What is the difference between foils and balayage?
Foils lift saturated, uniform brightness from close to the root, which suits classic highlighted looks and gray blending. Balayage is painted by hand onto the surface of the hair, so the result is softer, more sun-kissed, and grows out without a hard line. Many Pineville clients end up with a blend of both, foils for brightness and balayage for a natural finish.
How often should I refresh my highlights?
A full foil typically holds 10 to 14 weeks, with many clients booking a $100 partial in between to keep the face-framing pieces bright. Balayage stretches even longer because there is no root line to chase. A $20 toner partway through refreshes the tone when blonde starts drifting warm.
Can I go blonde in one appointment?
It depends on your starting color and hair history. Virgin medium-brown hair can often reach a bright dimensional blonde in one session, while previously colored or very dark hair may need staged appointments to stay healthy. Sonja will tell you plainly at the consultation what one visit can and cannot do.
