The Blonding Experience
01
Consultation
Every blonding service begins with an honest conversation. We’ll assess your current hair, review your color history, and talk through your goals – setting realistic expectations and mapping out a plan, including a timeline if your goal takes more than one session to reach safely.
02
Custom Formula + Placement
Your specialist will select the technique and placement that best delivers your desired result, mixing a formula built around your hair’s specific needs and your current level.
03
Lightening
Lightener is applied with precision and monitored throughout the processing time. We never rush this step – the lift determines everything about your end result.
04
Toning
Once your hair has lifted to the right level, we tone to achieve your exact finish. This is where the magic happens. This where warm, cool, or neutral tones are dialed in to complement your features and your desired result.
05
Styling
We’ll blow your hair out and we’ll also add products to your hair to help it stay in place and leave with salon finished hair.
06
At-Home Care
We will walk you through exactly how to care for your blonde at home, including the right professional products, toning appointment intervals, heat protection, and when to schedule your next visit.
What Our Clients Say
How do I know which blonding service is right for me?
It depends on your starting point, your goal, and how much maintenance you want to commit to. A consultation is the best first step. We’ll look at your hair, discuss your goals, and give you an honest recommendation for the most effective path forward.
Can I go blonde in one visit?
That depends on your natural color and your hair’s history. If you’ve had dark color or significant previous chemical services, reaching your goal in one visit may not be possible without compromising your hair’s health. We’ll be fully transparent during your consultation about what’s achievable safely.
How do I maintain my blonde between visits?
Your specialist will give you specific product recommendations and a maintenance schedule at the end of your appointment. Using a quality toning shampoo, protecting your hair from heat and sun, and staying on schedule with your visits are the most important things you can do.
Is balayage or highlights better for low-maintenance color?
Balayage is typically the more low-maintenance option, as the freehand technique allows for softer, more gradual regrowth. Highlights may require more frequent visits depending on the placement and contrast. We’ll help you decide which approach works best for your goals and lifestyle.
What's the difference between balayage & babylights?
Balayage is a freehand technique that creates natural, sweeping dimension. Babylights are very fine, delicate highlights placed throughout the hair for a multi-tonal brightness that mimics natural, sun-kissed hair. Your specialist can show you examples and help you determine which look suits you best.
Is there a separate charge for the amount of color or lightener used?
The Aveda Hair Color Charge will be added to the ticket at checkout for the exact weight of hair color used during your service. The average additional Hair Color cost is from $25-$75 based on your current length, density and desired results.
