The Balayage Studio

Jan 31, 2025

The Balayage Studio was probably the best experience I’ve had at a hair salon while living in Utah. The whole experience was great! Yais always does an AMAZING job with my hair coloring!! She gave me exactly what I was looking for.

Abi Did an amazing job! My hair is dry and bleached out and hard to work with and she still made it exactly how I wanted and for $70 with a wash, cut, and style!? Amazing place Thanks Abi

I took a model haircut from Mia and she did a fantastic job. She is the cutest thing ever and gave me the gorgeous butterfly haircut I've been wanting for ages. Thanks to Mia and The Balayage Studio for giving me an incredible experience.

Abbey was my stylist and she did so amazing I felt so beautiful when she was finished. She was kind and my hair feels so soft and I will definitely be coming back

Abi is amazing!! I've had red hair for a couple years and Abi is helping me go more blonde and I'm loving it. I get my hair cut by her as well and I love that she's so careful throughout the appointment. I've never had a hair stylist that's not rough with my fine hair until Abi

I cannot recommend this studio enough. Every time I come, I feel like Yais totally listens to my vision for my hair and exceeds my expectations! She will also treat you with a complimentary coffee from the local coffee shop next door. The salon is so beautiful and peaceful. I seriously look forward to every one of my appointments because I feel so luxurious while I’m there. So so glad I discovered this darling hair salon in SLC!

I can’t recommend the balayage studio enough! Such a cute and clean space! I booked a balayage with Kristen after my hair stylist decided to cancel on me on my birthday, and before I booked, I reached out to her with my hair inspo. She reassured me that she would be able to give me what I wanted, and she definitely did! Getting your hair done can be such a long process, but the hours went by fast, and Kristen nailed it! So happy to have found her on instagram, because I will definitely be back. Thank you!

I got my hair done by Kristen and she did a phenomenal job! I have some remaining dark hair dye from years past and she was able to help me achieve my goal of amazing dimension with easy grow out. She also was able to lighten me and give me a beautiful caramel tone. I love The Balayage Studio. The owner is the sweetest, kindest most amazing human. Kristen is literally my favorite human. The space is decorated so beautifully and the vibe is immaculate. 1000/10, highly recommend.

I have been going to Yais for years. I have trusted her with bangs and my first dive into a bright pink balayage. She is incredible!

Feb 05, 2024

I loooooove what Yais did to my hair! I didn’t want to go too blonde and she gave me the perfect honey balayage. The salon is so cute and the complimentary coffee was delicious. My only regret is not going sooner!!

I tried! I'll preface all of this with Mia was extremely nice & Yais was to during my appointment, but nice isn't enough. I booked a model appointment with Mia, which was listed as being with guidance of a more experienced stylist. When I booked the appointment I requested to consult with the salon to make sure this was the right type of appointment for me. No one reached out so I took the chance. I came in with babylights and tip out. I told Mia that I hoped to incorporate some of my more natural hair color lower down on my hair where it had gotten lightened by repeated coloring and to bring up some of the babylighted coloring to my root which had grown out. What happened was not at all what I asked for though it seemed like what I asked for was possible and going to happen. Instead most of my hair came out the color of my original highlights with some of my root untouched. Additionally, at the beginning of the appointment I told Mia that I liked my cut and just wanted to go an inch shorter. She did that, but then without asking or telling me cut a huge diagonal line at the front of my hair. I was horrified! Yais (the owner) stepped in at this point, which I really appreciated, but the solutions, while better than what Mia did, did not correct for the mistake which easily could have and SHOULD have been avoided. The solution we pursued was to cut my hair ANOTHER INCH, which I did not want to try to mitigate some of the huge diagonal line Mia cut at the front of my hair. It looks better than what Mia did but is NOT what I wanted and I still DO NOT LIKE IT. I was willing to accept that this is what it is. Yais also helped to try to correct the color issue, but while it was good damage control, it didn't fix the huge discrepancy between what I asked for and what I got. I called a few hours after I left the salon to convey that I was not happy with the color and Yais was initially really receptive and tried to help me find a solution and booked me an appointment with another stylist. After doing this, I let her know that Mia had cut the diagonal in my hair without asking me or direction from me to do so. After this Yais told me she was going to CHARGE me for additional corrections, which does not seem right at all to me. I hardly trust them after this experience to try to fix the problem without additional costs. I told Yais this and she went on a loop about how 1) I should have known exactly what balayage was before booking the appointment and that 2) I should have known that it would lighten rather than get me to a color a little closer to my natural color (even though I was never told that by Mia even after I directly asked for it at the beginning of the appointment 3) that I can't expect results that I would like from a model appointment and that I SHOULD have known that as well, and finally 4) that Mia's choice of golden toner was defensible because I asked for something "natural" even though what I asked for was explicitly something less yellow than I had and closer to my natural hair color (which is dirty blonde NOT yellow). After this, she did offer to refund the hair cut which messed up my hair, but this isn't enough to undo the damage that the horrible hair cut has caused & doesn't account for the color! So I took a chance on this studio and new stylist and ended up with the opposite of what I wanted in my color and cut, and my only options now are to pay this salon more money and hope a) I get what I want and b) my hair isn't further damaged, or to spend more money on my hair at another salon. My hair looked more like what I wanted it to before I came in than after I left. It's not at all what I asked for. I think that Balayage Studio should be responsible to it's clients to inform them of what their options are upfront, ask what they want and be sure to understand that before doing anything, and ask for consent before choosing and implementing a hair cut & color. If a stylist can't do that they shouldn't be charging for hair. I paid to have my hair damaged both in cut and color today. SO disappointed.

I was initially happy with how my hair looked at the studio. In spite of the fact that it looked nothing like what I asked for and took a long time and the shampoo service I usually look forward to with a high-end service was the worst I’ve ever had - I considered returning. But when I got home I had several problems- breakage caused by using too heavy a lightener on fine hair and obvious demarcation lines all around the root - which is why I wanted balayage in the first place. So I now have all over blonde hair that is severely damaged. Not happy

Feb 05, 2024

I’ve been going to Yais for nearly 6 years now and just had my hair done by her junior stylist Mia. I’m elated to say that she was absolutely fantastic! She took her time and carefully planned how she wanted each section of my hair to look. She also consulted fellow stylists throughout the process which was super appreciated. Mia is sweet and gentle, and gave me a killer foiliage (I had some residual box dye and she was able to work with it seamlessly!) I’ve always appreciated how The Balayage Studio caters to ethnic hair and can trust them with any of my hair needs. Every stylist is super talented and I’m very happy with my new cut and color. Thanks so much, Mia!

Kristen is the best!! I love my hair so much!

Feb 05, 2024

Mia did an amazing job on my daughters hair! The color and style looked so pretty! Love this studio and had an awesome experience.

Feb 05, 2024

Professional and trendy.

Feb 05, 2024

Yais gave me the best-possible first coloring experience. She was very attentive and worked to get the color I needed. She was very patient with all of my questions and talked me through the whole coloring process. Her assistant Mia was the sweetest and even offered to get me something from the coffee shop next door. The studio is in a beautiful spot downtown with lots of natural light. Considering the quality and expertise you get, the pricing is very fair.

Feb 05, 2024

Yais is a super sweet person & made me feel so comfortable while styling my hair! She did such a phenomenal job with my hair! Such a cute salon!

Feb 05, 2024

Yais is the most amazing stylist! She is full of knowledge. She is so kind and sweet, I had an amazing experience with her and her awesome customer service. If you really want to have a wonderful look, balayage studio is your best option!

Feb 05, 2023

First but not my last time! Karilynn is amazing! Knowledgeable and gives great suggestions. I LOVE my new hair!! I’d been searching since pre-Covid for a new stylist. My search is over!!

Feb 05, 2023

I get my hair done with Nicole and she absolutely amazing! I love her and The Balayage studio, I always feel welcome and comfortable. ❤️

Feb 05, 2023

I've been getting my haircut by Karilynn for 10 years now, and she never disappoints! Every time we've wanted to do something new, she's been my go to source and hype-woman. If you're looking for a new stylist, the Balayage studio is full of great ladies ready to make your hair dreams come true! 10/10 would recommend.

Feb 05, 2023

If I could give The Balayage Studio more than 5 stars, I would! Yais is an expert at what she does. She tailors each dimensional balayage to the client, artfully choosing colors and cuts that bring out the best in every individual client. I've never felt better about my hair. Not only are the services superb, but the stylists are such lovely people and the studio itself is extremely charming. Plus, after a complementary coffee from the local coffee shop next door, you're greeted by the cutest little dog. The Balayage Studio is a true gem; I always leave feeling like the best, most confident version of myself. I now live in NYC, but refuse to find another stylist and will keep coming back to the Balayage Studio in SLC!

Feb 05, 2023

Ive visited a lot of hair salons in Salt Lake City and every time getting my hair done was a nightmare. I visited The Balayage Studio yesterday and my only regret is I didn’t find this place before, the ladies are great and super friendly annd Karilynn is awesome! Her job is a dream, I couldn’t be happier !! 10 stars for them

Feb 05, 2023

I’ve been going to Yais for just shy of a year every 6-8 weeks for balayage and root touch ups and she AMAZING! She corrected my hair after a terrible balayage job from my previous stylist and I would never go to anyone else. Her staff are all amazingly talented professionals and her studio is so cute. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants amazing hair and an awesome experience!

Feb 05, 2023

Karilynn did my hair and she did an amazing job 💝 she listened to me and did everything I asked for. I love my new hairstyle 💇🏻‍♀️

Feb 05, 2023

Karilynn is extremely talented and takes pride in everything she does. From the moment you walk in the studio she is extremely professional and passionate about her work. I enjoy my salon visits with her and look forward to many more!

Feb 05, 2023

Nicole is always super nice, Yais is an absolute sweetheart, and Karilynn will always be my go to gal! I went in with a gnarly head of hair and walked out with the perfect haircut! 12/10 every single time. Thanks gals! UwU

Feb 05, 2023

Nobody will ever color my hair except Karilynn. I’ve been asking stylists my whole life to do a balayage similar to the natural highlights I had as a kid. Nobody has been able to do it except Karilynn!! It was blended so well, and grew out with my natural color so perfectly. Not to mention she was also lovely to spend time with. Highly highly recommend her!!

Feb 05, 2023

This place is sooooooo good! It has a welcoming environment and the stylist treat you like you're long lost friends. Karilynn hyped me up and made me feel confident in the style I chose. She walked me through hair care and gave off big sister vibes. I will definitely be returning in the future. 10/10 recommend 👌

Feb 05, 2023

Yais is a literal ANGEL. Besides getting the best haircut/color of my entire life on my last appointment.. ✨ and every single appointment✨ - i always leave feeling my prettiest. The studio vibes are immaculate & whiskey is the perfect little addition to the atmosphere. I love when i have a vision of what I want and Yais absolutely freaking murders it (in the best way) - she blows my expectations out of the water. She’s giving… artist, therapist, bad b****, bff, professional.. like she’s perfect in every aspect & i don’t ever want another hairstylist again. 💕

Feb 05, 2023

Yais is a miracle worker!
