Six starting directions

Balayage

A hand-painted technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed gradient. The result is completely customizable—from subtle to striking.

Maintenance: Low–mediumChange: Gradual

View details

What to expect

Balayage is a technique, not a finished color. The result depends on your hair and the direction you set together. Grow-out is intentionally soft.

Maintenance

Most clients return every 12–16 weeks. Toning may be added between appointments to keep tone fresh.

Perfect for

Someone who wants soft, customized dimension with a gradual grow-out rather than a solid, all-over color result.

Lived-in blonde

Lighter at the ends, dimensional through the mid-lengths, soft at the root. Built to grow out well and stay low-maintenance.

Maintenance: LowChange: Moderate

View details

What to expect

This is a finished direction, not a single service. Starting darker usually takes 2–3 appointments to build properly without compromising condition.

Maintenance

Toner refresh every 6–8 weeks. Full lightening appointment every 16–20 weeks.

Perfect for

Someone who wants to feel noticeably blonder while keeping softness near the root and a lower-contrast grow-out.

Gray blending

Works with your natural gray instead of against it—softening root contrast without requiring full coverage every appointment.

Maintenance: LowChange: Subtle

View details

What to expect

Results are most natural on 20–50% gray. If your goal is full gray coverage rather than blending, that's a different path—worth discussing in consultation.

Maintenance

12–20 weeks between appointments for most clients, depending on how much contrast you want to maintain.

Perfect for

Someone who wants to soften the contrast between natural gray and previously colored hair without trying to cover every gray strand.

Gloss and tone

Adjusts warmth, deepens shine, and refreshes color that has faded. Works as a standalone appointment or added to any color service.

Maintenance: MediumChange: Subtle

View details

What to expect

A gloss is semi-permanent and fades gradually over 4–6 weeks—that fade is intentional and part of the look.

Maintenance

Most clients refresh every 4–8 weeks to maintain tone.

Perfect for

Someone who wants to refresh faded tone, add shine, or fine-tune warmth or coolness between larger color appointments.

Fixed DIY and box dye attempts with undesirable results

Corrective color

Box dye, multiple processes, or an unexpected result? This appointment untangles complex color history and resets the starting point.

Maintenance: VariesChange: Significant

View details

What to expect

Corrective color takes longer and often requires more than one appointment. A consultation is required before booking—this is not something to assess at the chair.

Maintenance

Maintenance interval depends entirely on the goal and where the hair lands after correction.

Perfect for

Someone dealing with unwanted tone, uneven color, banding, or a significant color change that needs a careful, consultation-led plan.

Brunette Dimension

Color placed to follow your loose curl pattern. We'll create dimension that shows when your hair moves naturally, not just when it's flat.

Maintenance: MediumChange: Moderate

View details

What to expect

Technique and timing adjust to your curl type. Not all lightening methods work for all patterns—consultation determines what's right for your hair.

Maintenance

12–16 weeks between appointments for most clients.

Perfect for

Someone who wants color placed around the movement and shape of curls or coils so the dimension remains visible without flattening the pattern.

Develop your vision

Thoughts. Photos. Vibes. I'm into planning!

Color that lasts starts before the appointment. A few things make the difference between a guess and a plan.

Bring references

Photos of colors you love—and ones that didn't work. Front, sides, and back in real light. The more specific, the more useful.

Share your history

Salon color, at-home dye, lightening, reactions, anything bleached. History affects what's possible and how long it takes.

Confirm the plan

Walk away with a realistic service path, a timeline, and next steps—not a single-appointment promise for something that takes three.

Common questions

Straight answers.

What's the difference between balayage and lived-in blonde?

Balayage is a technique—the way color is applied. Lived-in blonde is the finished look. You can use balayage to get a lived-in blonde result, but balayage doesn't always equal blonde.

How often will I need to come back?

There is no universal interval. It depends on your growth rate, how much contrast you want to maintain, and whether you're doing a toner refresh or a full appointment. Andee will set realistic expectations before you leave.

Do I need a consultation before booking corrective color?

Yes. Corrective color needs to be assessed before any work begins—timing, pricing, and what's achievable in a single session can't be confirmed at the chair.

Can I get highlights if I have textured hair?

Yes—but the technique matters. Dimension for curls and coils uses placement and timing specific to curl pattern. The goal is color that shows when your hair moves, not just when it's straight.
