Aveda Hair Color in San Rafael

Plant-based color, formulated for your skin tone and your features, by a master colorist with a Vidal Sassoon cutting background.

Bilancio means balance

Color built around your face, your skin, and your features.

At Bilancio, we strive to create balance with every service we provide. Your face shape, skin coloring, and personality are all an integral part of achieving your perfect image. We are Aveda Artists, which means plant-based color and a formula built for you rather than a swatch on a chart.

When you wear extensions, your color has to match twice over: your own hair and your REMY hair. If your color doesn't blend perfectly, it's a dead giveaway you have extensions. Custom coloring both is the heart of what we do.

Color at Bilancio

What we do in the chair.

Custom color

Aveda color formulated to your skin tone and features, whether that is dimensional blonde, lived-in brunette, or a refresh of what you have.

Extension color match

We bring out the hair at your consultation, then custom color both the REMY hand-tied hair and your natural hair so the blend is invisible.

Color education

You leave knowing what was done, why, and what to use at home. Every guest gets taught as we go. That is how we have worked since 2008.

Five things your stylist wants to know before your color appointment

Here at Salon Bilancio, we want to make sure we are sending you out the door with a color you absolutely love. A few things help us get there.

  1. Your color history. Box color, previous lightening, henna, anything in the last two years. It changes what we can safely do in one visit.
  2. Inspiration photos. Bring three. We will tell you honestly what is realistic for your hair and your skin tone.
  3. How you wash and style at home. Once a week or every day, hot tools or air dry. Color is formulated for the life it will actually live.
  4. Whether you wear or want extensions. It changes the formula, because we color the hair to match you, not the other way around.
  5. Your maintenance budget. Some looks are every four weeks, some are every four months. Say which one you want and we will build for it.
