During your consultation, our expert colourists assess your hair type, natural colour, complexion and lifestyle to create a fully personalized balayage. For very dark or damaged hair, we may recommend preparation or a staged transformation plan to preserve hair health.

Hair Botox BTX is an intensive restorative treatment that fills damaged hair fibres with a formula rich in amino acids, keratin and vitamins. Despite its name, it contains no toxin and works by restoring the hair's internal structure. Benefits include visibly smoother, shinier and softer hair, significantly less frizz, easier styling, and results lasting 3 to 6 months depending on hair type and maintenance. It is especially suited to hair damaged by heat, colour or environmental exposure. Visit our Treatments page to learn more.

Care and Maintenance
-
To keep your balayagebeautiful and fresh, use shampoo and conditioner formulated for colour-treated hair, preferably sulfate-free; apply a nourishing mask weekly; use heat protectant before blow-drying, flat-ironing or curling; avoid prolonged summer sun exposure without hair UV protection; and return to the salon every 8 to 14 weeks for a refresh based on growth and fading. Our stylistes will provide personalized product recommendations at every visit.
-
Frequency varies according to the type of hair colour and your rate of hair growth. Schedule a root touch-up or permanent colour every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on visible regrowth and contrast with your chosen shade. Schedule balayage every 8 to 16 weeks because it grows out more naturally. Schedule Botox BTX capillaire or Taninoplastie every 3 to 6 months, depending on hair condition and the longevity of results. Your stylist will make a personalized recommendation during your visit.
-
We carefully select premium professional products that minimize harsh ingredients. Many of our colour and treatment formulas are ammonia-free or low in ammonia, reducing odour and potential damage. Tell your stylist about known sensitivities or allergies during your consultation so we can tailor our approach and recommend suitable formulas. A patch test is available upon request before colour services.
-
Absolutely. Our range of hair treatments is designed for hair weakened by repeated colour, heat or environmental exposure. Hair Botox BTX and taninoplasty are our signature restorative treatments. During your consultation, your stylist will assess your hair and propose a tailored care plan that may combine treatments for optimal results. Healthy hair is always our first priority.
