Balay+Bar

Hello loves!! I know I’m not always as active on FB and if your on instagram make sure to find me there as you’ll be able to get a hold of me easier. I will do my best to be better with this platform! - thankfully post auto post here from IG.

IG handles are : @ Balaybar.hair and @ Just.jadelauren

Lived-in.
Effortless.
Naturally enhanced.

That’s my favorite kind of hair ✨

Hand-painted only.
No foils.
No root smudges.

Just a classic balayage blend that gives effortless dimension and still feels like you.

Do I ever get sick of painting hair all day instead of using other techniques?

Never.

I order the same foods at the same places — I’m consistent, you could say.
I like what I like.
And it brings me joy.

That’s why I chose a niche.
Hand-painted balayage only.

That’s why BALAY+BAR exists —
dimensional hair, served the balayage way ✨ ⚡️

Treat yourself this Spring for a custom balayage blend- link in bio

Three weeks ago I didn’t know I’d be changing my entire website + booking system.
Today… it’s live. ✨

This was a fast pivot.
A gut decision.
A quiet leap of faith after 6 years on the same system.

I’m sharing this moment because I’m learning how to pause before jumping to the next thing.
To celebrate the small wins and the big ones.
To honor growth instead of immediately critiquing it.

This realignment is about support — for my mind, body, and spirit — and this new site is one step toward that.
It wasn’t on the plan… but it was absolutely the right move.

You can now explore memberships, hair + energy work, education for stylists, and connect with me all in one place.
I poured a lot of intention into this, and I’d love for you to take a look 🤍

Here’s me celebrating instead of rushing ahead.
More of that this year.

When you know, you know.

Clients ask me all the time:
“Is it time for bangs?”
“Should I do the big chop?”

And my answer is always the same.

You’ll know.

It won’t feel like a question anymore.
It becomes a statement.

You’ll see it everywhere.
You’ll want to grab the shears yourself.
Your hair will start whispering (or yelling) for change.

✨ It’s time for the bangs.
✨ It’s time for the chop.

So if you’re still questioning it…
it’s probably not time yet.

For this B+B mane — it was absolutely time.
Her fringe was practically begging to become a bang ⚡️
And creating this shape was pure magic.

Back to her brunette roots 🤎✨

New client came in after receiving unwanted highlights when she was originally looking for a soft, sun-kissed look. Thankfully, a client referral brought her into my chair just in time before heading back to school after winter break — and we got this back on track 🥂

The plan:
We clarified + prepped the hair, then on damp hair I applied a root melt to soften foil lines and restore her natural brunette base. After a wash + blow-dry, I went back in with balayaged lowlights matched to her natural tone to break up the ends. Any remaining lightness was then glossed at the bowl to tone things down, warm everything up, and bring harmony back to her skin tone.

4–5 hours later… a brand new look ✨

I know seeing the before can feel overwhelming, but sometimes the solution is simpler than we think. That’s always my motto — keep it simple, focus on 1–2 clear goals, and take things in sessions when needed 🤍

Hair that feels like you again.
