Signature Service

Hair Color & Blonding

Professional color, highlights, balayage, and custom blonde services at The Wild Berry Salon in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida. Tone and dimension designed to look expensive in natural light.

What Is It

Hair Color & Blonding

Hair color is a salon service that deposits or adjusts pigment to change tone, cover grays, or add depth. Blonding is a lightening service that increases brightness with techniques such as highlights and balayage, then refines tone with a toner or gloss.

The Wild Berry Salon matches tone and placement to skin tone, lifestyle, and upkeep goals so color grows out more gracefully. Clients across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Fort Lauderdale book color for beach season, events, and everyday polish.

The Process

How Hair Color & Blonding Works

The Wild Berry Salon uses a consultation-first process that protects hair health and avoids surprises at the sink.

The Wild Berry Salon confirms the goal shade, reviews prior color history, and builds a plan that fits the timeline and maintenance preference.

2 to 4 Hours

Depends on hair length, density, starting color, and whether the service includes lightening, toning, gray coverage, or corrective work.

01

Consultation

02

Hair History Review

The Wild Berry Salon reviews previous color, lightener, and at-home products to protect hair integrity.

03

Technique & Placement

The Wild Berry Salon applies color, highlights, or balayage for dimension tailored to your hair and lifestyle.

04

Tone & Refine

Finish & Aftercare

Longevity

How Long Will It Last?

Most color looks its best for 6 to 10 weeks before needing a refresh, depending on the technique and your hair growth. Gray coverage often needs more frequent touch-ups.

Blonding and dimensional color often refresh on a longer schedule when the blend is designed for grow-out. For events, a fresh finish from The Berry Affect helps the color look brighter and more defined in photos.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Protect tone and shine with habits that reduce fading and brassiness. The Wild Berry Salon recommends an upkeep plan based on shade, hair health, and daily routine.
