Holy moly this is expensive! Never had any coloring before and don’t think I will now, haha

Yes, blonde is very high maintenance, and you have to stick to a schedule. I often miss touch-ups during busy weeks and end up with roots at the worst time when I have major presentations, etc. It's something you really have to commit to.

Balayage is way more friendly on the grow out than traditional color or highlights. It’s hand painted and a good stylist will make an imperceptible blend towards the top so as it grows out there’s no harsh line. It’s a really “lived in” color look. I pay $350+ tip in DC

Yea, I’ve been dying my hair myself since I was a teen and everyone thinks it’s my natural blonde color. I think it’s crazy when my hair dye isn’t on sale and they want me to pay $12 for a box. I can’t imagine paying hundreds of dollars every 4-6 weeks.

Also FYI- balayage is usually way more expensive than highlights or full color because the stylist hand paints strands of hair really deliberately to make it blend with your natural color

I agree completely! I’ve had balayage done and love the look. I just mentioned it because I read the OP as though she assumed it would cost less than highlights or full color

Hi try going on Groupon and check the reviews on yelp. You might find a good deal. That’s what I did

Houston - $400 for full highlights, deep conditioning treatment, trim, and blowout with tip

For cut, bayalage, and styling, I paid $450 in Los Angeles, I do it every 5 months.
