What balayage looks like at Maven

Every balayage is custom-mapped to your hair. We start with a consultation about your hair history, density, lifestyle, and goals. Then we paint placement that's specific to you, finish with a custom gloss, cut where needed, and end with our finishing Signature Blowdry.

The placement is designed to grow out softly. Most guests refresh every 4 to 6 months for a full appointment, with a gloss-only mid-cycle appointment in between.
