Scizzor Works Hair Dezigns is a full-service salon in Oklahoma City that specializes in color work, balayage, and hair extensions, with particular strength in styling and maintaining longer lengths. The salon operates as a destination for clients seeking advanced color technique and extension application rather than a walk-in quickcut shop, and it maintains a smaller team model focused on consistency with individual stylists.
The salon's primary focus is color work across all levels of complexity, from dimensional balayage to solid coverage and root touch-ups. Hair extensions represent a significant part of the business; the salon works with both tape-in and sew-in methods and handles extension application, maintenance appointments, and removal. Longer hair styling, including blow-outs, waves, and upstyles for events, rounds out the core service menu. The salon does standard cuts across all hair types, though the marketing and client base tend toward longer styles and color-forward looks.
Full color services typically range from $60 to $150 depending on length, coverage area, and technique. Balayage and dimensional color work fall in the $120 to $180 range. Hair extensions run $250 to $600 for initial application depending on length, volume, and method; maintenance appointments for extension clients (root touch-ups, extension repositioning) are typically $50 to $100 and should be scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks. Blow-outs start at $40; upstyles for events run $75 to $120. Haircuts begin at $35 for a basic cut and scale upward for specialty work like layers or texturing. Prices can shift seasonally or by stylist level; confirm current rates when booking.
Scizzor Works competes in the mid-range market, positioning itself above quickcut chains like Great Clips or Supercuts but below luxury-tier salons like those in Bricktown's high-end district. Compared to salons like Salon Concepts or The Salon Studio, which also emphasize color and extensions, Scizzor Works maintains a smaller, more personalized roster of stylists, which can mean easier continuity with the same colorist but potentially longer wait times during peak season. For clients specifically seeking extension specialists, the salon's tape-in and sew-in capability matches most mid-market Oklahoma City options; the choice often comes down to stylist personality and availability rather than technique range. For balayage work, the salon competes directly with other skilled color studios; the practical difference is usually the individual colorist's eye rather than the salon name, so first-visit consultations matter.
This salon works best for clients with longer hair or those planning to grow their hair out, for anyone seeking consistent color work over months or years, and for people who value working repeatedly with the same stylist. It suits clients open to extension work as a growth strategy or for adding volume. It does not serve clients seeking a true walk-in experience or those needing a cut within an hour. It is not the place for clients who prefer a large salon with multiple chair options during a single appointment or for those on a very tight budget who prioritize the lowest possible price over stylist consistency.
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early for a consultation. The stylist will assess your hair's current condition, color history if relevant, and what you are trying to achieve. If you are considering extensions, expect a discussion of method options, realistic timelines, and maintenance commitment. Color consultations often involve showing phone photos or Pinterest boards of desired results. If you need a cut as part of your first appointment, the stylist will determine the order of services; typically color comes before a cut, not after. First appointments tend to run longer than standing appointments, so block extra time.
Scizzor Works operates by appointment only; walk-ins are not accommodated. Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, typically 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., though holiday closures and individual stylist schedules may vary; call ahead to confirm availability. The salon is located in a strip-center setting with standard parking immediately adjacent. No formal validation system exists, but parking is free and rarely crowded. Street parking is available if the lot fills, though this is uncommon. Public transit is limited; most clients drive.
Booking is done by phone or through the salon's social media; online booking systems may not be available, so direct contact is the most reliable method. The salon typically books 4 to 6 weeks ahead for new color clients during busy seasons (spring, before-wedding months), so plan accordingly if you have a specific date in mind.
Scizzor Works fills a specific niche in Oklahoma City's salon landscape for clients willing to plan ahead and commit to one stylist; it is not a convenience choice, but it is built on the idea that good color and extension work deserve dedicated time and consistent hands.
