What is Balayage?

BALAYAGE, BABYLIGHTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OH MY! HOW DO I KNOW WHAT BLONDING SERVICES I NEED?

On the journey to achieving your perfect blonde, it can be easy to get confused between all of the different techniques and jargon out there.

When choosing the right method for you, keep the following in mind: classic foiled highlights are great for achieving a more uniform blonde look, and also allow the hair to be lifted higher for a lighter, brighter look.

Balayage, on the other hand, is a hand-painting lightening technique that allows for a more subtle, sun-kissed look that can require less upkeep than other lightening techniques.

Of course, I am happy to discuss your options with you to help you decide what method fits your hair and desired maintenance level.

Balayage is a lightening technique that involves hand painting with a brush and giving you a more natural, sun-kissed hair color. The natural looking placement of the color allows for softer regrowth lines so you don’t have to rush back to the salon to get your hair redone. Balayage is a great option for anyone looking for a multi-tonal and multi-dimensional look.

There are nuances when it comes to application techniques that produce slightly different results. But the main reason balayage is such a popular option is that stylists can hand select pieces of hair they want to highlight to personalize the look.

What is the difference between Balayage and traditional highlights?

The main difference is that balayage is done freehand and highlights use foils. Balayage can give a more subtle and natural end result than traditional highlights.
