Highlight Services
Balayage
Balayage provides natural-looking highlights through an artistic painting technique, giving your hair a sun-kissed appearance as if you’ve spent the summer on the beach. Ideal for those seeking a customized, soft grow-out look.
Highlights
Whether you want a full highlight for an all-over lighter look or a partial highlight to add subtle brightness and depth, each service is customized to complement your hair, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
Fashion Colors
For those people wanting a whole head or just a pop of Purple or pink to their hair. Fashion color appointments are a little longer and more expensive because you are lightening the hair first and then putting on the desired color after.

How to Prep for a Coloring Appointment
Our expert colorists use top-quality products and personalized techniques to ensure your color is vibrant, long-lasting, and perfectly suited to you. A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring the best results for your hair transformation. Follow these simple steps before your appointment to help your stylist achieve your dream shade while keeping your hair healthy:
- Skip the Shampoo: Avoid washing your hair 24-48 hours before your coloring session. Natural oils protect your scalp and help the color absorb more evenly.
- Bring Inspiration Photos: Have a specific shade in mind? Bring reference photos to ensure you and your stylist are on the same page.
- Be Honest About Your Hair History: Let your stylist know about any previous color treatments, chemical processes, or damage. This helps them choose the right technique and formula for the best results.
- Deep Condition (If Needed): If your hair is dry or brittle, use a deep conditioning treatment a few days before your appointment to strengthen it.
- Avoid Heavy Styling Products: Skip leave-in conditioners, dry shampoo, or excessive styling products before your visit, as buildup can affect how the color processes.
- Plan for Time: Depending on the service, your appointment may take a few hours. Bring entertainment or snacks if needed!
- Wear the Right Clothing: Choose a top with a loose neckline or a button-up to avoid smudging your fresh color when changing.
By taking these steps, you’ll set yourself up for a smooth, stress-free coloring experience with beautiful, long-lasting results.
