Hair Colour & Treatment
Cool ash, warm champagne, hand-painted balayage. Root melts, bond-builders worked into the lift, toning that lasts. Plus the keratin and Japanese repair treatments that keep colour wearing well in the tropics.
Our signature creative blond, built as a multi-process result. Bond-builders mixed into the lift, then toning to define the final cool ash, silver, champagne or icy platinum, and a root melt to soften the new growth line. Designed so it's wearable as it grows out, not just on the day.
Hand-painted highlights — from the French balayer, "to sweep." Worked freehand, no foils, no caps, no neat rows. The blend between natural root and lightened lengths should be imperceptible: smooth gradation is not a feature of balayage, it is the entire point. Toner finish, deep conditioning, blow-dry.
Selected strands lightened in foil, the foil reflecting heat back into the strand for cleaner lift. Babylight-style fine sectioning when the brief is soft, diffuse brightness rather than distinct streaks — colour that reads as genuinely natural up close. Toned to shift the lifted yellow-orange into cool ash or warm champagne.
A standalone tonal refresh. Shifts lifted hair from yellow-orange toward cool ash, warm honey or soft caramel — and corrects brassiness on existing colour. Semi-permanent chemistry coats the cuticle rather than penetrating the cortex, so it fades gradually. Booked proactively in Bali, where UV and salt accelerate brassy shifts. Recommended every 4–6 weeks alongside lighter services.
One uniform colour, root to tip, in a single oxidative application — developer opens the cuticle, pigment enters the cortex, larger molecules form and lock inside the shaft. Best for grey coverage, for shifting overall tone, or for refreshing faded colour. Custom-mixed to your shade. Pricing varies by length and density — confirmed at consult.
Targeted re-application to the new growth zone, before a visible line of demarcation forms between regrowth and existing colour. Refresh windows in Bali shorten because UV pushes any tonal shift faster — book between full colour services to keep the result clean.
Full lightening to your target shade — soft sunkissed, cool ash, or icy blonde. Hair is taken to level 9 or 10, the only base that holds silver, ash or pastel tones. Bond-builders are added to the bleach mix; this is not optional. Dark bases are lifted across multiple sessions with rest periods rather than forced in one pass — the alternative is hair that breaks mid-shaft.
Colour work beyond standard balayage or highlights — money piece, face frame, dimensional brunette, vivids, foilyage. Multiple processes run simultaneously, each with different formulations, timings and physical applications managed in parallel. Bring a reference image or mood; pricing tiers by complexity (creative, hard, extra hard) and hair length.
A reset for the scalp and lengths. Low-pH, deposit-only chemistry that strips product residue, mineral deposits and chlorine — without further lifting and without stripping colour. Extends the life of a colour result without adding chemical stress to the hair. Recommended monthly, or after a long beach stretch.
A sealing treatment, not a straightening treatment — the distinction matters. A keratin–amino acid complex is applied section by section to clarified hair, dwelled, blow-dried, then heat-activated with a flat iron at around 230°C. Bonds to the cuticle and resists atmospheric moisture uptake — built for the Bukit's wet-season humidity. Lasts 3–5 months. The 72-hour rule applies after: no water, no clips, no ties — we'll explain at booking.
Milbon's in-salon protein and bond intervention. Works at a different level of the hair structure than retail products, restoring tensile strength and resetting the protein/moisture balance after multiple chemical steps, beach exposure, or heavy heat work. Visible difference after one session; best results across 3–4 over a month.
Milbon clarifying scalp protocol — removes product residue, mineral deposits from salt or hard water, and silicone buildup. The layer that otherwise blocks bonding for keratin and treatment work. Particularly relevant for Uluwatu's regular ocean swimmers. Sets a clean foundation: keratin applied over buildup bonds to the buildup, not the hair.
Milbon's keratin-infused deep conditioning protocol. Applied with gentle heat — a warm towel wrapped around the hair accelerates penetration. Restores moisture stripped by humidity-driven cuticle swelling, UV, and salt's effect on the lipid layer that coats healthy hair. Recommended every 4–6 weeks for full-time Bali residents.
Milbon Smartbond-based smoothing for unruly or humidity-prone hair. Targets the disulphide bonds disrupted by oxidative processing and UV, while sealing the cuticle against moisture uptake. Especially indicated 2–4 weeks after a full bleach, where it complements a keratin treatment by reinforcing the protein structure underneath the cuticle seal.
Express conditioning treatment combined with a scalp massage — wash, mask, scalp work, blow-out. A reset between full colour or treatment appointments, for clients who only need to refresh moisture and scalp condition rather than rebuild structure.
In-salon gloss treatment. Deposits colour molecules onto the lightened shaft to refine the final shade and add reflective finish, without the lifting stress of a full re-colour. Our preferred move at the 6–8 week mark in Bali, when toner can fade significantly on clients who swim, surf and spend time outdoors regularly.
