Gold & Ash Salon

Gold & Ash Salon sits at 120 West Northwest Highway in Palatine. The salon describes its services as luxury salon services and offers hair extensions, cut and color, balayage and keratin treatments. The home page also lists all-over color, a conditioning treatment, foilayage, haircut and style, and highlights.

The color menu is organized around where a guest is in their color journey. Retouches are priced by timing: a root touch-up for grey coverage or base bump runs about 1.5 to 2 hours including blow dry, and a face-framing touch-up with toning gloss is meant for guests who had a full balayage first. Partial balayage maintenance suits guests returning at three to four months, while a fuller balayage or foilayage retouch is for guests returning at five to six months. First-time guests can choose a traditional highlight service, or a custom balayage or foilayage placement if they have no current balayage. Brunette-to-blonde transformations include a K18 bonding treatment. Prices for the custom and blonding services may vary depending on the product needed.
