Balayage, foils, lived-in color and precision cutting by Mya Binder — appointment-only inside South Main District Salon on South Main.

Why this chair
Blonde is the hardest thing to do well and the easiest thing to do badly. Four things keep it from going wrong here.
Balayage, foils, color correction and toning are what Mya does all day, every day. Specialists make fewer compromises — and blonde is the service where compromises show.
Every service — cut, color, balayage, treatments — is billed at the same hourly rate. The menu lists the hours each one normally takes, so you can do the math before you walk in. No tiers, no upcharges, no vague "we'll see how it goes."
If your hair cannot safely get where you want in one sitting, you'll be told that on day one and given a plan across two or three visits instead of a compromised result and fried ends.
Hand-painted placement and a smudged root mean your blonde still looks intentional at week ten — not like a line you have to hide.
The menu
Everything is billed at $70 an hour — the same rate whether it's a haircut or a five-hour blonding session. The hours below are what each service normally takes. Full menu on the services page.
Hand-painted, freehand lightening from front to back for a sun-grown blonde that melts out of your natural root. The most natural-looking way to go bright, and the kindest on your grow-out.
Hand-painted brightness through the face-frame, part and crown — everything the camera sees. A smart first step if you're testing the blonde waters.
Foil work through the entire head for maximum lift, brightness and even coverage. The service to book when you want an unmistakable blonde.
The finishing move. A custom-mixed toner kills brass, cools or warms your blonde, and puts a glass-like shine on top. Great as a standalone between color appointments.
Consultation, shampoo and scalp massage, a precision cut built around your texture and how you actually wear your hair, then a full style so you leave finished.
A smoothing therapy that cuts frizz, shortens your styling time and keeps humidity from undoing your morning. Results build over several months of wear.

Meet your stylist
Mya has spent her career chasing one thing: blonde that still looks good three months later. Balayage, foils, color correction, toning and glossing make up most of her week — the rest is precision cutting, blowouts and keratin smoothing therapy.
Her chair sits inside South Main District Salon on South Main in Fort Worth's Near Southside: appointment-only, one guest at a time, no rushing you out for the next head.

Everything is billed by the hour at $70 per hour — the same rate for a haircut, a color or a full day of blonding. Each service on the menu lists the hours it normally takes, so a 5-hour full balayage is $350 and a 1-hour haircut is $70. You are quoted the hours at consultation, and you only ever pay for the chair time your hair actually needs.
A full balayage is normally 5 hours, so $350. A full highlight runs about 4 hours ($280) and partial services about 2.5 hours ($175). A toner or gloss on its own is one hour, $70. Long or dense hair and corrective work take more hours, which is why every new blonding guest gets a consultation and an hour estimate before any color is mixed.
Most balayage and highlight services are between 2.5 and 5 hours, and that time is exactly what you are paying for. Big transformations — going from box-dyed dark to bright blonde, for example — are usually split across two or three sessions so your hair stays healthy, with the hours quoted for each one up front.

For blonding and color correction, yes. It is a short, free conversation — in person or by text with photos — where Mya looks at your history, your hair's condition and your inspiration pictures, then tells you how many hours it will take. Hours times $70 is your price, so there is never a surprise at the chair.
No. There is no gratuity line and no tip screen — the price you are quoted is the whole price. If you want to say thank you, a referral or a review is worth far more.
Professional lightener with bond-building additives on every lightening service, and take-home recommendations chosen for your specific hair rather than whatever is on the shelf — chosen to protect the color you just paid for.
Hair Vibez by Mya is by appointment so every guest gets undivided time. Booking online is fastest, but a text to (817) 798-1037 often finds a last-minute opening.
