What a Retouch Involves
This service is a root touch-up for hair that has previously been relaxed. At TBQ Creations we apply relaxer only to the new growth area — limited to up to 2 1/2 inches — to blend roots with the treated lengths. A basic wash and set is included; extra relaxer beyond the limit carries an upcharge.
Expect the appointment to take about 90 MINUTES; the starting price is $95. Your stylist will assess previous chemical history, hair condition, and new growth before deciding how much product or time is needed. Clients frequently note professional, timely service and visible improvement when touch-ups are done correctly, though additional time or fees may apply for more extensive correction.
Factors That Shape Results
Results depend heavily on your hair’s chemical history and current condition. Previous color, repeated relaxer cycles or heat styling affect how porous and fragile hair is, which changes processing time and technique. In Grandview’s humid summers, relaxed hair may require different finishing steps to maintain smoothness between appointments.
The 2 1/2 inch new-growth limit exists to avoid overlapping relaxer on previously processed lengths. Overlapping can weaken hair and affect uniformity, so if growth exceeds that limit your stylist will recommend additional application and assess an upcharge. This trade-off prioritizes hair integrity while delivering a cleaner root-to-length transition.
Booking, Timing, and Preparation
TBQ Creations sits near the 124th Street and Blue Ridge retail corridor, an easy stop for commuters on I-49 / US-71. We offer after-work and weekend appointment times that fit family schedules and errands, serving Grandview, Kansas City, Raytown, Belton, Unity Village and Hickman Mills for convenient touch-ups before local events.
Touch-up demand peaks in May, June, November and December for graduations, vacations and holiday gatherings, so book early during those months. Appointments last 90 MINUTES and include a basic wash and set; the stylist will confirm whether additional relaxer or extra time is required and note any applicable upcharge at consultation.
