The Koztello team are skilled in proper hair extension application techniques that minimise stress on your locks, ensuring both the longevity of the extensions and the health of your natural hair.

The lifespan of hair extensions depends on various factors, such as the type of extensions used, how well they are maintained, and your hair growth cycle.

Balayage is a hair colouring technique where highlights are hand-painted onto the hair to create a natural, sun-kissed effect. Unlike traditional foiling techniques, balayage results in softer, more blended transitions between shades, giving a more natural look with less noticeable regrowth lines.

Balayage is versatile and can be adapted to suit different hair types and lengths. It's particularly great for those looking for a low-maintenance hair colour option that grows out beautifully.

During your appointment at Koztello Salon, our stylists will assess your hair texture, colour history, and desired outcome to determine if balayage is the best choice for you.

One of the benefits of balayage is its low-maintenance nature. Because the highlights are painted on in a way that mimics natural hair growth patterns, regrowth is less noticeable compared to traditional highlights. Depending on your hair growth and desired look, touch-ups are typically needed every 8-12 weeks to maintain your balayage.

Yes, balayage can be adapted for both light and dark hair colours. Our skilled colourists at Koztello Salon can create custom balayage effects that complement your natural base colour, whether you're aiming for subtle caramel tones on dark brown hair or dramatic blonde balayage on black hair.

During your consultation, we'll discuss options that enhance your features and suit your style preferences.

Colour correction is a process used to fix hair colour that has been compromised or altered undesirably. This could involve correcting uneven tones, addressing brassy hues, or adjusting a colour that didn't turn out as expected.

It's necessary when you're unhappy with your current hair colour or if there are noticeable inconsistencies that need to be corrected.

You may need colour correction if your current hair colour is significantly different from your desired result, if there are patchy or uneven areas, or if you've experienced unexpected colour changes (such as brassiness or fading).

During a consultation at Koztello Salon, our colour specialists will assess your hair and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired colour.

The duration of a colour correction appointment can vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the desired outcome. It may range from a few hours to a full day, especially if multiple steps are required to achieve the desired colour result. Our colourists will provide a timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.

After a colour correction appointment at Koztello Salon, you can expect to see a significant improvement in the appearance of your hair colour and condition.

Our stylists will provide recommendations for maintaining your new colour, including the use of colour-safe products and scheduling follow-up appointments as needed to keep your hair looking its best.
