolis, including Lawrence, Warren Park, Beech Grove, Broad Ripple, Irvington, and Cumberland
Our Touch Up is a 30-minute appointment in Indianapolis that focuses on the spots that start giving you away first, like roots, edges, and small areas that need a quick refresh, without booking a full color visit. It’s faster and usually cheaper than redoing everything, and it helps you keep your overall look consistent between bigger appointments. If you’re in the East 56th Street corridor in Warren Township, near Broad Ripple and Irvington, this is the kind of service that fits real life. You get in, we handle the fix, and you’re not stuck in the chair for hours.
Good to know: We keep Touch Up appointments available with convenient morning and evening slots for clients coming in from Lawrence, Warren Park, Beech Grove, Broad Ripple, Irvington, and Cumberland.
What we mean by “Touch Up” (and what we’re not doing)
A Touch Up is about targeted color maintenance. We’re addressing the specific area that’s showing up in the mirror and in photos, not reworking your entire head of hair. That might be your regrowth at the part line, the perimeter, or a small section that needs to match your existing color again.
What it’s not: a major color change, heavy correction, or a full refresh when the overall tone has shifted and needs bigger attention. If you’ve got banding, uneven results, or you’re ready to go lighter, darker, or completely different, we’ll steer you away from a Touch Up and into a service that actually makes sense for the goal. Quick fixes are great, but only when they’re the right fix.
Our focus: keep your current look looking intentional. You leave with the “freshly done” vibe again, without starting over.
The real benefits of a $55 Touch Up when life’s busy
If you’re weighing a Touch Up versus waiting for a full appointment, here’s the practical difference. A Touch Up is designed to give you the most visible improvement for the least amount of time in the chair. That matters when you’re fitting hair into work, kids, and everything else.
1) You buy back time without sacrificing how you look
Our Touch Up is a 30-minute service. That shorter window is the whole point. If you’re commuting across Indianapolis or squeezing an appointment in near the East 56th Street corridor, you can keep your schedule predictable.
2) It keeps your overall color looking consistent between full visits
Most people don’t need “all over” work every time they notice regrowth. A Touch Up targets what’s changed since your last visit. You keep the look you already paid for looking current instead of letting it drift and then having to fix everything at once.
3) Less frequent full color usually means less overall chemical processing
In general, keeping up with smaller maintenance can be gentler than repeatedly processing everything just to chase a few noticeable spots. We’ll talk through what you’ve been doing at home and how your hair’s behaving so we’re maintaining, not overdoing it.
4) It’s a smart move after Indianapolis summer sun, pool days, and humidity
Indianapolis summers can be rough on color. Sun exposure and pool time tend to fade or shift tone, and humidity can make hair feel like it’s “showing everything.” If you’ve just come back from a vacation week or a heavy outdoor weekend, a Touch Up can bring your look back together fast.
5) It’s ideal for event prep when you don’t want a big appointment
Photos and bright indoor lighting don’t play around. Touch Ups are perfect when you’ve got something coming up and you just need the visible regrowth handled so you feel put together again.
A quick reality check: Touch Ups work best when we’re matching what you already have. If your hair needs a full tone correction or you’re changing shades, we’ll recommend a longer appointment instead of forcing a short one.
Signs it’s time to Touch Up now (and signs to wait for full color)
Touch Up tends to be the right call when you like your current color and you’re mainly seeing regrowth at the roots or around the hairline. If you’re noticing your part line looks lighter, your edges are popping in photos, or gray is starting to peek through, that’s usually a Touch Up conversation.
A full appointment makes more sense when the overall color is faded, brassier than you like, or uneven enough that a small correction won’t blend. The same goes for major shifts. Going significantly lighter or darker, fixing a box color situation, or doing heavy correction is not a 30-minute job, and we won’t pretend it is.
Scheduling tip that actually helps
If you live near Broad Ripple, Irvington, or along the East 56th Street corridor, Touch Ups are great for tight windows. Morning and evening slots make it easier to fit in a fast refresh without rearranging your whole day.
