How it works

From your first visit to keeping your balayage looking its best.
  1. 01

    Patch test & consultation

    New colour clients need a patch test and consultation first. It takes 5–10 minutes and must be booked in advance, as it can’t be done on the day.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Come with freshly washed hair and bring inspiration photos. Wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting stained, and avoid hooded tops.

  3. 03

    Your appointment

    We hand-paint your balayage for soft, natural-looking dimension, protect your hair with a bonding treatment, then tone it to your perfect shade.

  4. 04

    Aftercare

    Wait at least 48 hours before washing, and book regular toner appointments to keep your shade fresh.

  • Wait at least 48 hours before washing after colour
  • Rinse with lukewarm or cool water
  • Use a deep conditioner or hair mask weekly

“I had my hair balayage done and I’m absolutely in love with the results! The team were brilliant — so attentive, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole appointment. They really listened to what I wanted and paid attention to every detail. The service was amazing, and I left feeling so happy and confident with my hair. Thank you so much for the beautiful work — I highly recommend!”
