FAQs

Quick answers (before you book)

These cover the questions that matter most for lived-in balayage: consultation, tone, timelines and maintenance.

If you’re new, unsure what to book, have box dye/unknown history, banding, or you want a bigger change, a consultation helps us plan safely and choose the right route.

Brassiness is common when warm undertones show through. We plan lift + tone together and recommend a refresh rhythm. If tone shifts, a toner/root smudge refresh is often the quickest fix.

Lived-in balayage is designed to be flexible. Many clients book a bigger appointment less often, then refresh tone when needed. Your best rhythm depends on your hair, tone goals and lifestyle — I’ll recommend a plan you can maintain.

WhatsApp is the fastest route (especially if you’re new or have colour history). If you already know what you want, Booksy is perfect for self-serve booking.
