Balayage & Aveda Hair Color in Allen
Dimensional balayage, lived-in highlights, and precision Aveda color at Tangerine Salon at Watters Creek in Allen. Our colorists bring the same expertise trusted by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and featured on Netflix's America's Sweethearts to every color appointment.
What balayage is — and why Allen guests love it
Balayage
Hand-painted highlights that create a soft, sun-kissed gradient. Balayage grows out naturally, meaning fewer salon visits and a lived-in look that works year-round. Our Allen colorists customize placement to frame your face and complement your texture.
Highlights & Lowlights
Foil highlights deliver more uniform brightness and contrast — ideal for blondes who want maximum lift or brunettes seeking dramatic dimension. Our colorists blend highlights and lowlights to create depth that looks natural, not stripey.
All-Over Color & Corrective
Full-coverage Aveda color for gray blending, rich brunettes, or bold fashion tones. We also specialize in color correction — fixing banding, brassiness, or damage from previous salons using Aveda's plant-based Full Spectrum system.

Consultation
Your colorist assesses your hair history, texture, and goals. You'll agree on technique (balayage, foils, or both), placement strategy, and a transparent price before any work begins.

Aftercare & Maintenance
You'll leave with a personalized care plan using Aveda Color Control and Botanical Repair products. Balayage clients typically return every 3–5 months; highlight clients every 6–8 weeks.
Balayage that looks effortless — because it isn't
Our Allen colorists use Aveda's plant-based Full Spectrum color system — up to 96% naturally derived and manufactured with wind and solar power. The result is vibrant, long-lasting color that's better for your hair and the planet. Paired with Botanical Repair treatments, your color stays dimensional and your hair stays strong.
Learn About AvedaBalayage questions our Allen guests ask most
Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates a softer, more natural gradient — ideal for a lived-in look with minimal maintenance. Highlights use foils for more uniform brightness and contrast. Many of our Allen clients combine both techniques for maximum dimension. Your colorist will recommend the best approach during your consultation.
It depends on the technique. Balayage clients typically visit every 3–5 months because the grow-out is designed to look intentional. Highlight clients usually return every 6–8 weeks. All-over color and root touch-ups are typically every 4–6 weeks. Your colorist will create a maintenance schedule tailored to your color and lifestyle.
Yes. Color correction is one of our most requested services. Whether you're dealing with banding, brassiness, or damage from a previous salon, our Allen colorists have the advanced training to restore your hair. Corrections often require multiple sessions — we'll be transparent about the timeline and investment during your consultation.
Aveda's Full Spectrum color is up to 96% naturally derived and is known for being gentler than conventional color systems. Many guests with sensitive scalps specifically seek out Tangerine because of our Aveda-exclusive approach. If you have concerns, your colorist will perform a patch test and customize your formula.
Absolutely — balayage is one of the most popular services for first-time color clients because the result is natural and the maintenance is forgiving. Our Allen colorists work with your natural base to create subtle dimension that enhances what you already have, rather than a dramatic change.
