Balayage & gloss
Hand-painted lightness, soft regrowth line, toned and glossed in the same appointment.
Painted freehand, without foils on the top sections, so the light lands where the sun would put it and the regrowth line stays soft enough to skip a season. The tone is chosen after the lift, in front of the mirror, once we see the real base underneath.
Who it suits
- Natural or previously balayaged hair wanting lightness without a hard line
- Anyone who can only come back twice a year
- Blondes, bronde and caramel work, see us first if your hair is box-dyed
What happens
- Freehand painting, section by section, bond protector in the mix
- Lift watched at the bowl, never on a timer alone
- Wash, acid gloss chosen after the lift, treatment and blow-dry
Good to know
Three hours in the chair, bring something to read, coffee is on us. Price rises with length and with how much lift the hair needs. Box colour and henna need a strand test before we book you.
How the appointment goes
Consultation, dry
Ten minutes sitting up before the basin: what your hair does on its own, what you want it to do, and what the price will be.
Basin and care
Shampoo chosen for your scalp, a proper massage, and the treatment your lengths ask for rather than the one on promotion.
The work itself
Cut, colour or treatment, with the same stylist from start to finish. You are shown the result section by section, not only at the end.
Finish and the how-to
The finish, then the two moves to repeat at home, and the honest answer on which product you actually need.
Before you come
- A first colour needs a patch test 48 hours before the appointment.
- Bring photos of what you like and of what you do not, both help.
- Running late? Call us, after fifteen minutes the slot may have to be shortened.
Ask for an appointment
