Hair Color, Balayage & Highlights in Los Altos Hair Color.

Dimensional blonde balayage with soft waves colored at Pursuit Salon in Los Altos

Overview

Hair color at Pursuit Salon in Los Altos ranges from an $85 gloss to balayage and highlights starting at $325, with base color from $150. New color clients begin with a consultation so your colorist can quote an exact price for your hair before any service starts.

Color is Pursuit's deepest bench: the team includes co-owners Rebecca and Whitney plus a roster of dedicated color specialists, most trained through the diPietro Todd apprenticeship tradition. Signatures range from sun-kissed highlights and lived-in balayage to blended brunettes, golden blondes, bleach-and-tones, and fashion vivids.

Because color work is highly individual, length, density, previous color, and the look you're after all change the formula and the time in the chair, new clients are quoted at a consultation rather than from a flat menu.

Hair Color questions, answered

At Pursuit Salon in Los Altos, balayage starts at $325, or $400 when combined with a base color. Because the final price depends on your hair's length, density, and color history, new clients receive an exact quote at a consultation before booking the full service.

Highlights at Pursuit Salon start at $325, or $400 with a base color added. A gloss to refresh tone runs $85 without a blowdry or $185 with one. Prices are starting points, your colorist confirms the exact cost for your hair at consultation.

Color results depend on your hair's history, previous color, lightening, texture, and length all affect the formula, the technique, and the hours required. Pursuit quotes new color clients at a consultation so the price reflects your actual hair rather than a generic menu line. Book a consultation online or call 650.948.4519.

Highlights are woven and foiled from the root for uniform, all-over brightness, while balayage is hand-painted onto the surface of the hair for a softer, sun-kissed gradient that grows out with less of a visible line. At Pursuit both start at $325, and your colorist will recommend the technique that fits your look and maintenance routine.

A gloss is a quick color service that refreshes tone, boosts shine, and blends grown-out color between full appointments. At Pursuit Salon a gloss is $85 on its own or $185 with a blowdry. It's a popular low-commitment option if your color looks dull but doesn't need re-lightening.

Pursuit's color team includes co-owners Rebecca (sun-kissed highlights, 20+ years as a Bay Area colorist and educator) and Whitney, plus specialists Stephanie, Cameron, Katie, Rocio, Neveah, and Ashley, who focuses on vivids, bleach-and-tones, and lived-in blondes. You can read every colorist's bio on the stylists page and request them when booking.

Yes. Ashley is Pursuit's vivids and color specialist, known for bleach-and-tones, fun colors, and big transformations. Vivid work usually starts with a consultation so she can assess your hair's condition and map out sessions, since dramatic changes often need lightening first. Book a color consultation online to get started.

Your colorist will recommend a routine at your appointment, and Pursuit carries professional lines including Oribe and Milbon in the salon. A gloss ($85+) between full color services keeps tone fresh, and deep-conditioning treatments like Milbon ($95+) help color-treated hair stay healthy and shiny.

Pursuit Salon has a re-do policy: if you're unsatisfied with your service, you can book a re-do with the same stylist or colorist within 14 days at no charge. Reach out to the salon at info@pursuitsalon.com or 650.948.4519 and they'll get you back in the chair.
