South of Fifth
Balayage & Highlights near South of Fifth
SoFi books color on a schedule rather than on a whim, and balayage is the one technique that survives a six-week rhythm without a hard regrowth line to chase. It is the reason so many standing appointments here are balayage rather than foils.
From $240 at 1301 Alton Rd. About a mile south of us — a short drive down Alton, or a genuinely walkable trip if the weather is behaving.
Free parking · Open 7 days · Free consultation
Getting here
Alton Road runs directly between us. From the SoFi towers it is a short drive north with free parking in our own lot at 1301 Alton, which matters more here than almost anywhere else on the island — street parking south of Fifth is its own sport, and nobody wants to feed a meter through a two-hour color service.
Who we see from South of Fifth
A lot of standing appointments. SoFi residents are locals rather than visitors, which means color maintenance on a schedule, gray coverage that has to be consistent every six weeks, and the same stylist every time. It is the neighborhood most likely to book the next appointment before leaving the chair.

Common Questions
- How far is McAllister Spa from South of Fifth?
- About a mile south of us — a short drive down Alton, or a genuinely walkable trip if the weather is behaving. Alton Road runs directly between us. From the SoFi towers it is a short drive north with free parking in our own lot at 1301 Alton, which matters more here than almost anywhere else on the island — street parking south of Fifth is its own sport, and nobody wants to feed a meter through a two-hour color service.
- What does balayage cost?
- It starts at $240, published on our menu rather than quoted over the phone, and where yours lands depends on your hair or your skin rather than on where you live — the price is the same whichever neighborhood you come from. Every appointment begins with a free consultation, and you hear the exact number before anything begins.
- Can I walk to McAllister Spa from South of Fifth?
- Plenty of people do. We are at 1301 Alton Road, roughly a mile north of the SoFi towers along Alton itself, so it is a straight and flat walk. If you would rather drive, parking is free in our lot — which is usually the deciding factor for a longer color or smoothing appointment.
- Do you take standing appointments for regular color?
- Yes, and we encourage it for anyone on a maintenance schedule. Booking your next visit before you leave is the only reliable way to keep the same stylist at the same time of week, particularly heading into Art Basel and the holidays when the calendar tightens.
