What makes one balayage cost more than another?
Four things move the price most:
- How much of your head is painted. Partial balayage covers less hair than full, so it costs less.
- Your length and thickness. More hair takes more product and more time. Karen's prices go up by $25 from long to extra long.
- What's included. Gatzby's main menu includes a gloss and also notes an extra charge for additional product. Elsewhere, a toner or gloss may be a separate charge, so ask what your quote covers.
- Who does it. Posh Salon's page says its prices may vary with your stylist's level of experience, and Gatzby publishes a separate associate menu.
Why might your final quote be higher?
A plus sign means the price is a starting point. A big change from dark to light, or hair with old color on it, can need more time than the listed service allows. Add a haircut and the total climbs too. Salon Lofts stylist Rene Onorato lists balayage with a cut and style at $325, which is $50 more than balayage and style alone.
If you have box dye or a past color job that went wrong, say so before you book. That may turn the visit into color correction, which is priced differently.
Is balayage cheaper over a full year?
It can be. Many people go three months or more between balayage appointments, because the color grows out softly. Four partial balayage visits with Karen at the $158 starting price comes to $632 a year, before tip and before anything your length adds.
Highlights usually cost less per visit but often need more visits. We compare the two in balayage vs highlights, and our guide to hair color costs in Georgetown covers the other color services.
How do you get an accurate price?
Bring a photo of what you want and be honest about what's on your hair now. Then ask three questions: is a toner or gloss included, is a haircut or blow dry included, and what's the likely total for your length? To talk it through with Karen, call the number at the bottom of this page.
