Clean Color, Painted With Intention
Organic balayage at The Clean Beauty Lab is more than a color service—it’s a ritual in light, tone, and touch. Each application is crafted by certified stylists using our Clean Color Technology®, a high-performance, non-toxic system free from ammonia, PPDs, resorcinol, and synthetic fragrance.
We work with nutrient-rich, plant-derived formulas infused with marula, avocado, and jojoba oils that condition the hair as they lift and tone. The result is a dimensional, light-reflective color that enhances your natural texture, supports scalp health, and grows in softly over time.
Every stroke is intentional. Every tone is tailored. It’s color that honors both the beauty you wear and the body you live in.

FAQ's
What does a balayage do to your hair?
It adds soft, natural highlights that grow out gracefully without harsh lines.
What’s the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage is a hand-painted technique that offers more blended, natural results.
Highlights are typically applied in foils and create a more uniform contrast.
What hair types is balayage best for?
All hair types—from fine to coily—can benefit. Our stylists tailor each service to your unique texture and goals.

What’s a mini balayage?
A targeted lightening service for face-framing brightness or subtle lift—great for first-timers or refreshes.
Does balayage involve root coloring?
Not directly, but it softens the root transition. For root coverage, we offer holistic color pairing options.

Using our in-house organic hair care line and scheduling gloss refreshes every 6–8 weeks supports tone and strength over time.
