Help! Does 2-3 sessions and $600 sound right for this transition?

Question

Looking for some insight on a transition. I currently have 4-month-old dark brown dye (see below) and I'm trying to reach the goal in the second photo.

A local shop quoted me:

  • Timeline: 2–3 sessions
  • Time: ~4.5 hours per session
  • Cost: $600 total
  • Location: Jersey City, NJ

Does this sound like a standard estimate for this change? I want to make sure I’m setting realistic expectations for my hair health and my budget. Thanks you :)
