Balayage is a popular freehand coloring technique that involves painting hair dye directly onto designated sections of hair. It creates seamless blends of varying tonal reflections throughout the lengths of the hair, either in combination with your natural hair color or ‘built into’ an all-over colored base.
Results can vary from subtle to bold, whether a natural sun-kissed effect or a strong dipped ends fashion accessory. It’s your choice. Commitment level is low, as Balayage does not focus on the roots of the hair.
Service time: Approx. 1 hour 30 mins+ *
Great for: Creating a strong contrast between the roots and tips of the hair, accentuating your hair shape.
*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.
A root retouch color, also known as a root touch-up, is a hair coloring technique that focuses on applying color to the new growth of hair at the roots. This process helps to blend the roots with the rest of the hair, ensuring a seamless transition between the natural hair color and the previously colored hair.
The main purpose of a root retouch color is to maintain a consistent, uniform color from root to tip, which makes it appear as if your hair has not grown out since the initial coloring. A proper retouch routine can also help minimize damage caused by excessive coloring, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful hair color without compromising your hair's health.

Face framing refers to strategically placing individual highlights around the face to create a flattering and illuminating effect. Face framing is also a foiling version with less commitment than a partial or complete foil.

Foils, also known as highlights, are a hair coloring technique that involves sectioning off strands of hair and applying color to those sections using small, rectangular pieces of foil to separate the colored sections from the rest of the hair. This technique adds dimension, depth, and texture to the hair by creating lightened strands that contrast with the base color.
Partial Foil: Partial foil, also known as half-head foil or partial highlights, involve coloring from the crown of the head and framing the face.
Full Foil: Full foil, also known as full head foil or full highlights, involves highlighting and coloring evenly throughout from the top of the head to the nape of the neck.
Service time: : Approx. 1 hour (Partial) 2 hours (Full)
Great for: Partial Foils are best for those who want a more subtle, natural-looking effect or for those who want to add dimension and depth to their hair without committing to an all-over color change.

A root retouch with pull through color is a hair coloring technique that combines two processes: a root touch-up and pulling the color through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. This technique is used to blend the new growth at the roots with the rest of the hair while also refreshing the overall hair color.
The process begins with a root touch-up, where hair dye is applied to the regrowth at the base of the hair shaft, also known as the "roots." After the root touch-up, the hair color is then "pulled through" the mid-lengths and ends of the hair. This step helps to refresh the hair color, add shine, and ensure an even distribution of color from root to tip.
Service time: Approx. 1 hour 30 mins
Great for: Beneficial for those who want to extend the time between full hair coloring appointments or for those who have hair highlights.
*Service time can vary depending on the length/density of hair and the stylist’s timing needs.
