Balayage is loved because it grows out softly and naturally. Most clients schedule a larger refresh every three to six months, depending on how light they want to remain, how quickly their hair grows, and how much contrast they prefer. Glosses, toners, trims, or face-framing touch-ups may be recommended between full appointments to keep the color looking fresh.

The cost of hair extensions depends on the amount of hair needed, desired length, installation method, natural-hair density, and the final look you want to achieve. Because every transformation is customized, accurate pricing is provided after a consultation. Your consultation will include a hair assessment, color match, method recommendation, maintenance expectations, and personalized quote.

Every extension appointment begins with a personalized consultation.

Katie works with professional, salon-grade extension systems selected for their hair quality, color options, comfort, durability, and ability to blend naturally with each client's hair. The exact brand and method recommended may vary based on your natural density, texture, lifestyle, desired length, and maintenance preferences.

Most blonde clients benefit from a toner or gloss approximately every six to eight weeks, although the timing depends on the shade of blonde, washing routine, heat styling, sun exposure, water quality, and how quickly warmth returns. A toner refresh can neutralize unwanted brassiness, restore shine, and keep the color looking polished between larger lightening appointments.

Using too much purple shampoo can sometimes leave blonde hair dry, dull, or overly cool, so your stylist can recommend the right schedule and products for your hair.

Keratin or smoothing treatments may be appropriate for highlighted hair, but the answer depends on the condition of the hair, the treatment formula, and how recently the hair was lightened. Previously highlighted or fragile hair should be carefully assessed before adding another chemical and high-heat service.

Katie will evaluate your hair's strength, porosity, previous color history, and overall condition before recommending a smoothing treatment.

A balayage appointment commonly takes approximately three hours. The exact timing depends on your starting color, hair length and density, desired lightness, correction work, toner, haircut, treatments, and styling.

Major transformations or corrective-color appointments may require more time or more than one visit. Katie will provide a clearer time estimate after reviewing your current hair and inspiration photos.
