Services we offer
We specialize in creating seamless, low-maintenance hair color that looks like it could have grown out of your own head. Frequently referred to as lived-in color, this color can be maintained easily every 3 months. Some people can extend their color appointments to once or twice a year. We will create a custom plan based on your hair goal, time availability, and budget. We also have appointments available for grey blending and touchups. These are shorter maintenance appointments, generally. Lastly, haircutting is not an afterthought at moss beauty. A cut that suits you can make or break your look. Whether you are looking for a clean, classic, precise cut or a textured, soft, flowy look, we’ve got you covered.
Balayage
Balayage is a popular hair coloring technique that involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair, creating a natural, sun-kissed look. Unlike traditional foil highlights, where color is applied in precise sections, balayage is more freehand, allowing for a soft, blended transition from dark to light tones. The result is typically more subtle and less uniform, with highlights concentrated towards the ends and a gradual fade towards the roots.
The word "balayage" comes from the French word "balayer," meaning "to sweep," which refers to the sweeping motion the stylist uses when applying the color. This technique is often chosen for its low-maintenance nature, as the grow-out is softer and less noticeable than with regular highlights. It's ideal for people seeking a more natural, effortless hair color.
Many salons call “lived-in” highlights “balayage”. Balayage does not utilize foils to achieve lightness. What sets balayage apart is the precision and art of the application. This is a technique that caterers uniquely to you and your head of hair. Each sweep of lightener is placed to mimic the sweet kiss of the sun.

Natural looking hair color
Natural-looking hair color refers to shades that closely resemble the hues found in a person's natural hair, or colors that blend seamlessly with a person’s natural tones for a subtle and effortless look. It can encompass a wide range of colors, from soft browns, blondes, and reds, to deeper shades like black or dark brown. The key to natural-looking hair is the overall harmony of tones, with highlights and lowlights that mimic the way hair would naturally lighten or darken with sun exposure or seasonal changes.
Blondes: A natural blonde color often has a mix of warm, golden undertones and cooler, ash-toned highlights. The key is blending so it doesn’t look overly platinum or one-dimensional.
Brunettes: Natural brunettes may have warm, rich chocolate tones or cooler ash-brown hues. Lowlights and highlights can be added to give dimension and depth, making the color look more natural and less flat.
Redheads: Natural red hair usually has a mix of copper, auburn, and strawberry tones. A natural-looking red can include soft highlights and lowlights to enhance its vibrancy.
Ultimately, the goal of natural-looking hair color is to enhance the hair’s depth and texture while keeping it soft, understated, and effortlessly beautiful.
