KIM GILES · UTC / LA JOLLA
Balayage
near UTC & La Jolla.
Balayage is an approach to placement—not one fixed finished look. Kim plans lightening, tone, and contrast around your starting color, inspiration, and the upkeep you want.

Hand-painted lightening placement can create different degrees of brightness and contrast. Your current color, previous services, and desired finish guide the plan. A clear consultation matters more than a trend name.
Let’s talk about maintenance
Balayage is not automatically low-maintenance. Placement, tone, starting color, and target contrast all affect the care and follow-up you may want. Kim will help you choose a plan for your hair and the result you want, including what may take more than one visit.
When to contact Kim first
If you have previous dark or artificial color, want significant lightening, or are deciding between balayage and highlights, send Kim current-hair and inspiration photos. Before booking, ask whether toner is included and which combination appointment fits your plan.
