Show an idea of the balayage before defining the path
“I would like more light” can mean very different things. An indicative preview helps to talk about the distribution of brightness, contrast, and the desired result, while the colorist verifies the base and feasibility of the balayage.
Simulations are included in every plan: 5 images a month on Free, 30 on Basic, 200 on Standard and 400 on Pro. Each generated view uses one image. Previews are indicative.
Transform an inspiration photo into a concrete request
Ask what the client really likes: the light near the face, the lighter ends, or the soft transition from the root. Separate the desired effect from the starting photo, which may have a base, texture, and light very different from those of the person in the salon.
Evaluate the path based on the real situation
Before proposing the image, consider the current color, previous lightening, and hair conditions. The balayage visible in the preview does not prove that a single session is enough. The professional decides whether to work in stages and what technical checks are necessary.
Use the preview to discuss contrast
The simulation can help make a direction visible: more natural or brighter, with a different contrast around the face. It is not a precise map of the sections to be treated and does not guarantee that every strand will turn out identical to the generation.
Explain maintenance and subsequent appointments
A useful proposal includes what happens after the day of the service. Talk about maintaining the reflection, home care, and check-ups you deem appropriate. Use the appointment calendar to organize the agreed-upon appointments, without turning the indications into promises of universal duration.
The colorist maintains the technical decision
The guided consultation, face and hair analysis, reports, matching and indicative AI previews are included in every plan; Free includes 10 consultations a month. Each generated view uses an image allowance. Products, formula, and placement of the lightening are assessments of the professional and cannot be deduced solely from the appearance of the simulation.
How to get started
- Collect the desire for light and the color history.
- Verify the base and hair conditions.
- Compare the preview with the technical possibilities.
- Agree on steps, maintenance, and appointments.

Frequently asked questions
Does the simulation indicate where to apply the bleach?
No. It does not replace a professional technical map or the assessment of the hair conditions.
Is a balayage seen in the image achieved in one session?
Not necessarily. The base and technical history may require a different path, evaluated by the colorist.
Can I show a proposal before choosing the service?
Yes, in the consultation path with a plan that includes simulations, always clarifying that it is an indicative preview.
Is the cost of the service decided by the image?
No. The salon defines the service and the quote based on the actual work required.
