Color & balayage

Color, planned properly

Hand-painted balayage, blondes built over sessions rather than forced in one, and colour correction from the person other salons send their problems to.

The consultation

Free, and genuinely useful.

Every new color client starts with a free consultation. It takes about half an hour and you leave with a strand test, a written quote and a plan — including how long it takes, what it costs and how often you will need to come back.

Priya will also tell you when the answer is "not yet". Hair that has been boxed-dyed black or over-bleached needs repair before it needs color, and pretending otherwise is how people end up with breakage and a four-figure correction bill.

  • Balayage painted freehand — soft grow-out, fewer salon visits
  • Blondes built across sessions to protect the hair
  • Gloss and toner refreshes between full appointments
  • Color correction, quoted honestly and booked over as many sessions as it takes

Between appointments

Keeping the color you paid for

Wash less, wash cooler

Hot water opens the cuticle and lets pigment out. Two or three washes a week in tepid water will hold a gloss noticeably longer than a daily hot shower.

Book the gloss

A gloss at roughly the halfway point costs a fraction of a full color and makes the whole thing last months rather than weeks. It is the single best value on the menu.

Ask about your rhythm

Balayage might need you back every three months; a root touch-up every four weeks. Priya sets a rebooking reminder to your actual rhythm, and only if you ask for one.

Good to know

Questions we get asked

How long does balayage take?
Three hours, which is why the booking system reserves six consecutive thirty-minute slots for it. That includes the painting, the processing, a toner and a full finish.
Can you take me blonde in one appointment?
Sometimes, and often not. It depends entirely on what is already on your hair and what condition it is in. Priya will tell you at the free consultation, and if it needs two or three sessions she will say so before you book, not halfway through.
How often do I need to come back?
Balayage is designed to grow out softly, so every three to four months is typical. A root touch-up is more like every four weeks. A gloss halfway between appointments makes either last noticeably longer.
Do you fix color from another salon?
Yes — corrections are a large part of what Priya does. Bring photographs of what happened and, if you have it, whatever was used. Corrections are always quoted at consultation and are often booked over more than one session.
