About

Rainbow Balayage is a hair business on South Boulevard in Charlotte. Services are grouped into braids, color, haircuts and styling. The salon says it wants clients to leave feeling seen, celebrated and like themselves, not only pleased with their hair.

Color is a large part of the menu. Balayage and foil work come in mini, partial and full options, and vivid or transformational color is booked by appointment length, from two hours up to six. A $10, 15-minute color consultation lets clients bring inspiration photos, and the menu also includes single process color, gloss and toner, and root retouches.

Braids range from a single dragon braid or two Dutch braids up to complex festival braiding and styles that combine buns, pigtails or half-up looks. Face framing braids are offered as an add-on; the braid-only version is suited to sensitive scalps and very fine hair, while the scalp version is not recommended for those.

Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, with Sunday and Monday closed. Cancellations and rescheduling need 24 hours' notice Tuesday through Friday and 48 hours on Saturdays. Late cancellations are charged half the booked service, no-call no-show appointments are charged in full, a second reschedule carries a $50 fee, and arriving more than 15 minutes late may shorten the service.

The salon aims to offer more than good hair, with the goal of clients feeling seen, celebrated and themselves.

The salon describes its space as warm and inclusive.
