What to expect
We start with a consultation: your inspo photos, your hair history and how often you want to come in. Then we paint, process, tone and finish with a blowout so you see the real result. If your hair needs two visits to get there safely, we will tell you straight.
Questions
How much does balayage cost in Costa Mesa at Ra'pôr?
Partial balayage starts at $275 and full balayage starts at $325. Final price depends on hair length, density and your starting color, which we go over at your consultation.
How long does a balayage appointment take?
It is a longer appointment because the color is hand painted, toned and finished with a blowout. Your stylist will give you a time estimate at booking. Coming from box dye or a very dark base can take longer or need two visits.
How often do I need to touch up balayage?
Less often than foils. Lived in balayage is designed to grow out without a harsh line, and a gloss in between visits keeps the tone fresh.
Balayage or highlights?
Balayage is hand painted for a soft, blended look that grows out gracefully. Foil highlights give a brighter, more uniform blonde. Many of our best blondes use a mix of both.
Who should I book for balayage?
At Newport Blvd book Ciera, Neal or Sierra. At 17th Street book Lauren or Bianca. All of them specialize in lived in, natural looking color.
