The service
Balayage is light painted on by hand, never in stripes. Rudy places every section where the sun would naturally catch it, so your color grows out soft, with no harsh regrowth line, and still looks right months later.
Your appointment includes the balayage, a custom gloss to perfect the tone and add shine, and a blow-dry, so you leave seeing exactly how it moves. Plan on about three hours and twenty minutes.
It suits anyone who wants brightness that looks lived-in, from a subtle, golden glow to bright, beachy blonde. Not sure it's right for you? Start with a $30 consultation, credited toward your service.

Balayage by Rudy
Hand-painted, so it grows out soft.
Color placed where light would naturally fall: warm ribbons through the lengths and a softer root, so it still looks intentional weeks later.

Before you book
How long does balayage last?
Because it grows out softly, many clients go three to four months between appointments, sometimes with a gloss in between to refresh the tone.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage is painted freehand for a soft, natural placement. Highlights use foils for brighter, more even lightness from root to end. Rudy recommends the one that suits your hair and your goals.
Why is it priced from $275?
Length, density and how much lightening your hair needs all change the work. Rudy confirms your price before he starts.
Can I add Olaplex?
Yes. Add Olaplex No.1 ($20) when you book, and Rudy works it into your color to protect your hair's bonds while it lightens.
Is there a deposit?
New clients reserve with a $30 deposit, applied to the final bill. Existing clients book with no deposit and confirm with a one-time code sent to the phone number on file. Changes and cancellations follow our booking policy.
