What to Look for in a Balayage Specialist
Balayage results depend on the colorist's eye and technique, not just the products. When vetting salons, look at photo galleries of their color work—specifically balayage—to see if the placement and blending match what you want. Read recent reviews to see what clients say about the application and how the color lasted. Ask the salon if their colorists have experience with your hair type and starting color; going lighter or working with darker base colors has different technical demands.
Don't just go by salon name or location—ask for recommendations from friends with similar hair who've had work you admire. Most salons are happy to walk you through their balayage process during a consultation.
