Hair Color Designed Around You
Every hair color appointment at Blondie's Salon + Spa begins with a personalized consultation. We'll discuss your inspiration, evaluate the current condition of your hair, and recommend the techniques that will help you achieve your goals while keeping your hair healthy.
We consider everything that influences the final result, including your natural hair color, previous color services, hair texture, gray coverage goals, and how much maintenance you're comfortable with between appointments. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a dramatic transformation, we'll create a color plan that's tailored specifically to you.
We'll also talk honestly about what is realistic. Some color changes can be achieved in a single visit, while others, especially significant lightening or color correction, are safer and more successful when completed over multiple appointments. We'll explain the process, answer your questions, and recommend an approach that puts the long-term health of your hair first.
Our goal is to create beautiful, customized hair color that complements your features, fits your lifestyle, and leaves your hair looking and feeling its best.
Balayage, Highlights, and Dimensional Color
Adding lighter pieces throughout your hair can create everything from soft, natural dimension to bold, high-contrast brightness. The right technique depends on the look you're trying to achieve, how often you want to maintain your color, and the condition of your hair.
Traditional foil highlights create consistent brightness from the roots to the ends and are a great choice for guests who like a brighter, more polished look. Balayage uses a hand-painted technique to create softer, more natural-looking dimension with a lived-in grow-out. Babylights, lowlights, and face-framing highlights can also be incorporated to add depth, brightness, or subtle contrast exactly where it's needed.
Highlights can also be an excellent option for blending gray hair. Rather than covering every gray strand with permanent color, strategically placed highlights can soften the contrast between your natural color and new growth, creating a more dimensional look with a less noticeable grow-out.
During your consultation, we'll recommend the combination of techniques that best complements your haircut, skin tone, and maintenance preferences. Every color service is customized, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Blonde Hair Color
Whether you're dreaming of bright platinum, a soft buttery blonde, cool champagne tones, or a natural sun-kissed look, achieving beautiful blonde hair requires careful planning and ongoing maintenance. The lightening process, the condition of your hair, and the tone you're trying to achieve all influence the techniques and products we'll recommend.
Some guests want maximum brightness from roots to ends, while others prefer a lived-in blonde with a softer grow-out. Depending on your goals, your service may include highlights, balayage, babylights, toners, glosses, or root shadowing to create a result that looks natural and grows out beautifully.
Healthy blonde hair is just as important as beautiful blonde hair. We'll recommend a maintenance routine that helps preserve your color between appointments, including professional products and toning services when needed to keep unwanted warmth under control.

Single Process Color, Root Touch-Ups, and Gray Coverage
Single process color is often the best choice for refreshing your overall color, deepening your natural shade, covering gray hair, or maintaining a consistent look from roots to ends.
If your ends still look healthy and vibrant, a root touch-up may be all you need to blend new growth and maintain your color. Other guests may benefit from a full color application to refresh faded ends or make a more noticeable change. During your consultation, we'll recommend the approach that best suits your hair and your goals.
Gray coverage is never one-size-fits-all. Some guests prefer complete coverage for a rich, uniform color, while others want a softer, more natural blend that allows some of their gray to become part of the overall look. We'll help you choose a color strategy that complements your features and fits your maintenance routine.
Whether you're maintaining your signature shade or ready for something new, our goal is healthy, dimensional color that looks natural and grows out beautifully.
Toners and Glosses
Toners and glosses are often the finishing touch that brings a hair color service together. While they don't replace highlights or permanent color, they can refine the tone, enhance shine, and keep your color looking fresh between appointments.
A toner is commonly used after lightening services to adjust the final shade. It can help neutralize unwanted warmth, brighten blonde hair, or create cooler, warmer, or more natural-looking results. A gloss refreshes faded color, boosts shine, and can add richness without making a dramatic change.
Many guests choose to schedule a toner or gloss between major color appointments to extend the life of their color. These services can revive dull hair, restore vibrancy, and help your color look freshly done without repeating the entire coloring process.
We'll recommend the right finishing service based on your hair color, your goals, and how long it's been since your last appointment.
Root Taps, Root Melts, and Money Pieces
Small details can make a big difference in the finished result. Techniques like root taps, root melts, and money pieces allow your stylist to customize your color so it looks more natural, grows out more gracefully, or creates extra brightness exactly where you want it.
A root tap or root melt softens the transition between your natural color and lighter hair, creating a more seamless blend at the scalp. These techniques can help reduce harsh lines and make highlights or balayage easier to maintain between appointments.
A money piece is a brighter section around the face that draws attention to your features and adds instant dimension. It can be subtle and natural or bold and dramatic, depending on the look you're trying to achieve.
These techniques are often combined with highlights or balayage rather than performed as stand-alone services. During your consultation, we'll recommend the combination that best complements your haircut, face shape, and maintenance preferences.

Hair Color for Curly and Textured Hair
Coloring curly hair requires a different approach than coloring straight hair. Every curl pattern reflects light differently, and the placement of highlights can dramatically change the way curls are defined and how the finished color looks when worn naturally.
Our stylists consider your curl pattern, density, and hair health when designing your color. Whether you're looking for subtle dimension, sun-kissed highlights, or a bold transformation, the goal is to enhance your natural texture rather than compete with it.
For some guests, techniques such as Pintura allow highlights to be hand-painted directly onto individual curls, creating a more natural, customized result. Other guests may achieve their desired look with traditional foils, balayage, or a combination of techniques. There is no single method that works best for every head of curly hair.
During your consultation, we'll recommend the approach that complements your curl pattern, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences while helping keep your curls healthy and vibrant.

Vivid and Creative Hair Color
From bold fashion shades to subtle pops of color, vivid hair color offers endless opportunities to express your personality. Whether you're considering pastel pink, vibrant copper, deep violet, vivid blue, or a custom combination of shades, we'll help you create a look that's uniquely yours.
Many vivid colors require the hair to be lightened before the final color is applied. Depending on your starting color and the condition of your hair, achieving your desired result may take more than one appointment. We'll discuss what is realistically possible and recommend an approach that protects the health of your hair throughout the process.
It's also important to understand that vivid colors typically require more maintenance than traditional hair color. They fade more quickly, often need specialized home care, and benefit from regular glosses or color refresh appointments to keep them looking their best.
If you're ready to make a statement or simply want to try something different, we'll help you choose colors that complement your style, your skin tone, and your commitment to maintenance.
Healthy Hair Comes First
Beautiful hair color starts with healthy hair. Before recommending a service, we'll evaluate the condition of your hair to determine what it can safely achieve. Factors like previous lightening, chemical services, heat styling, and everyday wear all affect how your hair will respond to color.
When needed, we may recommend a bond-building treatment to help strengthen and protect your hair during the coloring process. These treatments work by helping reduce breakage and improve the overall integrity of the hair, making them especially beneficial for guests who lighten their hair, receive frequent color services, or are working toward a significant color change.

Hair Color Correction
Whether your hair turned out darker than expected, developed unwanted warmth, looks uneven, or has been affected by years of box color, professional color correction can help restore a result you'll feel confident wearing.
Every color correction begins with a thorough consultation. We'll evaluate your current color, discuss your color history, and determine the safest approach to achieving your goal.
Some corrections can be completed in a single appointment, while others are best completed over multiple visits to protect the health of your hair.
Color correction is never a one-size-fits-all service. It may involve removing unwanted pigment, adding dimension, rebalancing uneven color, or carefully lightening previously colored hair. Our recommendations are based on the condition of your hair and what can be achieved safely and realistically.

Gray Coverage or Gray Blending?
Many guests are choosing a softer, more natural approach that blends gray into their overall color instead of trying to hide every strand.
If your goal is complete gray coverage, a single process color or regular root touch-up may be the best solution. If you're looking for less maintenance, strategically placed highlights, lowlights, or dimensional color can soften the contrast between your natural color and new growth, making gray less noticeable as your hair grows.
There isn't a single right approach. Some guests prefer the polished look of full coverage, while others embrace a more natural transition that requires fewer salon visits. During your consultation, we'll discuss the pros and cons of each option and recommend a color plan that fits your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and long-term goals.
Do you give refunds for your services if I'm unsatisfied with my hair color?
«We make every attempt to ensure that you love your experience at Blondie's. In the event that you are not completely satisfied, please let us know within 48 hours. We will be happy to schedule a corrective service within two weeks of your original appointment date. Due to the nature of some services, this guarantee may vary, and in some cases, charges may apply. The guarantee does not cover a change in the original style or color. Full-service price applies if you have waited longer than 48 hours to call or if you have your hair worked on elsewhere before returning to Blondie's for the corrective service. There are no monetary refunds for any services provided.
Do I need a consultation before booking a color service?
«If this is your first color service with Blondie's, yes. All new color clients begin with a complimentary consultation, either in person or virtually. This helps us understand your color goals, hair history, and any challenges you’ve had in the past. You’ll also complete our short New Client Color Questionnaire so we can recommend the right service and schedule enough time for your appointment. Once your consultation and form are complete, we’ll send you the booking link for your color service.
How do I know which hair color service to book?
«Don't worry if you're unsure whether you need highlights, balayage, all-over color, or another service. During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals, evaluate your hair, and recommend the techniques that will give you the best results.
Can I go blonde in one appointment?
«Sometimes. If your hair is healthy and you're making a moderate change, your goal may be achievable in one visit. More significant lightening, especially over previously colored hair, often requires multiple appointments to protect the health of your hair.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
«Traditional highlights create brightness from the roots using foils, while balayage is hand-painted to create a softer, more natural grow-out. During your consultation, we'll recommend the technique that best suits your hair and maintenance preferences.
How often should I touch up my roots?
«Most root touch-ups are scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your natural hair color, the amount of gray, and how quickly your hair grows.
What is gray blending?
«Gray blending softens the appearance of gray hair rather than covering every strand. It often combines highlights, lowlights, or dimensional color to create a more natural look with a softer grow-out.
Can you fix a hair color mistake from another salon or box dye?
«Yes. We offer professional hair color correction for many types of color issues, including uneven color, unwanted warmth, overly dark hair, and previous box color. Every correction begins with a consultation so we can recommend the safest approach.
How can I keep my hair color looking fresh longer?
«Using professional color-safe products, protecting your hair from heat, and following your stylist's maintenance recommendations will help extend the life of your color. Toners, glosses, and refresh appointments can also keep your color looking vibrant between major services.
How much does hair color cost?
«The cost depends on the services being performed, the length and thickness of your hair, and the amount of time needed to achieve your desired result. We'll review pricing during your consultation so you know what to expect.

This is Ben’s wife, Diane. (Just don’t have this so have to use his) I had the most amazing time with Lenora at Blondie’s Salon & Spa! We actually met up ahead of my appointment to chat about what I wanted, and they got me in super fast. I just wanted to get back to my natural color, and Lenora abso...lutely nailed it. The whole vibe was just perfect, I never felt rushed, but it didn’t drag either. They even offered me drinks, and I got to munch on some goldfish while I sat under the dryer. Then, when she washed out my color, the room was so calming, gentle music, and she even popped a face mask on me while I relaxed. Lenora is just a total pro, I’m in love with my hair, and I couldn’t recommend her more! read more
I LOVED my experience at Blondes! I had a bad hair dye done at a different salon and with my sister’s wedding in one week, Penny understood the urgency and fought hard to get a quick appt. TY. I was booked with Christian. Christain really listened to how I felt my hair was messed up and how I wanted... my hair to be. It quickly became apparent how knowledgeable and experienced he was, especially in understanding curly hair which my previous stylist did not. I had no idea how he would correct my hair, but the end result was everything I wanted. Beachy, natural, buttery, big, sun-kissed hair. Magic. The next day I did not stop receiving compliments on my hair. I had received no compliments when my hair was originally dyed. All in all, the quality at Blondes is top-notch. The staff are very kind, the salon is a peaceful, spacious environment and all your needs are taken care of. It is expensive, but I have learned my lesson and I will be back! Thank you Penny and Christian! read more
