First Time Getting Balayage? Here’s What to Expect (and What Stylists Wish You Knew)
Thinking about trying balayage for the first time? Love that for you.
Before you walk into the salon, here’s what to expect—and what your stylist secretly wishes you already knew:
Bring visual inspo, not just words. “Natural” means something different to everyone. A few saved photos go a long way.
It’s not always a one-session transformation. If your hair is dark or previously colored, it might take a few appointments to get your dream look the right way.
The maintenance is lower, not zero. You’ll still want toners, trims, and the occasional refresh.
It’s hand-painted magic. That means it’s custom—and no two balayages look exactly the same (that’s the point!).
Trust the process. If you’re booking with someone who specializes in balayage (hi 👋), you’re in good hands.
Located in Woodland Hills and taking new clients—let’s make your first balayage a ✨glow-up✨ not a gamble.
