Since every color service is customized based on hair length, current color, and desired result, pricing varies for each client. To ensure full transparency, we require a consultation before major color changes, including color corrections.
Choosing the right color service starts with understanding your goals, lifestyle, and hair history. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh, a brighter face-framing glow, or a full balayage transformation, a thorough consultation ensures the service matches your desired look and maintenance preferences. During your consult, you’ll discuss your hair’s current condition, color history, and the level of upkeep you’re comfortable with. From there, your stylist can recommend the best-fit option—Signature Balayage, Petite Balayage, Color Retouch, or Glossing—so your hair looks polished, luminous, and completely personalized.
If you’re craving depth and movement, dimensional color techniques like color melting and customized lowlights enhance your natural tones for a soft, multi-dimensional finish. Prefer something bolder? Vivid color services deliver high-impact shades like pink, blue, purple, and red—custom-blended for rich payoff and longer-lasting vibrancy.
Whether you want a natural refresh or a bold new look, you can expect expert application, thoughtful customization, and high-quality results designed to suit your style and schedule.
The frequency of appointments depends on your chosen service, natural hair growth, and maintenance goals. For full balayage, most guests return every 8–12 weeks for a refresh to maintain brightness and blended dimension, while Petite Balayage can be scheduled more frequently as a subtle touch-up. Color Retouch appointments are typically booked every 4–6 weeks to keep roots seamless, and Glossing can be added in between appointments to maintain shine and tone. During your service, we provide a personalized timeline to help your color grow out gracefully and remain vibrant with minimal effort.
At The French Connection, hair health is our top priority. We use premium Wella products combined with Parisian-inspired techniques designed to minimize stress on the hair. Protective treatments and conditioning processes are incorporated throughout your service to strengthen the hair, preserve shine, and maintain integrity. For hair that has been previously lightened or chemically treated, we may recommend additional treatments, such as K18, to rebuild strength at a molecular level. The result is color that looks luminous, soft, and resilient without compromising hair health.
Many clients choose to combine services to achieve the perfect blend of dimension, depth, and tone. For example, you may pair a Signature Balayage with Color Glossing to refine your shade and add extra shine, or schedule a Color Retouch alongside a treatment for optimal health and vibrancy. During your consultation, we will evaluate your hair, discuss timing, and recommend combinations that deliver the most beautiful, long-lasting results while keeping your hair strong and manageable.
Our approach focuses on precision, artistry, and customization. Each balayage, retouch, or gloss is applied with your hair type, features, and growth pattern in mind. Hand-painting, foil placement, and blending techniques are carefully executed to ensure smooth transitions and dimension. We also select shades that harmonize with your natural tones, creating a look that evolves gracefully as it grows out. This ensures that your color remains sophisticated, low-maintenance, and wearable long after your appointment.
