Blending and covering are different services
Covering gray means a single process color applied to the whole head. It takes you to one all-over shade and it needs redoing as soon as the roots show. Single process at Red Market is $150 for 90 minutes, or $160 in INOA, the ammonia-free line.
Blending is softer. It keeps a tone close to your natural color and softens the transition instead of flattening it, so regrowth reads as a shadow rather than a line. For a lot of guests, especially anyone who is not ready to be one color, it is the more honest option.
The services that do it, with prices
Men’s color is $125 for 30 minutes and is the men’s gray-blending service on our menu: a tonal change worked so it does not read as dyed. A root melt is $95 for 15 minutes and blurs the line between your regrowth and your length. Single process is $150 for 90 minutes when you want full coverage, and INOA single process is $160 for 90 minutes in an ammonia-free formula.
A gloss and toner is $95 for 30 minutes, the finishing step that sets tone and shine, and after a color service it is $55 for 15 minutes. If you are blending rather than covering, the root melt and the gloss are usually the two that do most of the work.
Root melt, and why it changes the grow-out
A root melt is a 15-minute service priced at $95. It is not a full color: it softens the edge where your regrowth meets the length, which is the part that makes a color look overdue. Booked between full services, it gives you a softer grow-out without committing to a whole head of color.
If your gray is concentrated at the hairline or the part, tell your colorist. Placement is what decides whether blending looks natural or patchy, and it is set at the consultation, not at the bowl.
For men, and for anyone growing into silver
Men’s color is $125 for 30 minutes and is booked as its own service, in the same chairs as everything else. Men’s cuts are $110, $125 with Rogelio and $150 with Jean Marc, and men’s keratin is $250 if humidity is the other half of the problem.
If you are moving toward your natural silver rather than away from it, say that at the consultation. Blending can be the first step of growing it out, but the plan has to be set deliberately or the in-between stage looks accidental.

What guests say
I always get so many compliments on my hair! A huge shoutout to Miguel, who does my color. He genuinely cares about every single detail, and it truly shows in his work. Hair is so important, so I really appreciate that he takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. He listens, gives honest recommendations, and consistently delivers beautiful results.
Fallon Fitzpatrick is the best hair colorist I’ve ever been to. She’s so detail-oriented and you can tell she genuinely cares about getting everything just right. I came in with super brassy, orange-toned hair and she completely transformed it into the prettiest blonde. Hair is 100% her passion and it shows every time. I always leave feeling like my hair is a masterpiece!

Frequently asked
How much does gray blending cost in Miami?
At Red Market Miami: men’s color $125 (30 min), root melt $95 (15 min), single process $150 (90 min), INOA single process $160 (90 min), gloss or toner $95 (30 min) or $55 when added to a color service. Color consultations are complimentary.
What is the difference between gray blending and covering gray?
Covering gray is a single process applied all over ($150, or $160 in INOA) that takes the whole head to one shade and needs redoing as the roots grow. Blending keeps a tone close to your natural color and softens the line between regrowth and length, so the grow-out is quieter. Your colorist will recommend one at the complimentary consultation.
What is a root melt?
A root melt is a $95, 15-minute service that blurs the line between your regrowth and your colored length so it grows out softer. It is not a full color and does not replace one. It is usually booked between color services, or with a gloss.
