Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when booking balayage?
You’ll start with a proper consultation about your hair history, your goal, and how much upkeep you want. We’ll agree a plan for placement and tone before any colour goes on, so there are no surprises. If a skin test is needed, we’ll let you know in advance.
Is balayage a good choice if I want low-maintenance colour?
Yes, it’s a popular option if you want a softer grow-out rather than a strong regrowth line. We’ll tailor the look to your routine, so it stays polished even when life is busy.
How often will I need to come back to maintain balayage?
Most people refresh balayage less often than traditional all-over colour, but timing depends on your starting point and the look you want. We’ll be honest about what’s realistic for you and suggest a schedule you can stick to.
Can balayage work on previously coloured or darker hair?
Often, yes, but it depends on what’s already on your hair and how light you’re aiming to go. We’ll talk you through what’s achievable in good condition, and plan a route that avoids pushing your hair too far, too fast.
How do I look after my hair between balayage appointments?
Use colour-safe products, keep heat styling gentle, and prioritise moisture to maintain shine and softness. We’ll recommend a simple home routine that suits your hair, so your colour stays wearable right up to your next visit.
