How to Choose a Balayage Specialist
Start with their work. Look at before-and-afters on Instagram or ask during a consultation—you want to see color placement and blending that matches your hair type and skin tone. Balayage isn't formulaic; the best results come from someone who listens to what you're after and explains the process.
Bring reference photos and be honest about your hair. Tell them about thickness, current color, and how much maintenance you're willing to do between touch-ups. A good specialist will tell you if a look suits you, even if it's not what you initially asked for.
