What is Balayage?

Balayage gets thrown around a lot as a term synonymous with highlights.

This is not the case. What we mean by the term “balayage” is a highlighting method, but it does not involve the use of foils and creates a more cohesive and natural look for your hair. To get a more subtle, sun-kissed, or vibrant hue, we paint color onto your hair strand by strand.

With a variety of styles, balayage offers a customizable, detailed solution to your hairstyling needs.

Generally speaking, these sessions take around four hours to complete but will depend on your needs and the details you’re looking for.

Benefits of Balayage
Compared to highlights, there is no need to use foil when doing a balayage, since it’s a freehand method. With our balayage techniques, a gradual lightening or darkening of the hair takes place down the length of the strand, typically starting closer to the scalp and progressing to the ends. In most cases, balayage is performed by first avoiding the roots and then concentrating on the hair’s midshaft and ends. Both are beneficial to the hair, but balayage is far more detailed and can provide long-lasting, natural-looking solutions.

Natural Looking Hair

While the coloring pops and makes your hair look much more unique, it doesn’t stray from that natural look. You’ll still have the natural appearance of your hair with the added enhancement of more detailed features and healthy strands.

Several Months With Your New Style

With a one or two-session process lasting a few hours each, the results are outstanding. Our balayage treatments last several months, with little evidence of fading or any loss of vibrance. Even two months in, your beautiful new hairstyle will look the exact same way it did when you left the salon with us.

Never a Simple Color

Balayage doesn’t need to just be an “all-over” color. As a technique, we usually combine two or even three colors to make one unified, stunning look. For example, if your root hair color is blonde, you can add subtleties of rosewood or charcoal to get a darker style to your hair. With highlights, it’d be easy for your hair to look unnatural with these colors. However, balayage perfectly combines them and presents them with uniform elegance.

Highlights Vs Balayage

“Highlights” is commonly used to refer to hair that has been dyed a shade or two lighter than the base color. Lightening individual strands of hair of any color is also considered a highlight, not just blonde hair. Traditional highlights are performed using a technique called “foiling,” which involves utilizing sheets of foil to separate strands of hair that have been treated with color or lightener and then wrapping those strands in the foil for processing.
