As a Dallas blonde specialist at Bigger Better Hair, I take our blonde hair color services seriously because, after all, this is Dallas!

After reading this, I hope you will be able to confidently pick which of our Dallas Blonde services will get to you to the look you are wanting!
Service: Balayage (Partial)
Service Breakdown: A balayage (partial) service includes highlighting part of the head, usually from ear to ear, and front of your hairline to your crown. This is the perfect service to brighten up your hair around your face and to break up your new growth to brighten it up softly.
This service is good for maintaining existing balayage or transforming from a traditional highlight.
Timing for this depends on how much hair you have but ranges anywhere from 1hr30-2hrs.
Pro Tip: Most of the time, we also need to schedule an +add on color gloss service after the balayage appointment to tone and balance the blonde afterwards, unless your natural hair is fairly light to begin with.
Service: Balayage (Full)
She wanted to transition into a more lived in look, so we decided on a Balayage (Full) Service.
This brighened up around her face and connected her new growth to the old blonde around her crown. Then we brightened up some of her ends to create more brightness throughout her mid lengths to ends.
We finished the look with an +add on gloss service to perfectly balance and tone her hair to a cool shade.
Service Breakdown: A balayage (full) has no limitations, since we are working with the entire head you can achieve a complete transformation with this service.
Most of our clients get this service every couple of months to brighten up their entire head so the back doesn’t get too dark. This service is also good for someone who has never had a balayage and is looking for a major change.
Timing for this depends on how much hair you have but ranges anywhere from 1hr30-3hrs.
Pro tip: Most of the time, we also need to schedule an +add on color gloss service after the balayage appointment to tone and balance the blonde afterwards, unless your natural hair is fairly light to begin with.
Service: Foil | Partial
Because her natural hair is so light to begin, we don’t need to tone her hair after highlighting. Most clients, however, need a toner to even out their blonde after highlighting.
Foil |Partial: This service is good for maintaining your blonde and saying goodbye to those roots. Most of my clients get this service every 6-8 weeks. It takes anywhere from 1hr30-2hrs. If you are lucky enough to lighten perfectly like the client shown above, no toner is needed. However, most of us need a toner to help balance the tone and perfect the shade you are wanting.

Service: Blonding | Double Process (Partial)
Client Back Story: This client has a bit darker of a natural, so after doing a Foil Highlights | Partial, we toned and balanced her blonde.
Double Process Partial: A double process Partial is almost the same as a foil partial, except it includes a toner, root color, or gloss. This takes anywhere from 1hr30-2hrs and needs to be maintained every 6-8 weeks, even just for a toner refresh.
Service: Blonding | Double Process (Full)
This client has a bit darker of a natural, so after doing a Foil Highlights | Full, we toned and balanced her blonde.
Double Process Full: A double process full is a full highlight and includes a toner, root color, or gloss. This takes anywhere from 2-3hrs and can be done every so often to brighten everything up or go blonder.
Service: Blonding | Double Process Lift & Tone (Roots)
This client prefers a solid blonde look, so every 6-8 wees we do a Lift & Tone service where we lighten her entire new growth. We followed up with a gloss to balance her blonde, which is included with this service.
Double Process Lift and Tone Roots: A double process lift and tone is for those blondes who don’t like to see an ounce of roots. This look is a solid blonde and needs to be maintained every 3-5 weeks.
Service: Blonding | Double Process Lift & Tone (Full Strand)
Double Process Lift and Tone Full Strand: This service is very similar to a Double Process Lift and Tone Root, except it’s full strand. With this service, you can brighten up your already solid blonde color, or we sometimes offer this service if someone is looking for a major change of their overall color.
