What our clients say.
Independently verified reviews from SalonSpy.
Still weighing it up?
Never had balayage before?
We'll walk you through everything at your consultation. No question is a silly one.
Unsure whether balayage is right for you?
We'll recommend the option that suits your hair, not simply the service you asked for.
Worried about damage?
Protecting the health of your hair is always part of our recommendation.
Concerned about maintenance?
We'll be upfront about how often you'll need appointments, so there are no surprises.
Good to know.
How long does a balayage appointment take?
Typically 3 to 4 hours, depending on your hair length, fullness and the colour plan. A rough dry is included; any toner or blow-dry upgrade is booked alongside it and charged separately.
How often will I need to come back?
Some clients refresh their balayage every 4 to 6 months, with a toner visit between. Brighter colour, your starting shade and how you like your roots to look can mean more frequent visits.
How much does balayage cost?
Our balayage / ombre colour service is £140 with Sophia and £170 with Faith. That includes a rough dry. Toner, and a blow-dry or cut & blow-dry upgrade, are booked and charged separately.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Highlights usually lighten selected sections in foils. Balayage aims for a blended change through the lengths; we may use different techniques, including foils, depending on your hair. Neither option has the same upkeep for everyone.
Do I need a consultation before booking?
For new balayage clients, or if you have existing colour, yes. It lets us complete a skin test and plan the appointment properly.
What aftercare do I need?
Colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, a heat protectant, and a periodic toner refresh. We’ll explain which products to use and when to book your next colour appointment.
