What the service includes
Geneva’s service record lists this offering as a full balayage with haircut, though it’s named Partial Highlight. That means your appointment bundles lived-in color work and a haircut into a single visit. The published duration is 120 MINUTES and the price is $310; the in-chair consultation defines the exact scope for your hair.
Deciding how much lightening and where to place it depends on your natural base, prior color, and hair density. We factor in daily routines common to Portland — commuting, events or family schedules — when choosing placement so you get visible lift without frequent, disruptive touch-ups.
How we place the color
Placement for a lived-in result focuses on sections that frame the face and work with movement from the cut. Instead of lightening every strand, the stylist selects panels and face-framing pieces that add contrast and depth while keeping regrowth discreet and natural between visits.
Because the haircut is included, the stylist sculpts lengths and layers to integrate lightened pieces. Combining color and cut in a single 120 MINUTES appointment lets the team refine how light interacts with shape so the finished look reads as one cohesive style.
Care and upkeep planning
Aftercare influences how fresh the color appears. We recommend color-safe routines, mindful heat use and protective styling against frequent wet weather, which can change how styles sit. Your stylist will give tailored aftercare guidance during the appointment to suit your hair and local climate.
Follow-up timing is individualized: the stylist and client map refresh windows based on growth patterns, activity level and maintenance commitment. Geneva’s serves Portland and nearby communities like Gresham and Beaverton, and offers appointment times that fit early mornings, lunchtimes and evenings.
