Serious about color? So are we. Join our team.
Custom Hair Color
Whether you're maintaining your signature blonde, exploring something brighter, or adding depth with highlights and lowlights, we tailor every detail to you. At Colour Me Beautiful, custom color starts with the condition of your hair, because healthy hair holds color better, shines brighter, and lasts longer.
We take into account your hair texture, skin tone, and lifestyle to create a look that feels effortless and grows out gracefully. From soft, sun-kissed brightness to full blonding transformations, we specialize in wearable, dimensional color that looks like you, not just the latest trend.
Our most-requested color services include:
- Balayage and lived-in highlights for soft, natural dimension
- Full and partial foil highlights for precision lightening
- Root melts and shadow roots for a seamless, blended finish
- Dimensional blonding and ongoing blonde maintenance
- Glosses and toners to enhance shine and neutralize brassiness
Your Guide to Professional Hair Color Services
Hair color isn’t one-size-fits-all—and salon terminology can be confusing. Our Hair Color Guide explains the most common hair color services, including balayage, highlights, blonding, root melts, and glosses, so you can confidently choose the service that fits your goals and maintenance preferences.
This resource is especially helpful if you’re new to professional hair color or want a better understanding of how different techniques create soft, blended, low-maintenance results.
Understanding the process makes it easier love your color and maintain it between appointments.

Balayage & Highlighting Specialists
Balayage and highlighting are at the heart of what we do. Our stylists focus on soft, blended placement that enhances your natural hair color and grows out seamlessly over time. Whether you prefer subtle brightness or more dimensional contrast, we customize each highlight pattern to your hair texture, density, and lifestyle.
This service is ideal if you want a natural, sun-kissed look without harsh lines or frequent touch-ups.
Blonde Hair, Done Right
Blonding is more than just lightening hair, it’s about tone, balance, and dimensions. We specialize in modern blonding techniques that deliver brightness while maintaining softness and shine. From lived-in blondes to brighter, more refined results, our approach is always tailored and intentional.
Our blonding services are designed for clients who want beautiful blonde hair without sacrificing condition or manageability.


Haircuts
Precision haircuts designed to support your color and your lifestyle. From soft layers and bobs to curl-friendly shaping, our stylists create cuts that grow out beautifully and style easily at home.

Perms & Texture Services
Modern perms are all about movement and texture—not stiff curls. We offer contemporary perm services designed to add body, shape, or wave while keeping hair soft and wearable.

Milbon Hair Treatments
Healthy hair is the foundation of great color. Milbon treatments restore moisture, strength, and shine from the inside out, helping your hair look better, feel smoother, and hold color longer.
Real Results. Real Reviews.
Our clients choose Colour Me Beautiful for gorgeous color, skilled technique, and results that hold up between appointments. From balayage and highlights to blonding maintenance, we’re proud of the trust our guests place in us, and their reviews reflect that experience. Many of our new clients find us through word of mouth and online reviews and stay with us for years.

Every time I leave the salon I feel so happy. Kristen is amazing. The Best!

Loved it! Left feeling beautiful!

I am so pleased to have found this wonderful salon! Yesterday was my first cut there, after 20 years of history with my longtime stylist, who has recently moved out of Albuquerque. Maria did a beautiful job cutting and styling my hair! I highly recommend this salon!
Finally! I was able to get balayage that looks incredible - never going to anyone else ever again. I thought I was a lost cause and my hair just wouldn’t take to blonde because it’s too dark. Not the case just needed a new hairstylist- I HIGHLY recommend Kristin.
I've been seeing Kristin for a couple of years now. Every time I leave with exactly what I was looking for, even when I switch something up. My baby-lights look beautiful, natural and I get lots of compliments on my hair. When I had to cancel an appointment last minute she fit me in 4 days later. So...mehow she did my touch-up in half the time of my last salon, while keeping the service spectacular! read more
Kristin is the absolute best and I am SO blessed to have found her! I can’t stop admiring myself in the mirror after my appointments with her. She’s affordable, uses quality products, and nails my hair color every time. Plus, she’s fun to talk to.

I’ve gone to three stylists who colored my hair and every time I had patches of yellow or orange. Finally! I was able to get balayage that looks incredible - never going to anyone else ever again.

Maria always does such a great job with my hair. I have super fine blonde hair and the highlights she gives me always look so natural and grow out flawlessly. She listens to what I want and is able to provide it perfectly every time. I will never go anywhere else!

Have had the worst luck finding a hair salon until now. This is the place to go if you need a high level color specialist and a great cut.

Thank you so much for trusting us! We really appreciate the great review.
LOVE how my hair turned out! Deborah did a great job with my super-specific requests on the perm & cut, and we had fun chatting the whole time she was working on my hair. I'll definitely be going back again!

Thank you Cynthia for the awesome review! We appreciate you.
the new client deal didn't work when I click send on their website. the place and services is ok.
I was desperate for help transitioning to grey. I literally contacted almost every salon in Albuquerque. I told them I had seen what Jack Martin is doing in California for women trying to transition, and they said no one in town could do that here. They were wrong! Kristin did it (you can see the tr...ansformation she did on me in her website). She is so diligent and took her time to do the research. I highly recommend her if you are facing the dilemma of trying to transition from coloring your hair to letting your gorgeous silver locks shine! read more
First time there today. Loved Kirsten!!! Clean, organized and professional! Love my hair!!! Thank you!!!!
In for a color today with Maria. What a great experience! Will definately be back.
Absolutely Love Kristen! I searched for years for a stylist that knew how to highlight dark hair without it looking dry and brassy. That is exactly what I found at Colour me beautiful! I am so grateful not only that I found the perfect stylist, but also a great friend. I get complimented on my hair...often and I’m quick to tell them my hairstylist is the best! read more
