Appointments typically range from 60 to 120 minutes depending on hair length, thickness, and desired brightness. Your stylist performs a brief consultation and custom placement, so plan for additional time for toning and styling to achieve the finished look.

Partial balayage focuses on face and crown, so brightness typically lasts 8–12 weeks depending on growth, hair porosity, and care. Using color-safe products and regular glosses or toners extends vibrancy and delays the need for a refresh.

Yes — in most cases we can work with previously colored hair. Your stylist will assess prior color, porosity, and undertones during consultation; sometimes a color correction or additional sessions are recommended to achieve seamless, healthy-looking balayage results.

Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and weekly deep conditioners to preserve tone and moisture. For lighter pieces, occasional purple shampoo prevents brassiness. Limit heat styling, use heat protectant, and book periodic gloss or toner refreshes with Avi or Rafael for optimal longevity.
