Balayage & Aveda Hair Color in Dallas

Explore our full Hair Color Guide.
What balayage is — and why Dallas guests love it
Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates soft, dimensional brightness without harsh foil lines. Color is swept onto the surface of the hair for a natural grow-out — ideal for Dallas guests who want polished, lived-in color with fewer full highlight appointments.
Freehand-painted brightness concentrated where it matters most — around your face, through the mid-lengths, and at the ends. Our Dallas colorists customize every placement to your haircut, part line, and how you actually wear your hair day to day. Results grow out softly over 3–6 months.
Best for: low-maintenance blondes, event-ready dimension, photo-friendly color.
Precision foil work for guests who want more uniform lift and maximum brightness. Our Preston Hollow colorists pair highlights with custom Aveda toners — cool platinum, warm honey, soft champagne — so the final result looks cohesive rather than stripy.
Best for: maximum contrast, gray blending, clients going significantly lighter.
Full-coverage Aveda color for saturated, root-to-end results — or expert-level correction work for guests coming from other salons. Our Dallas team regularly resolves banding, brassiness, uneven lift, and chemical damage across multi-session correction plans.
Best for: full gray coverage, dramatic transformations, undoing past color damage.
Why Dallas guests choose Tangerine for color
Preston Hollow Village has no shortage of salons — but the Park Cities color clientele keeps coming back to Tangerine because we treat hair color as a craft, not a checkbox. Over two decades of advanced education, premium Aveda formulas, and a concierge experience designed for guests who expect the best.
Our Dallas colorists complete ongoing Aveda training in balayage, foilayage, and toner chemistry — the same education behind the color you see on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, featured on Netflix's America's Sweethearts.

Balayage that looks effortless — because it isn't
Balayage questions our Dallas guests ask most
Balayage pricing varies by stylist level (Protege, Studio, Senior, Master), hair length, and how much lightening is needed. Starting prices are on our service menu, and your exact investment is confirmed during your complimentary consultation at Preston Hollow Village.
Most balayage guests at our Dallas salon spend about 3 to 4 hours, including consultation, lightening, toner or gloss, and a finished blowout. Settle in with complimentary wine or Aveda tea while your color develops.
Many Dallas guests refresh their tone every 6 to 8 weeks and schedule full balayage updates every 3 to 6 months, depending on brightness goals. Your colorist will create a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific color and lifestyle.
Any lightening changes the hair structure, but we use Aveda's plant-based lighteners and Botanical Repair treatments to protect and strengthen hair throughout the process. Our colorists assess hair health at every appointment and adjust formulas accordingly to maintain integrity.
Traditional highlights use foils for uniform brightness and more contrast. Balayage is hand-painted and leaves more depth at the root for a softer, more natural grow-out. Many of our Dallas guests combine both techniques for maximum dimension. Your colorist will recommend the best approach during your consultation.
