A Safer Approach to Blonde Hair

Why Barcelona’s blondes trust our chair.

Many salons rush blonde work with strong bleach. Our entire method is built around slow lifting, honest consultation, and hair integrity.

  • Slow lift, healthy hair

    We use small sections and low peroxide over 4 to 5 unhurried hours so your hair lifts safely without breakage.

  • Custom-blended toners

    We never use a single shade off the shelf—every L’Oréal hyaluronic acid toner is custom-mixed for your features.

  • All-inclusive, zero upsells

    Bond protection, toning, haircut, and blow-dry are always included in one clear price agreed before we begin.

Transparent All-Inclusive Blonde Pricing

What goes into our blonde work.

No-surprise checkout pricing that includes professional consultation, hair diagnosis, bond protection, an OLAPLEX treatment, a hyaluronic acid toner, unlimited drinks, and a cut & blow-dry.

Our Blonde Consultation & Colouring Process

Unhurried craft at every step.

We book full blonde sessions at 10:00 or 15:00 so your stylist can dedicate 4 to 5 calm hours to your hair.

  1. 01

    Sit-Down Consultation & Price Alignment

    Over coffee or a cocktail, we listen first. We assess your natural root, hair history, and fibre health, align on how the shade will behave in 6 and 12 weeks, and confirm your all-inclusive price.

  2. 02

    60–90 Min Micro-Sectioning & Slow Lift

    We take fine sections with gentle peroxide levels and let your hair lift slowly for up to an hour — checking on you every 20 minutes so we never force or damage the fibre.

  3. 03

    Wash Lounge Repair & Hyaluronic Toning

    In our lie-flat massage wash chairs, we apply bond-rebuilding treatments (Olaplex, Metal Detox, or Genoma) before custom-blending L’Oréal hyaluronic acid toners for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. 04

    Cut, Daylight Check & 6–8 Week Plan

    We finish with your haircut, styling, and a natural window daylight check. We map out your home care and 6–8 week refresh — and if a tone ever needs a tiny tweak after settling, we adjust it free of charge.

Luxury Hair Salon Experience & Private Room

Four hours that feel like home.

While your blonde processes gently, relax with a cocktail from our bar, unwind in our massage lounge, or work comfortably at our Wi-Fi table.

  • Lie-Flat Wash Lounge

    Unwind in our quiet backwash zone with full-recline massage wash chairs during your conditioning and toning rituals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions before your visit. Still unsure? Request an appointment or message us on WhatsApp.

  • Should I book Highlights or Balayage?

    Highlights lift hair from the root to the ends for all-over brightness. Balayage and AirTouch keep your natural root softer and transition into lighter ends for a 3–4 month grow-out. Don’t worry if you aren’t sure — we choose the best technique together during your consultation.

  • Why are all your blonde prices all-inclusive?

    Healthy blonde requires proper protection and toning. Every blonde service includes consultation, bond protection (Olaplex, Metal Detox, or Genoma), custom hyaluronic toning, haircut, and blow-dry — so we never compromise on quality and you never get surprise add-ons at checkout.

  • How long does a full blonde session take?

    Because we use fine micro-sections and gentle, low-peroxide formulas without rushing, full blonde sessions take 4 to 5 hours (usually booked at 10:00 or 15:00). While your colour processes, you can enjoy complimentary drinks or work at our Wi-Fi table.

  • Can you fix brassy or damaged blonde hair from another salon?

    Yes — gentle colour correction is one of our specialities. Hair health always comes first. We will assess your hair’s condition and be 100% honest about what we can safely achieve in one visit versus a gradual recovery plan.

  • Can I go from dark dye to bright blonde in one visit?

    Lifting dark or black dye to bright blonde in a single day usually risks breakage. If your hair has dark dye, we will map out a safe multi-visit plan during your consultation so your hair stays healthy at every step.

  • How often do I need to maintain my blonde?

    Blonde hair is semi-permanent and rewards good care. We recommend a quick gloss and treatment refresh after 6 to 8 weeks to keep the tone luminous, and a full or half-head highlight session every 3 to 4 months.

  • What if I want a small tone adjustment after washing my hair at home?

    We are always on your side. If your toner settles after a wash or you wish the front were a touch brighter, simply message us within 7 days and we will happily fine-tune it free of charge.
