Blonding and balayage
Blonding is most of what happens in this chair. Whether you want a soft sun-kissed balayage or a bright, high-impact blonde, the placement is planned around your natural color, your cut and how often you want to come back.
Every blonde starts with a conversation about where your hair is now and where you want it to go. Hair that has been colored before, at home or in a salon, lifts differently, so Cassie asks about the last few years of color before she mixes anything.
From there she chooses the technique that suits the result: hand-painted balayage for a softer grow-out, foils for brighter and more even lift, or a mix of both. A bright piece around the face does a lot of the work, and a toner at the end sets the shade, from golden to beige to icy.
Big changes are often done over more than one visit. Going slowly keeps the hair strong, and it means you leave each appointment with color you like while it builds.
A good fit for
- First-time blondes who want a natural, low-commitment start
- Blondes who want to be brighter without losing dimension
- Grown-out highlights that need blending and a fresh tone
- Anyone tired of a harsh line at the root

Questions about blonding
What is the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage is painted onto the hair by hand, which gives a softer, more blended result that grows out gently. Foil highlights lift the hair more evenly from root to tip and can get you brighter. Many blondes are a combination of the two.
How much does blonding cost?
It depends on how much hair you have, your color history and how bright you want to go, so Cassie quotes after seeing your hair. Message a photo of your hair now and a photo of what you like, and she will give you a price before you book.
How often will I need to come back?
That depends on the look. A lived-in blonde with a soft root can go a long time between lightening sessions, especially with a root melt and gloss in between. A bright blonde taken close to the root needs more regular upkeep.
