Balayage, foils, babylights, full lightening
Balayage and lightening
Hand-painted balayage, foil highlights, babylights and full lightening, done over as many sessions as your hair needs to stay hair, with a bond builder in every mix and a toner on every finish.
Lightening is the one service where the honest answer is sometimes "not in one go". We would rather you came back in six weeks than went home with hair that snapped.
Balayage is painted by hand onto the lengths so the lift is softest at the root and brightest at the ends, growing out without a line. Foils give a cleaner, brighter result and suit shorter hair and anyone who wants to go properly blonde. Babylights are very fine foils for a sun-kissed lift. All of them are mixed with a bond builder, lifted only as far as the hair will take that day, and toned to the shade you asked for rather than the shade the bleach gave us.
Colour corrections (box dye that went orange, a home bleach that went patchy, a dark colour that needs to come out) are the most skilled work we do and are booked only after a consultation with Marco, usually over two or three visits with treatments between.

Questions about balayage
Balayage or foils?
Balayage for a soft, grown-out look that lasts three to four months. Foils for brighter, more even blonde that needs refreshing every eight to ten weeks. Most clients with long hair have a mix of both.
