Casey is fantastic! I’ve had my hair done at so many salons across SoCal, and my experience here was the best. She is professional, friendly, efficient, skilled, and flexible with scheduling. Casey matched my hair color perfectly, and also gave me a gorgeous cut. This is 100% my new regular salon for roots, hair cuts, and any other special services when I need them. Not to mention cute and convenient location and great relaxed beach vibe....more

I came in with a hair horror story. I left feeling wonderful about my hair.

Rewind 2 weeks… I went into my local salon And asked for highlights I had medium brown hair and I left with a super brassy red disgusting damaged hair all over. My stylist said she tried a new technique. I’m guessing a bowl base lift and super messed up my hair. She charged me 300 bucks and I came back in for a fix. The fixing person just threw a ton of toner on my head and turned my hair a muddy green. I went into the hair lounge La Jolla and she spent the time did a highlight low light fixed. My hair used wonderful products that would not damage it and she was super kind and reasonably priced. I would definitely suggest this place for anyone who would like to have their hair colored....more

I cannot recommend The Hair Lounge of La Jolla enough! I walked in feeling a little stuck with my hair and left feeling like a brand new version of myself. Absolute game-changer.
Casey is phenomenal. She has that rare combination of technical skill and creative vision. I told her I wanted to go lighter and brighter while keeping it low-maintenance, and she nailed it perfectly. The balayage she did is stunning...more

In the first few minutes of meeting Casey, I could tell she is an experienced and talented hair professional. She has a keen eye for detail and a true passion for transformation. I came to Casey in tears with over processed, semi color corrected highlights that I was still unhappy with from a different salon. I’m beyond impressed with how she turned my hair into something so beautiful. Don’t walk, run to this salon if you’re looking for high-end, quality services!...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Balayage Highlighting.

How long does Balayage Highlighting take at the salon on average?

Typical appointments vary by hair length, density, and chosen service (partial or full). Expect 1.5 to 3 hours including coloring and processing. Consultation and optional Olaplex or toner time may extend the appointment slightly.

Will Balayage Highlighting damage my hair or cause breakage if done frequently?

When performed by experienced stylists we prioritize hair health using gentle lightening, bond-building treatments, and proper timing. Regular deep-conditioning and avoiding excessive heat reduces risk. Full balayage may require more care than partial, but damage is minimized with professional techniques.

How often should I refresh Balayage Highlighting color appointments to maintain vibrancy?

Many clients return every 3–4 months for toning or glossing to restore brightness. Partial balayage can last longer between visits; full balayage may need earlier attention. Home care with color-safe products extends salon results.

Can Balayage Highlighting be done on previously colored hair with permanent or semi-permanent dyes?

Yes — experienced colorists assess previous color, porosity, and condition before proceeding. Sometimes a color correction, strand test, or multiple sessions are needed to achieve desired lift safely. We'll recommend treatments and timing to protect hair integrity.

Do you offer ombre ends with Balayage Highlighting services and is it extra cost?

Yes, ombre ends are available as an optional finish for a more graduated look. Our stylists will discuss placement and pricing during consultation. Because it requires additional lightening and blending, ombre may add time and a modest service fee.

Is a blowdry included with Balayage Highlighting appointments or should I plan extra time?

Blowdry is not included; balayage services focus on color application and processing. You can book a blowdry or styling add-on when scheduling or at checkout. Allow extra time if you want a finished style after your color service.
