Balayage, by hand.
Hand-painted highlights placed where the sun would actually hit your hair — for soft, lived-in dimension that grows out without harsh lines.
Painted, not foiled.
Traditional foil highlights give you uniform stripes. Balayage gives you placement — every painted section is chosen by the artist based on your face, your part, and how your hair falls. The result is dimension that looks like you spent a summer outside, not like you sat in foils.
But great balayage isn't just about the placement. It's about the lift technique, the saturation, the layering — and most importantly, the consultation that happens before any product touches your hair.
We'll talk about your maintenance preference (high or low?), your tone preference (cool, warm, or neutral?), and your grow-out timeline. Then your colorist designs a balayage plan specifically for your goals — not a generic "highlights" service.
Three balayage commitments.
Ends-only is your lowest-commitment option. Full head is full transformation. Partial is the sweet spot for most clients.
Hand-painted brightening on the ends of your hair only. Adds dimension without committing to full-head highlights.

Pricing varies by hair length and density. Long or thick hair may require additional product surcharge — always quoted at consultation.
What to expect.
Balayage is a longer appointment than classic color. Here's how the time breaks down.
Consultation
We discuss your goal, your maintenance commitment, and your tone preference. Then we sketch the placement before mixing anything.
Paint & Process
Each section painted by hand, processed under heat for lift, then rinsed and toned to your custom tone target.
Style & Style Map
Finishing blowout that shows off the dimension. You leave with a style guide for replicating it at home.
Tone holds. Brass doesn't.
The number one complaint about balayage anywhere is "it turned brassy after three weeks." Brass happens when the underlying warm tones surface after the toner fades — and most salons don't use professional-grade toners that hold long enough.
We use professional gloss toners with every balayage service. They're mixed to your specific tone goal (cool, warm, neutral) and they last 8-12 weeks instead of 2-3. By the time the toner fades, you're already due for a touch-up anyway.
