Thinking of getting a blonde balayage (see image) but have naturally dark hair. I am worried this won’t look very professional... would appreciate your input ladies!

I think it looks good and professional. Unless it’s a purple or pink balayage instead of blonde, you’re fine..

I’ve had that hair for a year with no issue. Please make sure to show the photo to your hairdresser vs. just booking a “balayage”. I learned the hard way that foils are definitely needed to get that level of lift on hair that dark.

I love it! You’d just have to keep it well maintained (or reduce the amount of balayage a bit) and dress in more subdued tones to keep it all more “professional” (if your industry is conservative).

I had rose gold balayage for a year or so and loved it. I could always put it in a bun to be slightly more professional if needed. Mostly my team and clients had very nice things to say!

Keep in mind dark hair will mean needing multiple sessions to get it to the right shade of blonde

I have something similar dark hair girl and they look good

Make sure the blond shade you choose actually compliments your skin tone. If you tan naturally and/or have brown/hazel/golden eyes, you’ll want a warmer, more golden shade, not this blue/platinum tone, which will wash you out and make your skin look really tired and sallow. If you have fair, milky skin and blue or green eyes, you can go with more neutral or cool tones. Most true brunettes really don’t look great with really light blonde hair and too much contrast can look like an unfortunate “mistake.”

Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?

This is an interesting one. So I work on a small finance team at a tech startup. I have only one peer who is female, about 4 years older than me. She looked at the payroll and realized I make significantly more than her. I also work significantly less hours than her because I work on the technical side while she is operational. I think all of my years in consulting allowed me to get hired at a premium. She sorta confronted me about the pay gap and I skirted the issue...
