What is balayage hair colour?
Balayage takes its name from the French word meaning “to sweep”. Colour is hand-painted onto selected sections of hair to create soft blends, brightness and dimension. The placement is tailored to you, whether you prefer a subtle, sun-kissed finish or a brighter look.
Please note: All clients must have a skin test at least 48 hours before their first colour appointment with us. Please contact reception to arrange yours.
What is the difference between balayage and ombré?
Balayage is a highlighting technique that creates softly blended colour and dimension. Ombré describes a look that transitions from darker roots to lighter ends, with a more noticeable contrast. Both can be tailored for a subtle or bolder finish.
How is balayage applied?
Colour is painted onto selected sections of hair to create lightness where it will best complement your cut and features. Your colourist may combine techniques to achieve your chosen look, with a toner used where needed to refine the shade.
Is balayage suitable for my hair colour?
Balayage can work beautifully on blonde, brunette, red and grey hair. The tones and level of lightness achievable will depend on your starting colour, previous colour treatments and hair condition. We’ll discuss these during your consultation.
How do I maintain my balayage?
Blended roots can make regrowth less noticeable, allowing longer between lightening appointments. Your maintenance schedule will depend on your colour and preferred finish, with toner or gloss appointments helping to refresh the tone between visits.
At home, use colour-friendly shampoo and conditioner, heat protection and any treatments recommended by your stylist.
Will balayage damage my hair?
Lightening can cause dryness and damage, so your hair’s condition is an important part of planning your colour. We’ll assess your hair, discuss what is achievable and recommend suitable treatments and homecare to support its condition.
