Balayage in Old Town Fairfax, hand-painted by a master colorist.
From $185. Olaplex included. Custom-blended formulas — recorded so your color stays consistent visit after visit.
Balayage at Romy Salon in Fairfax VA starts at $185 for partial and $245 for full. Every balayage service includes Olaplex bond-builder, a glossing toner, and a finishing blowout. Appointments take 2.5–3.5 hours depending on length and density. Book 2–3 weeks ahead — color correction balayage requires 4–6 weeks lead time and a consultation.
Not a technique. A philosophy.
Master-stylist only
Every balayage at Romy Salon is performed by Romy or a senior colorist she has personally trained. No assistants finishing the painting. No exceptions.
Custom-blended, recorded formulas
Your formula is mixed for your specific hair, skin tone, and goals — and we record it. Next visit, the color picks up exactly where the last one left off.
Olaplex included
Bond-builder is part of every color service, not a $40 add-on. Your hair leaves stronger than it arrived.
Unrushed three-hour ritual
We don't double-book. You get the chair, the conversation, the consult, the coffee or champagne, and the styling tutorial. The way it should feel.
Balayage menu
All balayage services include Olaplex, a glossing toner, and a finishing blowout. Final pricing depends on length, density, and complexity.
