    Chloe has been my colourist for years, and I never knew it was possible to have the perfect hair experience every single time! She understands not just my hair, but my lifestyle too. I always leave with a smile and a bounce in my step. ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a patch test before balayage?
Yes. If you’re new to balayage or haven’t had a colour service with us in the past six months, a patch test is required at least 48 hours before your appointment to ensure safety.
How long does a half head balayage take?
On average, a half head balayage takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness, and desired result. This includes application, processing, and finishing.
How long will my half head balayage last?
Thanks to its natural, blended placement, a half head balayage can last 8–12 weeks before needing a refresh. We recommend booking a toner every 4–6 weeks to keep your colour vibrant.
Is a half head balayage suitable for all hair types?
Yes! Our expert colourists customise the technique for your hair type, texture, and natural base. Whether you have fine, thick, straight, or wavy hair, we create a bespoke result that flatters you.
Do you serve areas beyond Biggleswade, Bedfordshire?
Absolutely. Many of our clients visit us from surrounding areas including Sandy, Potton, Shefford, and Bedford, seeking expert balayage services and personalised hair care at The Vintage Avenue.
