Hair colour, highlights and balayage in Peshawar
Colour is the service most often bought on a photograph and delivered on someone else’s hair. What you get depends on what your hair started as, and this page is honest about that before you book.
What hair colour is
Your starting colour decides your ending colour
Dark hair that has never been coloured does not become ash blonde in one appointment, and anyone who says it will is planning to leave your hair orange and call it a stage. Lifting dark hair takes multiple sessions with recovery between them. Balayage and ombre work with that reality instead of fighting it, which is a large part of why they suit hair here so well.
Balayage, ombre and highlights are not the same thing
Highlights are painted in sections through the head and give an even lift. Balayage is hand painted freehand so the grow out is soft and you can go three or four months between appointments. Ombre is a deliberate gradient, dark at the root into light at the ends. All three are priced the same here, by length, because the work involved is comparable.
Warmth is the local problem, and toning is the answer
Dark hair carries a lot of underlying warmth, so lifting it exposes orange and gold. That is chemistry, not a mistake. Toning and glossing neutralise it, and they wash out over six to eight weeks, which is why they are a separate line on the price list rather than a one time fix. Purple shampoo at home holds it between visits.
Why it matters
Colour is the single most common thing people come in to have fixed. Box dye that went green, a bleach that stopped at orange, highlights that grew out into a hard line four weeks later. Almost all of it comes from starting without an honest conversation about what dark hair can do in one appointment. That conversation is free here and it happens before anything is mixed.

How long hair colour actually lasts
Nobody in this market publishes this, and it is the question everybody has before they book. Here it is, drawn to a timeline scaled to this service.
How hair colour runs, step by step
Strand and skin test
A patch test forty eight hours before the first colour, every time. This is not optional.
Consultation
What your hair is now, what it can reach this appointment, and what will take a second one.
Colour
Two to five hours depending on length and technique.
Tone and finish
Toning to kill the warmth, then a wash and blow dry. Home care advice before you leave.
Your starting colour decides your ending colour. Everything else is a promise.
Base colour, one tone dye
Long hair is quoted as a range because past the waist the product and chair time genuinely vary.

What you are actually paying for
For females only
The Makeup Studio is for women only. Men are welcome on the aesthetic clinic side, for clinical treatments.
Prices published, by length and by level
Every service on this site carries its price. Length based services show every length. Nothing changes at the counter because you asked for the good stylist.
Tools sterilised, disposables single use
Metal implements are sterilised between clients. Files, buffers and anything that cannot be sterilised is used once and thrown away.
A doctor at the same address
The aesthetic clinic side is run by Dr. Warda Nasir Mohib, aesthetic physician, MBBS, MCPS Dermatology, D-Derm Ireland, MSPH, DFM, PMDC 757205-03-M. When a Makeup Studio service is the wrong answer for what you actually have, we can say so and point you to the clinic side.
Hair colour questions we are asked
Base colour is PKR 6,000 at shoulder length, up to 12,000 to 15,000 for long hair. Highlights and balayage run 10,000 at shoulder to 16,000 to 21,000 long.
From dark hair, almost never safely. It takes multiple sessions with recovery between them. Anyone promising it in one appointment is planning to over process your hair.
Four to five weeks for most people, which is why a roots touch up is priced separately at 3,000 rather than a full colour every time.
Dark hair holds warm pigment underneath. Lifting it exposes that warmth. Toning neutralises it and washes out over six to eight weeks, so it is maintenance rather than a fault.
Yes, forty eight hours before the first colour service, every time, without exception. Colour allergy is rare and serious.
