Lighten
Balayage and highlights
Lightness placed where your hair catches the light, grown out so you can wait for your next visit.
Balayage is painted by hand, section by section, for a soft grow-out. Foil highlights are woven for a brighter, more defined blonde. Either way, your colorist plans the placement with you at the consultation, then finishes with a toner. Your price follows your length, density and the steps in your plan. Results vary with your starting shade and your hair's history.

Questions about this service
How often will I come back?
Balayage grows out softly, so many clients return for a toner and a root refresh between full visits. Your colorist suggests a rhythm in your plan.
Is balayage or foil right for me?
Balayage is softer and more lived-in. Foils are brighter and more defined. We decide together at the consultation.
Can I go much lighter in one visit?
It depends on your hair and its history. If your plan needs more than one visit, we tell you before we start.
