Colour and balayage

Dimensional colour, tailored to you. Whether you are after soft, lived-in balayage, a rich all-over shade or a few bright money pieces, our colour work is matched to your hair, your skin tone and how much upkeep fits your life. Every appointment starts with a proper consultation, right here in Papatoetoe, so the result suits you and grows out beautifully.

How it works

  1. 1

    Book and consult

    We talk through the shade you want, your hair history and how much upkeep suits you.

    We paint, foil or apply your colour by hand and let it develop while you relax.

    Gloss and style

    We tone, gloss, cut and blow-wave so you leave with the finished look, not homework.

Why Glam Garage

We keep appointments unhurried, so there is time to get your colour exactly right rather than rushing you through. Everything is finished with a gloss and style, and we are a local Papatoetoe studio, so it is easy to pop back for a toner or root touch-up when you need one.

Colour questions, answered

How much does balayage cost in Papatoetoe?

Balayage at Glam Garage starts from $220 as a guide. Your final price depends on hair length and thickness, and we confirm it at your consultation before we begin.

How long does a colour appointment take?

Most colour appointments run two to three hours. A full transformation or a first balayage can take longer, and we will give you a realistic time when you book.

Will colour damage my hair?

We work in stages and finish with bond-building and gloss treatments so your hair leaves shinier and healthier than a box colour ever could.
