Brooklyn Design Bay
Brooklyn Design Bay is our Pretoria home for in-person blonde care reviews, small batch home care and advice on keeping fair hair soft and cool between lightening services.
What to expect from your Brooklyn care review
At Brooklyn Design Bay you get a focused, practical session with one of our team trained in care for lightened, highlighted or naturally fair hair. We start by listening: your hair goals, salon history, what is working for you and what is not. Then we look at your hair in daylight, check condition, and talk through how your wash, tone and protect routine works at home.
You can try our flagship Brighten Care Set, the Silk Repair Mask, and any of our leave-ins for texture or scent. If you want to test gloss timing, we can patch test the Cool Tone Gloss or Violet Soft Rinse and show you exactly how long to leave each product on. We talk you through mist habits, using oil drops on your ends, and bond care after lightening.
Your review ends with a simple care plan and recommendations for your routine, tailored for Pretoria’s water and sun. You leave with a short written note and can pick up products or book your next review. We do not do colour or bleaching here, our job is to help you keep your blonde feeling fresh between salon visits.
What to bring with you

- Notes on any issues with fading, dryness, breakage or scalp comfort
Blonde care for Pretoria’s water and weather
Pretoria sits on the Highveld where municipal water is moderately hard, which means it can leave mineral deposits on the hair. These minerals can make blonde hair feel rougher and can cause dullness if not rinsed well. We recommend washing with cooler water and using a gentle, low-suds shampoo like our Blonde Wash Soft.
Pretoria’s summers are sunny and the UV index is often extreme, so colour fades faster and hair can dry out between washes. Using Sun Shield Mist with UV filters helps keep your tone steady. Winters here are dry and static is common, so we often suggest silk pillowcases or wraps, especially for longer hair. Humidity is usually low, so frizz is not as big a problem as on the coast.
Who we see and how to book your care review
Our Brooklyn Mall bay is popular with all ages: from students and first-time blondes to working professionals and parents helping children care for their hair after highlights. Some are keeping a cool platinum, others are blending out old highlights. We also see those preparing for life events, or anyone with naturally fair hair wanting to keep it soft.
