Who this is for
Is this right for you?
- Anyone wanting low-maintenance, sun-kissed lightness.
- Clients seeking soft brightness around the face.
- Guests transitioning from foiled highlights to something more natural.
- Brunettes wanting dimension without a hard regrowth line.
Let’s have a chat first if
When a consultation is the kindest first step.
- First-time clients with very dark or previously coloured hair, without a consultation. The journey often takes more than one visit, and we will be honest about it.
- Anyone with significantly compromised condition. Bond-building and treatment work first, balayage second.
- Clients hoping for a uniform, edge-to-edge platinum blonde. A foiled service may suit better.
We are happy to say no when a service is not right. Your hair’s long-term health always comes first.
What to expect
Your appointment, gently mapped.
Each visit follows the same considered rhythm. Nothing rushed, nothing assumed, and you are looked after at every step.
Step 01· Consultation
A tone and dimension map
We design where the brightness should land, agree the depth of contrast and write the plan down so there are no surprises.
Step 02· Preparation
Patch test and condition assessment
Booked 48 hours ahead. We also assess strength and porosity so we can plan bond-protection from the start.
Step 03· Service
Hand-painted lightener
Each section painted by hand, watched closely, processed gently. No two heads of balayage are ever identical.
Step 04· Finish
Bespoke toner and finish
A toner to refine warmth, a deep-conditioning rinse and an optional cut and finish to complete the look.
Step 05· Aftercare
A routine designed for soft grow-out
Balayage is built to soften beautifully. We will explain exactly how to look after the result.
Step 06· Rebooking
A gentle plan for next time
Most clients return every 12 to 16 weeks, with a 20-minute gloss between visits to refresh tone and shine.

Pricing
From £185, honestly explained.
Balayage is bespoke, so ‘from’ pricing reflects a typical first session on shoulder-length hair in good condition. Bigger transformations may take two or three considered visits. A consultation lets us quote properly and plan a kind, safe path.
Because every head of hair is different, we will quote precisely at consultation. There are no surprises at the till.

FAQ

Highlights use foils and create defined brightness. Balayage is hand-painted and gives a softer, sunlit finish with no harsh regrowth.
Sometimes. We will be transparent about the journey. Your hair’s health always comes first, and many transformations take two or three visits.
Balayage suits most textures and lengths. We adjust placement and product strength for fine, coarse, curly and previously coloured hair.
Most clients return every 12 to 16 weeks for a full refresh, with a gloss in between to keep tones fresh and the cuticle smooth.
We will start with bond-building and a treatment plan. Healthy hair lightens beautifully, compromised hair can struggle. We are happy to wait until the time is right.
