If you've noticed the trip to the hair salon has gotten more expensive recently, it's not just in your head. Between August 2019 and August 2025, the cost of "haircuts and other personal services" increased by 32% , according to year-over-year Consumer Price Index data (we pulled the August reports for the past six years). In other words, if you paid $200 at the salon in 2019, you're paying $264 now (if not more).
Schwarzkopf® Keratin at-home hair color products are the smart alternative to those inflated salon prices. And thanks to a Walmart Cash offer, you can get the convenience of professional quality at-home hair color and touch-ups for less than $20 after a rebate. Here's how.

-
Once the Walmart Cash is in your account, you can use it to buy anything at Walmart.
For less than $20, you can avoid pricey holiday season salon visits.
There's also a $3.50 Walmart Cash offer for Schwarzkopf® Keratin Root 2-in-1 Color and Thickening Spray (2-ounce bottle). That product is $11.97* full price, so the rebate brings your total cost down to $8.47.*
If you pick up a box of Schwarzkopf® Keratin Color and a can of Keratin Root Temporary Spray , you'll pay $17.44* total after rebates. That means you can color your hair and cover grays between colorings for less than $20*.
Salon costs vary, but in my area, color treatments start at $100, and touch-ups start at $60. So my holiday hair color treatment and touch-up would cost me at least $160, not counting a tip.
Keep in mind, salon color services vs. at-home dye isn't an exact apples-to-apples comparison. At the salon, you get the expertise of a trained professional, a customized color formulation, and the benefit of someone applying precise technique (and doing the work for you). That all contributes to the overall result and longevity of your hair color.
But if you're on a budget, paying $17.44* at Walmart (after rebate) for Schwarzkopf ® 's regimen is an 89%* discount compared to the salon. That price difference will vary based on location and salon prices.
You'll save without sacrificing quality.
Schwarzkopf® Keratin hair color products are known for their 3-Step Bond Enforcing System which creates bonds and strengthens your hair, leaving your hair 5x** stronger after coloring. What are those three steps? It all starts with their unique pre-color serum that contains vitamin B6 and collagen; this serum will protect and prime your hair before coloring. Step two, the keratin-infused color cream, gives your hair color and shine. And finally, their exclusive K-Bond Plex® conditioner repairs your hair's structure and coats the hair surface after the coloration process for strong and healthy-looking hair. Translation, you get long-lasting, rich color and hair that feels healthy.
Everyone will think you went to the salon, but you'll know you got professional-quality color at a price that's an absolute steal. What story will you tell?
