What should I ask for when booking in for balayage hair color?
Guest also ask for baby lights or ombré, which are slightly different to balayage. We can help to clarify which look you want during your complimentary hair color consultation.
How long will my balayage appointment take?
This can vary depending on the length and condition of your hair plus the final look you are after can also vary the length of time it takes. For example, if you have natural hair which hasn’t been colored before and simply want to have a few lighter tones added, it might take just one appointment.
However, if your hair has a build-up of color, it may take more than one appointment to achieve the look you desire. We offer complimentary hair color consultations so pop in and speak with one of our stylists prior to your appointment.
We may suggest a course of conditioning hair treatments such as B3 by Brazilian Blowout to repair damaged and over-processed hair.
