Professional Hair Design is a full-service salon in Oklahoma City that specializes in color correction, balayage, and hair extensions, serving clients who want detailed styling work from experienced stylists rather than walk-in cuts.
Professional Hair Design operates as a mid-sized salon with a focus on longer appointments and custom color work. Unlike neighborhood salons built around quick cuts and standard services, this salon's business model prioritizes stylists who spend 90 minutes to three hours on a single client for color transformations or extension application. The salon employs stylists at varying experience levels, though the majority have five or more years in the industry. This structure means pricing scales noticeably based on stylist tenure and the complexity of what you're requesting.
Color services start around $65 for a single-process root touch-up with a junior or mid-level stylist and climb to $120 to $180 for full-head balayage or dimensional color work with senior stylists. Color correction for previously damaged or incorrectly colored hair runs $150 to $300 depending on how much lifting and toning is required. Extensions installed by tape-in or sew-in method typically cost $300 to $600 for a full head, plus $80 to $150 per unit for fill-ins every six to eight weeks as hair grows out. Standard cut and style runs $40 to $65 depending on stylist level. Prices are appointment-based; call to confirm current rates, as color product costs shift seasonally.
Professional Hair Design occupies a middle tier between chain salons like Supercuts and high-end independent colorists who work out of private studios. Compared to Great Clips or Sports Clips locations scattered across OKC, Professional Hair Design charges more but offers continuity with the same stylist and time allocated for complex work. Against salons like Salon Lofts, where independent stylists rent booth space and set their own prices, Professional Hair Design provides more uniformity in experience and easier scheduling through a single front desk. If you want balayage or extensions, you'll spend more here than at a budget chain but less per service than booking a colorist specializing exclusively in bridal work or editorial looks.
This salon works best for clients who have already decided what they want and can commit to a longer appointment, or who trust a stylist to guide them through a color or extension decision over multiple visits. People seeking quick 15-minute trims, walk-in availability, or a single service on a tight budget should try a chain location instead. Clients with textured or coily hair should confirm stylist expertise in that area when booking; not all stylists at Professional Hair Design specialize in curl-pattern work, and calling ahead prevents a mismatch.
Call to book an appointment at least a week ahead if you want a specific stylist. During intake, describe your goal using photos if possible; color appointments include a patch test if you've never been to the salon or if the stylist is new to you. Expect a consultation of 10 to 20 minutes before work begins. If you're uncertain about a style or color, ask the stylist to show you reference images from their portfolio during this time. Extensions consultations require discussing hair type, wear schedule, and maintenance commitment; stylists typically recommend a patch test for sensitive scalps before a full application.
Professional Hair Design operates Tuesday through Saturday, with hours typically 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday; closed Sundays and Mondays. Verify hours before visiting, as holiday schedules and individual stylist availability can shift. Street and lot parking is available near the location. The salon does not accept walk-ins; all services require an appointment booked by phone or their online system.
Professional Hair Design justifies its place in Oklahoma City by maintaining consistent stylist experience and handling the high-touch color and extension work that chain salons cannot accommodate without long wait times or stylist turnover.
