A plan before the appointment

Your color starts
with a conversation.

  1. 01

    Share where you’re starting.

    Your color history, a current photo, and the look you have in mind.

  2. 02

    Make a plan with Amy.

    She’ll confirm the service, price, and time before your appointment.

  3. 03

    Leave with an upkeep plan.

    Know when to refresh your tone and when to add more brightness.

Between lightening appointments, a hair gloss refresh may be enough to renew tone and shine.

A few good questions.

How much does balayage cost?

Partial balayage starts at $255 and full balayage at $300, both with styling included. Long, thick, or previously lightened hair usually costs more because it takes more product and time. Amy confirms your price after reviewing your photos and color history.

Does Amy do blonde balayage?

Yes. It is the same hand-painted technique, taken lighter and toned warmer or cooler to suit you. If you want to be blonde all over rather than have painted pieces, that is a blonding appointment, and Amy will tell you which fits.

How long does a balayage appointment take?

About 2 hours for partial and 3 hours for full, because there is painting, processing, toning, and a finish. Long, thick, or previously colored hair takes longer. Amy books the time your hair needs after reviewing your request.

Will brunette balayage look natural as it grows?

Yes. The lighter pieces are painted to blend into your natural color, so there is no hard line as it grows out, which is what lets you go longer between appointments. Tell Amy how often you want to come back and she will plan around it.

Can balayage fix old color or banding?

Sometimes, but old color and banding usually need correcting first. Lightener behaves differently on colored hair, and painting over a band can make it more obvious. Amy will tell you whether it can all happen in one longer appointment or needs two visits.

Am I booking a confirmed appointment?

This starts an appointment request. Amy follows up to confirm your plan and availability.

More about brunette balayage, placement & upkeep

Who balayage is best for.

Balayage suits you if you want movement, softness, and a grow-out without a harsh line, whether you are brunette or blonde.

  • Brunettes who want brightness around the face without going blonde.
  • Blondes and light brunettes who want sun-kissed pieces blended at the root, without lightening everything.
  • Anyone who wants to go longer between color appointments.

Partial balayage starts at $255 and full balayage at $300, styling included. Amy confirms your price after reviewing your hair.

How Amy plans balayage.

Good balayage is more than painting on brightness. Amy looks at your current color, the tone you want, how often you will come back, and how much contrast you will still like after a few washes.

  1. 01

    History first

    The request asks about old color, box dye, allergies, and how often you want to come in, plus a few photos.

  2. 02

    Placed for your cut

    Brightness goes where it suits your haircut and face, so it reads as dimension rather than random light pieces.

  3. 03

    Tone and finish

    Tone is adjusted after lightening, then your hair is styled so you can see how it moves. You leave knowing when to come back.

  4. 04

    Honest about limits

    If old color or fragile ends limit what is safe today, Amy will tell you and plan the rest for another visit.

Old box dye or uneven bands may need color correction before more lightening.
