Balayage in San Rafael — Lived-In Color, Done Properly

Balayage is hand-painted color, painted on in sweeping strokes so it grows out soft, like sun on hair after a summer outside. It is for anyone who wants dimension and movement without being chained to a six-week retouch cycle. Balayage from $350+.

What to expect

Allow a few hours, depending on length and how much lift you want. It grows out with no hard root line. A toner or glaze, $95+, keeps it fresh between visits.

Who does it
