How Much Does Balayage Cost in Lone Tree?
Balayage starts at $155 for shorter hair with a standard amount of color placement. For longer or thicker hair — or for a more dimensional, customized result — the price increases to reflect the additional time and product required.
Here's how our full highlights menu is priced:
- Balayage: Starting at $155
- Full Highlight (long hair, underarm length or lower): Starting at $140
- Partial Highlight: Starting at $95
- Mini Partial: Starting at $80
- Tint + Full Highlight: Starting at $165
- Tint + Partial Highlights: Starting at $130
- Tint + Mini Partial: Starting at $95
A toner is typically recommended after balayage to neutralize brassiness and lock in the final shade. Toner at Burman & Co starts at $60, and most clients add it to the same appointment rather than booking separately.
What Affects the Price of Balayage?
Hair Length and Density
Longer hair requires more product and more time. Hair past your shoulders costs more to balayage than chin-length hair. Thick, dense hair also takes more work than fine hair of the same length, so density factors into the final price.
How Much Lift Is Needed
Balayage on hair that's already close to your goal tone takes less time than balayage on very dark hair that needs significant lift. The bigger the gap between your starting color and your target color, the more product and time are involved — and the higher the price.
Toner
Most balayage clients need a toner to achieve the soft, dimensional finish that makes balayage look polished rather than patchy. This is typically done at the end of the same appointment. If you're going lighter or want a specific cool, ashy, or golden tone, a toner is almost always worth adding.
Add-On Treatments
Some clients add a deep conditioning treatment or bond pro treatment to their balayage appointment, especially if the hair has been previously lightened or processed. These protect hair health during the lightening process and improve how the color looks and holds up between appointments.
How Often Do You Need to Come Back?
One of the main reasons clients choose balayage over foil highlights is the maintenance schedule. Because the color starts away from the root and creates a gradual, natural transition, most clients can go 10 to 16 weeks between full appointments — sometimes longer.
Many clients return for a toner refresh around 8 to 10 weeks to keep the tone looking intentional, then do a full balayage every four to six months. Over the course of a year, this can make balayage more cost-effective than foil highlights even if the individual appointment costs more upfront.
How Does Balayage Compare to Other Highlights?
If you want defined, bright pieces close to the root, foil highlights will give you more precision and lift than balayage alone. If you want a softer, more natural-looking result with a longer, lower-maintenance grow-out, balayage is the better choice. Many clients combine both techniques — foils near the face for brightness, balayage through the lengths for a blended, sun-kissed finish.
For a detailed breakdown of both techniques side by side, read our guide: Balayage vs. Foil Highlights: How to Choose.
Does Balayage Cost More in Colorado?
Prices in Colorado's south Denver suburbs — including Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Parker, and Castle Rock — are generally consistent with the Denver metro market. Expect to pay more at a boutique salon with experienced colorists and a real consultation process than at a chain salon or a newer stylist renting a suite.
At Burman & Co, our pricing reflects 26 years of Toni & Guy training, ongoing advanced education, and the time required to do the service properly. A balayage appointment with us typically runs 2 to 3 hours, which includes a consultation, the color application, processing time, toning, and a blow-dry.
How to Maintain Balayage Between Appointments
To protect your investment and stretch the time between appointments:
- Use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo to slow fading
- Add a purple or blue toning shampoo once a week to fight brassiness as the color oxidizes
- Protect hair from Colorado's intense UV exposure — altitude means stronger sun year-round — with a UV-protection spray or leave-in
- Book a toner refresh every 8 to 10 weeks to keep the tone looking intentional rather than faded
