Balayage in Eastlake
Sun-kissed color, painted by hand
Color That Looks Like Vacation
You know that effortless, sun-kissed look you get after a week at the beach? That's what balayage does without the UV damage or the sandy sheets.
Unlike traditional highlights that start at the root with uniform stripes, balayage is painted freehand onto the surface of your hair. The result? Color that looks like it grew there naturally, with soft, blended transitions and zero harsh lines.
And the best part: it grows out beautifully. No racing back to the salon every six weeks to cover a root line. Balayage clients typically go 3-4 months between appointments.

Balayage Styles
Classic Balayage
Soft, sun-kissed dimension concentrated at the mid-lengths and ends. Natural-looking and low-maintenance.
Face-Framing Balayage
Brightness around your face that opens up your features. The "money pieces" everyone asks for.
Full Balayage
More coverage and dimension throughout. Still hand-painted, still soft just more of it.
Balayage + Toner Refresh
Already have balayage? A toner refresh keeps your color vibrant between full appointments.
Why Choose Balayage?
Low Maintenance
Soft grow-out means fewer appointments. Go 3-4 months without visible roots.
Natural Movement
Hand-painted placement creates dimension that moves with your hair.
Customizable
From subtle sun-kisses to bold contrast tailored to your style.
The Process
Consultation
We discuss your vision, look at reference photos, and I assess your hair's current condition and color history.
Color Mapping
I plan the placement based on how you wear your hair, your face shape, and where light naturally hits.
Hand-Painting
Lightener is painted freehand onto the surface of your hair. This is the art and it takes time.
Processing & Toning
We wait for the perfect lift, then tone to your desired shade warm honey, cool ash, or anywhere between.
Style & Reveal
A beautiful blowout or curl styling so you can see your new dimension in motion.
Have Curly Hair?
Balayage on curls is its own specialty. The placement has to account for how curls spring and move completely different from straight hair.
I specialize in curly hair color. If you've been told your curls are "too hard" to color, let's talk. Check out my Curly Hair Specialist services.
