Colour that grows out gracefully
Inside the salon where balayage appointments are booked months ahead.
By Maria Kessler1 min read

At Copper & Comb Studio, the first fifteen minutes of every colour appointment are spent talking, not painting.
Lived-in colour
The studio specialises in hand-painted balayage that grows out softly, so clients can go three or four months between visits.
Low-tox lines
The colour bar uses ammonia-free lines, and the stylists rotate so nobody breathes product all day.
