At AltaRd Salon in Fairborn, blonde is what our color team does best. Owner Ashley Hamby built this salon around high-end color work, with blonding at the center.

Full Custom Highlights
Full custom highlights are for clients who want all-over brightness. Root to tip blonde, heavy foils, maximum impact. Your stylist hand-selects the placement of every foil based on how your hair falls naturally. We use professional Redken and Kerastase lighteners because they give us control over the lift.
Balayage and Specialty Blonding
Your stylist literally paints lightener onto your hair freehand, concentrating the brightness around your face and through the mid-lengths and ends. The roots stay slightly deeper. That gives you a sun-kissed look that fades out gradually instead of growing out with a hard line at the root.
Lived-in Color and Mini Custom Services
The goal is to create a blonde that looks expensive but grows out gracefully. Dimension is built into the color, so when your roots start showing, they blend rather than clash. Takes way less time and costs way less money. It’s the best-kept secret for blondes who want the look without the monthly price tag.
Common Questions
Can I go platinum in one visit?
Depends on your starting color and hair condition. Lighter natural hair in good condition can sometimes get there in a single long session. Dark hair or previously colored hair usually needs two to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
How much does blonde hair cost at AltaRd?
Mini custom starts at $90. Partial highlights start at $126. Full custom highlights start at $165. Balayage and specialty blonding start at $185. Your stylist gives you a personalized quote at your consultation based on your specific hair.
How do I keep my blonde from fading?
Purple shampoo at home once or twice a week. A treat and tone service every 8 to 10 weeks between full appointments. A shower filter to reduce mineral buildup from Ohio’s hard water. And sunscreen on your part line during summer.
Will bleach ruin my hair?
Not if it’s done correctly with the right products and the right timeline. We build bond repair into every blonding service, and we won’t push your hair past what it can handle in a single session. That’s the whole point of our approach.
