I hear this a lot in my chair in Everett: you want color that shows up in natural light, looks intentional in photos, and doesn’t turn into a weekly styling project. That’s exactly why I book The Extras. These are add-on creative color services, like glosses, toners, dimension pieces, and finishing blends, that give immediate depth and shine, help your color hold longer, and usually make getting ready faster. And yes, it’s for real people with real schedules, including commuters and parents coming in from Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Snohomish, Marysville, and Edmonds.
Quick clarity: The Extras is a 240-minute appointment designed for extra blonding beyond a standard partial, classic full dimensional foils, balayage, ombré, lived-in blonde, color blocking, and complex root-shadowing. Price is $340.
What I mean by “The Extras” (and why it’s not just “more foils”)
The Extras is the time I reserve when your hair needs more than a quick partial highlight. Think: higher-impact blonding, more sections for dimension, extra density through the ends, or a finished blend that makes the grow-out look like it was planned. It’s also the right call when your hair is extra long or thick, because rushing thick hair is how you end up with uneven lift, patchy tone, or a blend that falls flat.
I also use this slot for techniques that need breathing room, like balayage and root-shadowing. Those are the details that keep your color looking good through Everett’s marine climate, when rain and humidity can dull shine fast. A strong gloss and a smart shadow at the root tend to keep blondes looking creamy (not brassy) and brunettes looking rich (not faded) longer between visits.
Where this differs from a standard partial: I’m not squeezing your hair into someone else’s timeline. The Extras gives me room for dense placement, clean saturation, and the finishing blend that makes the whole look read as “expensive.”
The Extras benefits you’ll actually notice: shine, depth, and less daily fuss
Here’s the honest value of The Extras. It’s not about being “extra” for the sake of it. It’s about building dimension so your hair looks good in real life, not just under salon lighting.
1) Dimension that shows up in natural light
When I place extra pieces, I’m creating contrast on purpose. That contrast is what makes waves look more defined, ponytails look fuller, and straight hair look glossy instead of one-note. One of my favorite bits of feedback is when someone says their color turned out “super-dimensional” and it’s their favorite they’ve ever had. That’s the goal.

2) Cleaner tone, better shine, and color that holds up to Everett weather
A gloss or toner isn’t just a finishing step. It’s how I refine warmth, add shine, and keep your hair looking fresh when you’re bouncing between damp mornings, indoor heat, and outdoor humidity. That marine air can make color look dull fast. A well-chosen gloss tends to keep the tone looking intentional longer, which can stretch your next touch-up.
3) Fewer panic moments between appointments
A big reason people book The Extras is peace of mind. If you’ve had a previous cut or color go sideways, you already know how stressful it is to feel stuck with it. I’ve had people come in after uneven cuts and splotchy balayage, and they left with a look that matched their inspo again, plus styling tips to get them through grow-out. That’s what I want for you too: a plan you can live with, not a look you’re babysitting.
Cost vs value (real talk): The Extras costs more upfront than a basic partial, but it often buys you time. More intentional dimension and a strong finishing blend can mean fewer “fix it” visits and easier styling at home.
Is The Extras the right move for your hair, or do you need something simpler?
I recommend The Extras when you want extra blonde beyond a standard partial, you’re after a classic full dimensional foil, or you’re going for balayage, ombré, or lived-in blonde and you don’t want the blend to look rushed. It’s also a smart pick if your hair is long or thick and you’ve felt squeezed into shorter appointments before.
And if you’re the person who doesn’t frequent salons, that’s fine. People tell me they felt comfortable and welcomed here, and that they were listened to. I take that seriously. In Downtown Everett’s Broadway District, I want this to feel like an easy stop, not an intimidating one.
You’ll love The Extras if: you want noticeable dimension but low maintenance grow-out, or you’re trying to correct tone and keep it looking clean in Everett’s rainy weather.
It’s also great when: you’re adding bangs or changing your shape and you want the color to support the cut, not fight it.
Why people stick with me at The Untamed Society (and how to book in the Broadway District)
I built The Untamed Society to feel like a safe space. People tell me the vibe is fun, welcoming, inclusive, and that they leave in a better mood than they came in. That matters, especially if you’ve had past salon experiences where you didn’t feel listened to or treated well.
On the technical side, I don’t rush the consultation. I’ll ask about your haircare routine and how much upkeep you actually want, then I’ll build a plan that fits. People have also mentioned coming back a few days later for small tweaks and getting in same-day, because sometimes you live with your hair and realize you want a tiny adjustment. I like when we can do that.
If you’re searching for a hair salon near me in Everett, or you’ve been bouncing between “hair cut near me” and “hair styling near me” trying to find your place, I’d love to take care of you. I also get a lot of questions about facials near me and waxing near me, and yes, our team does beauty services beyond hair too.
Want the fastest next step? Book a quick consult so I can confirm if The Extras is the right time slot for your goals, your hair density, and the level of blonde you want. If you’re already exploring bold ideas, you’ll probably enjoy creative color services in Downtown Everett.
Quick FAQs about The Extras (timing, longevity, and hair feel)
What exactly is included when I book The Extras?
The Extras is a longer color appointment for extra blonding and detailed dimension work. I use it for high-impact partials, classic full dimensional foils, balayage, ombré, lived-in blonde looks, color blocking, and complex root-shadowing. It’s also the right fit for extra long or thick hair, because it gives me enough time to blend and finish the result cleanly.
How long do results from The Extras (gloss/toner/dimension pieces) typically last?
It depends on your starting color, how light we go, and your home care, but a gloss or toner is usually the first thing you’ll notice fading. Dimension pieces and a root-shadow blend often look good longer because the grow-out is built into the design. When you tell me your upkeep comfort level, I’ll set expectations and recommend a schedule that makes sense for you.
Will The Extras damage my hair or make it feel dry?
Any lightening service has the potential to dry hair out if it’s pushed too far or cared for poorly at home. My job is to keep your hair goals and your hair health in the same conversation. I’ll choose techniques that fit your hair type, and I’ll be straightforward if a certain level of blonde isn’t the best idea right now.
Are The Extras worth it if I commute in Everett’s rainy weather?
Often, yes. Everett’s rain and humidity can make color look dull faster, especially blondes and high-lift tones. The Extras gives me time for the finishing steps, like a gloss and a strong blend, that help your color look richer and shinier even when you’re in and out of wet weather.
How much extra time should I add to my appointment for The Extras?
The Extras is booked as a 240-minute service. If you’re planning your day, I recommend keeping your schedule flexible right after, since timing can shift a bit depending on hair density, lifting speed, and how much toning and blending we do.
