15–20% is standard in Salt Lake County. Cash or card both work. Not required, always appreciated.

Color & Balayage

How long does balayage last?+

Most clients rebook a maintenance paint every 12–16 weeks, with a 30-minute toning gloss every 6–8 weeks to keep tone fresh.

Will going lighter damage my hair?+

Lifting hair always changes its structure, but bond-builders woven into the lightener dramatically reduce damage. Sammy will tell you up front if your goal needs more than one session to reach safely.

Can you fix a color from another salon?+

Yes — color corrections are one of Sammy's specialties. Bring photos and we'll quote it during the consultation.

Should I come with clean or dirty hair for color?+

Day-old hair holds color and lift better. Do not shampoo right before your appointment.

Men's Hair

What types of fades do you do?+

All of them: low fade, mid fade, high fade, skin fade, taper fade, drop fade, burst fade. Bring a photo if you have a specific look in mind.

How often should I get a fade?+

Skin fades 1–2 weeks. Mid/low fades 2–3 weeks. High fades 1.5–2.5 weeks. The shorter and tighter the fade, the more often you want it refreshed.
