Questions about free balayage
Do I need a certain hair color for free balayage?
+
Each stylist lists what they're practicing. Many want natural or previously-colored medium-length hair — share a photo when you message them.
How long does a balayage model session take?
+
Usually 3–5 hours including toning and styling, since color training is detailed work.
Why would a salon do my hair for free?
+
Stylists in training need real people to practice on before they work with paying clients. Salons and beauty schools run model sessions so apprentices can build skills and portfolios — you get the service free or at a big discount.
How do I book a model session?
+
Open a session, tap Message, and introduce yourself with a recent photo of your hair. The stylist will confirm the time and any requirements.
Who does the work?
+
Apprentices, assistants, and beauty-school students — usually supervised by an educator or senior stylist who checks the result.
