What is a French haircut?

A French haircut is a precision cutting technique designed to work with your natural hair movement and facial features. The result is a haircut that grows out beautifully, requires less styling, and is easy to maintain at home. 

What’s the difference between balayage and highlights?

Traditional highlights use foils to create brighter, more defined pieces from the roots. Balayage is hand-painted to create soft, natural-looking dimension with a lower-maintenance grow-out. During your consultation, I’ll help determine which technique best fits your desired look and maintenance schedule. (Hair by Linda)

Do you offer consultations?

Yes! Every service begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your hair history, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and inspiration photos to create a customized plan for your hair.

Can you correct color from another salon?

Yes. I provide professional color correction services for unwanted tones, uneven color, brassiness, and previous color mistakes. Some corrections may require multiple appointments to protect the health of your hair.

Do you cover gray hair?

Absolutely. Whether you want complete gray coverage or prefer blending your natural gray into dimensional color, I’ll create a customized formula that complements your skin tone and lifestyle.

How long does a balayage appointment take?

Most balayage appointments take approximately 2 hours depending on your hair length, thickness, and desired level of lightness.

What are hair highlights?

Hair highlights involve isolating specific strands of hair and treating them with a lightener or hair color to make them lighter than your natural base color. Highlights add instant dimension, depth, and movement, making your hair look fuller, brighter, and sun-kissed.

What is the difference between highlights and lowlights?

While highlights lift the hair to a lighter shade to add brightness, lowlights do the exact opposite. Lowlights involve adding darker tones back into the hair. Combining highlights and lowlights creates a beautiful, multi-tonal, dimensional hair color that keeps your hair from looking flat or washed out.

Do you specialize in dimensional grey blending?

Absolutely. If you want to embrace your natural silver while maintaining a modern edge, our dimensional grey blending services are ideal. Instead of a solid, high-maintenance block of color, we artfully weave subtle highlights and lowlights throughout your hair. This diffuses the harsh demarcation line, giving you a seamless, low-maintenance grow-out.

How often should I get my hair colored?

Most root touch-ups are recommended every 4–8 weeks. Balayage and dimensional highlights typically require maintenance every 3–6 months, making them a great low-maintenance option. 

Do you use professional hair products?

Yes. I use professional salon-quality color and products designed to maximize shine, protect your hair, and maintain its integrity throughout every service. 

Can I bring inspiration photos?

Absolutely! Inspiration photos are encouraged. They help us communicate your goals while allowing me to customize the look to compliment your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle.

What if I don’t know what hairstyle would look best on me?

That’s completely normal. I’ll recommend cuts, colors, and techniques based on your face shape, hair texture, maintenance preferences, and personal style so you leave with a look you’ll love.

Do you offer hair extensions?

Yes. I offer professional hair extension services to add length, fullness, or volume. During your consultation, we’ll determine the best extension method for your hair goals. 

Do you offer keratin treatments?

Yes. Keratin smoothing treatments reduce frizz, improve manageability, and leave hair smoother, shinier, and easier to style.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash and checks as well as all major credit cards and debit cards for your convenience.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel or reschedule, I kindly ask for as much notice as possible. This allows me to offer your appointment to another guest waiting for an opening.
