Balayage & Hair Color in Millbrae
Hand-painted balayage, dimensional highlights, rich all-over color and bold fashion shades, tailored to you by Leo and the colorists at L2 Hair Salon on Broadway in Millbrae.
Balayage, Ombré & Highlights
Balayage is hand-painted color that blends from your natural root into brighter lengths and ends, so it grows out softly and needs fewer touch-ups than traditional foils. Each look is tailored to your starting color and the result you want, from caramel and brunette balayage to cool ash blonde.
Want more contrast? Ombré melts darker roots into lighter ends, while custom highlights and lowlights add brightness and depth exactly where you want them.
Fashion Colors, Blonding & Toning
From pastel pink and lavender to vivid red, copper and icy silver, our colorists create bold fashion shades and bright blondes, with careful bleach work that protects your hair’s health and integrity.
Between appointments, a root touch-up keeps regrowth seamless, and a custom toner neutralizes brassiness to refresh blonde, balayage and highlights.

Can you fix brassy or uneven color?
A custom toner neutralizes brassiness and refreshes blonde, balayage and highlights. For bigger color corrections, send a photo first so our stylists can assess what’s possible.
