A balayage appointment typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the length and thickness of your hair, as well as the desired level of lightness and blending. This includes the application, processing time, toning, and styling to ensure you leave with a flawless, customized look. We take the time to perfect every detail, so come prepared to relax and enjoy the experience.

Yes! Invisible extensions are one of the safest methods for adding length and volume. They’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural hair while placing minimal stress on your scalp and strands. When installed and maintained properly, they are gentle and non-damaging. At NZ Salon, we specialize in custom applications to ensure the health of your natural hair is always a top priority.

For optimal results, we recommend getting a Hair Botox treatment every 3-4 months. This allows the smoothing and nourishing effects to remain consistent while maintaining the health and manageability of your hair. The exact timing can vary depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and how often you wash your hair.

Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed look with soft, blended color transitions. It typically doesn’t require foils and results in a more lived-in, low-maintenance style.

Highlights, on the other hand, involve sectioning hair and using foils to create more precise, uniform strands of lighter color. Highlights can give a bolder, more dimensional look, whereas balayage is ideal for soft, gradual lightness. Not sure which is best for you? Book a consultation, and we’ll help you decide!

While a consultation isn’t required, we highly recommend booking one, especially if you’re trying a new service or looking for a big change. Consultations allow us to understand your goals, assess your hair’s current condition, and recommend the best service for you. Plus, it’s a great way to ask any questions and feel confident about your appointment.

To keep your hair color vibrant and long-lasting:

• Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos and conditioners.

• Limit washing to 2-3 times a week to preserve the color.

• Always rinse with lukewarm or cool water to prevent fading.

• Incorporate a color-protecting mask or treatment weekly for hydration and shine.

• Avoid excessive heat styling, and use a heat protectant when necessary.
