BALAYAGE

Savvy Hair Artistry itself emerged 9 years ago, but was bought by Taleah Pickering back in 2013. Since then, the salon has built up its reputation to be one of the best in Brisbane, not only due to their quality of work and very affordable prices – but because of the care and love they show each and every one of their clients.

With a highly experienced and attentive team at your service, Savvy Hair Artistry is renowned for providing first class pampering. Whether it’s the genuine care and compassion of a friendly chat while you get a style cut, or perhaps the complimentary wine and cheeseboard (yes – you read that right!) to get you through those longer visits, you leave not only looking fabulous but feeling amazing too.

– Flawless Customers Service – Every client is treated with the same exceptional service.

– Welcoming and Accessible – Our clients are our extended family that we treat with honest and integrity.

– Professional – We are constantly training to improve our skills and keep up with the latest styles and trends.

Balayage in Ashgrove

lived-in colour, painted by hand

Balayage is colour painted on by hand, so it blends into your own colour and grows out without a hard line. Ours comes as one package: balayage with a few foils for extra brightness, a custom toner, a Metal Detox treatment and your choice of finish.

What’s in the Lived-In Balayage Package

Half head or full head of balayage and foils
A custom toner to perfect your shade
A Metal Detox treatment to protect your hair and help your colour last
Your finish: a dry-off, blow-dry or style cut

Prices for every option are on our booking page, so they’re always up to date.

Balayage or foils?

Balayage is painted on by hand for soft, sun-kissed colour with no regrowth line. Foils are wrapped from the root for brighter, more even blonde.

Not sure which suits you? Book a colour consultation. It comes off the price of your colour appointment. Or read more about colour and foils.

Who balayage suits

You want brightness that looks like it grew there, not stripes.
You’re brunette and want sun-kissed pieces, not all-over blonde.
You’d like colour that grows out softly, without a hard line.
You have box dye or dark colour on your hair. Book a colour consultation first and tell us what’s been on it.

Keep it fresh between visits

A gloss refreshes your tone and adds shine between balayage appointments. Ours is L’Oréal Dia Light: ammonia-free, about 20 minutes to process, and it lasts around 4 to 6 weeks. You can book a gloss on its own.

Balayage questions

Does balayage work on brunettes?
Yes. Every one of our stylists does brunette, and soft, lived-in colour is the look this season.

Can you balayage over box dye?
We need to see it first. Book a colour consultation and tell us what’s been on your hair.

Can I come after work?
Yes. We’re open until 9pm Wednesday and Thursday. Free parking with no time limit, near the fruit shop or across from Coles.

Can I use Afterpay?
Yes. Afterpay and Zip are available in the salon for every service.
