✨ Your Dream Blonde Starts Here: Custom Blonding in Grand Rapids, MI

Teasy Lights, Balayage, Babylights + Beyond at Chasing Vanity Salon

Here at Chasing Vanity Salon in Grand Rapids, blonding is more than just lightening your hair—it's about creating the look you've been dreaming of with techniques that are customized to you.

From teasy lights to balayage, foils, root stretching, and babylights, no two blonding services are ever exactly the same—and that’s on purpose.

🎯 We Don’t Guess—We Map.

Every blonding journey starts with a consultation where we map out your goals.

What’s your inspo photo?
How much brightness do you want?
How often do you want to maintain it?

These questions help us decide exactly which techniques will bring your look to life—while keeping your hair healthy and low-stress to maintain.

✨ Let’s Break Down the Blonding Techniques

🖌️ Teasy Lights
Our go-to for a natural, blended blonde. We lightly backcomb the hair before applying lightener in foils, giving you a soft grow-out and less maintenance. Perfect for a lived-in, beachy blonde.

🎨 Balayage
A hand-painted technique that creates soft, sun-kissed dimension. We love it for clients who want that effortless, just-got-back-from-vacation kind of glow.

📦 Foils
Traditional foils give maximum lift and precision. Great for higher contrast blondes, full transformations, or if you’re after a really bright blonde.

🌫️ Root Stretch / Shadow Root
This technique blends your natural color down into the blonde, softening the grow-out and giving your hair extra depth and richness. It’s also one of our best tricks for low-maintenance upkeep.

🌟 Babylights
Super-fine highlights that mimic natural hair lightening from the sun. These are perfect for soft brightness around the face or all-over glow without bold contrast.

💁‍♀️ What Makes Our Blonding Different?

We’re not just placing foils and sending you out the door. We’re thinking about:

• Face shape and skin tone

• Your maintenance goals

• Your current color, damage level, and hair texture

• Longevity and grow-out strategy

This is where our education and expertise come in. We know how to combine techniques to give you a blonde that looks effortless—but was created with intention.

You might come in thinking you need balayage, but after our consult, we might recommend a mix of teasy lights + root shadow + babylights to get you that soft, dimensional blend you actually want.

💛 Ready to Love Your Blonde?

Whether you’re going brighter, softer, cooler, or bolder—we’d love to map out your blonding journey with you.
