Hair coloring — find a colorist for balayage or highlights
Hair coloring by a colorist: grown-out roots, a soft balayage or going from dark to blonde. A colorist needs to know where to start, so in an order describe your current color and what you dyed it with before, and colorists will send responses. Or compare their work and reviews yourself.
Hair colorists
How much hair coloring costs
What affects the price
Length and amount of color
Colorists often price by hair length or by the amount of color and lightener used, in grams.
Coloring technique
A single-process color takes less time than balayage, shatush or AirTouch, where the colorist works through the hair section by section.
Your starting color
Going blonde from black or dark dyed hair is harder than from light brown: it often takes a color remover and lightening in several stages.
Hair protection and toning
Toning after lightening and products that protect the hair during the process may be included in the price or paid for separately.
Trim and styling
Some colorists include a trim, blow-dry and styling after coloring in the price, others charge for them separately.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a hair colorist
- 1
Photos taken in daylight
Studio lighting and filters change the shade in a photo. Look in the portfolio for before-and-after shots taken in daylight, on hair similar to yours.
- 2
Consultation before coloring
Before coloring, the colorist should ask what you have colored your hair with before and tell you whether the shade you want takes one visit or several.
- 3
Skin sensitivity test
Hair color manufacturers advise checking how your skin reacts to the product two days before each coloring. Ask whether the colorist does this test.
- 4
Color and lightener
Ask which products the colorist works with and whether they protect the hair during lightening, especially if it is already colored.

Reviews on how the color lasts
In client reviews, look for how the color looked a few weeks after coloring: whether it turned brassy or the tone washed out.
What to put in the order
What you need: roots or full color, balayage, highlights or toning
Your hair now: length, thickness, natural color, whether there is gray

Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
