What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a hand-painted technique which allows our skilled colourists to create the perfect look suited specifically to you. The highlights are applied where the sun would usually lighten your hair, which is what creates this natural sun-kissed appearance. Ask for some face-framing highlights to really accentuate the beach babe look!
It’s no surprise that balayage is the most popular hair colouring technique because it is different for each person, designed to flatter each individual through expertly placed highlights from our highly trained team!
How Long Will My Appointment Take?
The time it takes for your balayage appointment will vary depending on how many colours you want us to apply and how long your hair is. If you just want some face-framing highlights then this will take a shorter amount of time than if you want balayage applied all over or a balayage refresh.
Book in for a consultation before your balayage appointment so our experts can assess the condition of your hair. Damaged hair will take longer to colour than healthy hair, so this will need to be taken into account. At your consultation, if needed, our colour specialists can also discuss suitable hair treatments to get your locks looking healthy & shiny.
What's The Difference Between Balayage & Ombré?
Balayage is a bespoke hair colouring technique where the hair is usually lightened towards the ends in certain areas to achieve a natural look. Ombré hair colouring has two contrasting tones, with the darker colour at the roots gradually becoming lighter towards the ends of the hair in a gradient. Root stretching is another alternative which is where we stretch the colour from your roots, making it lighter towards the ends.
Do I Have To Have Blonde Balayage?
Balayage looks incredible on all hair colours from ravishing reds, to beautiful blondes and gorgeous brunettes, it even looks great on silvery grey hair too! For those of you that are daring and want to try something different, balayage can even be applied using fashion hair colours such gorgeous blues, pretty pastel tones and bright neon shades.
Ensuring your hairstyle looks its best is a case of using the right hair care and styling products to ensure it remains shiny and healthy, and also remembering to book in for a trim and reshape every 8 weeks. When it comes to hair colour, there are a number of tips to help you keep your colour vibrant for longer. Read how to keep your colour looking and feeling fab for longer!
Book Your Appointment
The great thing about balayage is that it is low maintenance! With balayage, we will keep the roots darker and blend lighter colour towards the ends. This means you will not need to come in for a root retouch as often. However, we recommend you come into our studio for a balayage refresh every 8-12 weeks where we may add a toner to keep the colour looking fresh and vibrant.
