Kayla Tarantino: Balayage Artist & Color Specialist

Kayla specializes in lived-in balayage, bronde, dimensional blondes, and brunettes that grow out beautifully, the kind of natural, low-maintenance color that doesn’t demand constant upkeep. Her signature style blends hand-painted balayage with foils placed only where they’re needed, striking the right balance of brightness and depth. The result is soft, dimensional color that flatters your features and stays gorgeous for months. Many of her clients only need a few visits a year, and still hear compliments long after their appointment.

Kayla has traveled across the country for advanced color education, and she brings that training into every appointment. She is trained in the West Coast Signature Balayage Method, our proprietary hybrid of freehand painting and precision foil work. She’s especially known for gray transformations, many guests come to her specifically to grow their gray out, and she builds a plan that makes the whole process look intentional the entire way there, not just at the finish. Whether it is balayage, bronde, gray coverage, or color correction, Kayla approaches it with the same commitment to personalized results and healthy hair.

What to Expect

Every color and every cut starts the same way: we listen first. With Kayla, that means a real conversation about your hair history, your lifestyle, and what you actually want, before anything else happens. From there, she builds a plan around your hair, not just how it looks the day you walk out. That groundwork is what makes every visit after the first one quicker and easier, so keeping up your balayage or gray coverage never turns into a chore.
