Balayage “Be brutally honest pls 😭”

Our take

Hey, fabulous friends! So, I’m in a bit of a hair dilemma. I recently splurged on a balayage, aiming for that soft chocolate/mocha brown vibe, but now I’m facing a bit of a color crisis. In certain lights, my hair looks warm and orangey, which has me second-guessing my stylist's choices. I’m seeking brutally honest opinions on whether this balayage suits my skin tone or if it’s too brassy. Should I consider a toner, or will it fade gracefully?

Paid a lot for balayage—does this look too warm/light for my skin tone? Need honest advice”bb

I got balayage done recently (, which is expensive for me).

I specifically asked for a soft chocolate/mocha brown, low contrast, natural look. I also told my stylist I didn’t want anything too light or golden.

He said bleach wasn’t needed, but I insisted on minimal bleach so the color would show.

Now my hair looks like this in different lighting (attached pics). In some lighting it looks okay, but in others it looks too warm/orangey and slightly too light for my skin tone.

My concerns:

- Does this look too brassy/warm?

- Does it suit my skin tone or wash me out?

- Is this normal balayage or was toning not done properly?

- Should I get a toner to make it more chocolate/neutral brown?

- Will it fade into something worse or just stay like this?

I want honest opinions before I go back to the salon. I don’t want to make it too dark either and lose the balayage effect.

Thanks!
