Golden Hour Salon

The salon is at 509 N Winnetka Ave in Winnetka Heights, across from the Kessler Theater and a few streets from Bishop Arts. It was established in 2015, and the salon describes its space as modern, welcoming and creative.

Services are by appointment only. Haircuts are done with scissors or a razor and include a consultation, wash and blow-dry. A first visit with a new client is listed at $125 for 120 minutes, and a return haircut at $105 for 90 minutes. Short OG haircuts are listed at $55, and bangs trims at $35 for returning clients only. Color prices include the highlight or color, a gloss, a treatment and a blow-dry. Full balayage typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours and partial balayage 2 to 2.5 hours.

The color menu includes open-air balayage painted without foils, foiled dimensional color, color melts that blend tone and add shine to earlier highlights, and all-over single-shade color for grey coverage or for clients keeping up their color. The signature Lived In Blonde full-head highlight is listed at $300 and recommended for new clients, while the Lived In Brunette full-head dimensional highlight is listed at $300 and up for first-time brunettes. Corrective color for major shifts, such as light to dark or removing permanent color, starts with a complimentary 30-minute consult. Vivid color is booked after a free vivid consult, and vivid color services start at $500 with a $250 deposit for new clients.

The salon asks that clients come alone, without children, friends or partners, because space is limited, and it does not take new clients under 15. Phone calls are not taken, so inquiries go by text or email, and responses may take 24 to 48 hours. Cancelling or rebooking needs at least 24 hours' notice to avoid a fee, and a no-call, no-show means the client cannot rebook. The salon describes itself as a go-to Dallas balayage salon, and the site notes a 2022 nomination as Best Salon in Lakewood, Dallas.

Focuses on low-maintenance color and cuts that suit each client's natural texture, with product ingredients chosen for being clean and effective.
