Our balayage
What Is Balayage?
Balayage comes from the French word for "to sweep." Instead of wrapping hair in foils from the root, your colorist paints lightener by hand where the sun would naturally hit. The color is softest at the root and brightest toward the ends, so it blends into your natural shade.
Because there is no harsh line at the root, balayage grows out gently. Not sure which technique fits you? Read balayage vs highlights.
Caramel and Honey Balayage
Warm ribbons of caramel and honey on brown hair. Soft, rich color that is easy to grow out.
Blonde Balayage
A brighter, beachy blonde painted where the sun would hit. Going much lighter? See our blonde specialist.
Balayage on Dark Hair
Caramel, honey and bronze tones on dark brown and black hair. A big lift may be planned over two visits to keep your hair healthy.
Face-Framing Balayage
Brightness placed around your face for a fresh look with less color. An easy first step into balayage.
Partial or Full Balayage
Partial adds light to the top and sides; full adds dimension all over. We help you choose at your consultation.
Gloss and Toner Refresh
Already have balayage? A gloss or toner refreshes tone and shine between full visits.
Not sure which style suits you? We will help you choose.

Questions
Balayage Questions, Answered
How long does a balayage appointment take?
It depends on your length, your thickness and how much lightening you want. Most balayage visits take a few hours. We give you a time estimate at your consultation, so you can plan your day.
How long does balayage last?
Because there is no hard line at the root, balayage grows out softly, and many clients go several months between full appointments. A gloss or toner between visits keeps the tone fresh. Here is how to make balayage last.
Does balayage damage your hair?
Any lightening changes the hair, but balayage usually lightens less hair than a full head of foils. We check the condition of your hair first, use a gentle approach, and give you a simple care routine for home.
Can you do balayage on dark hair?
Yes. Caramel, honey and bronze tones look beautiful on dark brown and black hair. If you want to go much lighter, we may plan it over two visits to keep your hair healthy.
What is the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage is painted by hand for a soft, natural blend. Highlights use foils for brighter, more even lift from the root. Read our full guide to balayage vs highlights.
Can I get balayage on short hair?
Yes. Balayage works on bobs and lobs too. On shorter hair we often focus the brightness around your face and on the ends, so it looks natural as it grows.
How much does balayage cost in Dallas?
It depends on your hair's length, thickness and starting color, and on whether you add a toner or a cut. You get an exact quote at your free consultation, and new clients get 20% off their first visit. Our guide on how much it costs to color your hair explains what shapes the price.
