About the treatment

Hair contouring is a technique where the stylist and colourist work together toward one goal — so the cut and colour highlight your face geometry instead of existing side by side. It is not "just another colouring" — it is contouring of the whole hairstyle: length, layers, and the direction of the colour strands.

How it works

We start with a consultation — assessing your face shape, hair density and structure, and any previous colouring. Based on that, we plan where the cut adds volume and where the colour visually elongates or softens your features. Colour strands are placed to follow the lines of the cut — this is what sets contouring apart from regular balayage or airtouch, where colour is independent of the hairstyle's shape.

Who it is for

We recommend hair contouring for anyone who wants their hairstyle to "work" for their face — visually correcting proportions and adding lightness or structure. It fits well when changing length, refreshing old colouring under a new cut, or simply when you want a cohesive transformation rather than a separate cut and separate colour.

How long it takes

Short hair — 350 zł, 210 minutes. Medium hair — 400 zł, 240 minutes. Long hair — 450 zł, 270 minutes. Price depends on hair length and density; we confirm the final quote at your consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How is hair contouring different from balayage?
Balayage is a colouring technique where colour is applied independently of the cut's shape. Hair contouring combines the cut and colour into one composition: colour strands are placed along the cut lines so together they visually sculpt your face. Both techniques can also be combined in one treatment.
Which face shapes suit hair contouring?
Contouring works regardless of face shape — we choose the cut and colour individually to visually correct exactly what matters to you: elongating, softening, or adding symmetry. We assess this during the consultation before the treatment.
How long does hair contouring take?
From 210 minutes for short hair to 270 minutes for long — it's a process combining cutting, colouring, and styling, so it's worth setting aside your whole evening.
How long does the contouring effect last?
Similar to other partial-colouring techniques — usually 3-5 months before regrowth becomes noticeable. The exact time depends on your natural colour and hair growth rate.
Does contouring require pre-lightening my hair?
Not always. It depends on your current colour and goal — sometimes toning and precise cutting are enough, sometimes select sections need lightening. The colourist will assess this at the consultation and tell you honestly what's needed.
