What’s balayage, anyway?
Let’s break it down—balayage (pronounced bah-lee-AH-ge) is French for “to sweep.” And that’s exactly what we do! Each section of your hair is hand-painted to create tonal differences to your natural colour, this can be done in or out of foil. Balayage has become a timeless classic, and it’s here to stay although the constant evolution of this technique and the placement of toning to create everything from dark moody root shadow, earthy terracotta caramels and clean creamy bright blondes is really exciting part.
Balayage vs. highlights: What’s the difference?
There are so many balayage techniques that have sprung from the original hand painting open air processing, but here’s the thing—balayage is more than just highlights. While highlights or foils are painted in uniform packets giving a uniform look, balayage is a freehand technique where our skilled colourists sweep colour onto your hair, mimicking how the sun naturally lightens it. The result? Soft, seamless, and effortlessly chic. The adaptability of this technique is its true gift, allowing colourist and client to conjure up a uniquely personalised outcome where depth, dimension and shade can be dialed up or down.
Who can rock balayage?
Spoiler alert: pretty much everyone can! Whether you have an edgy bob or long, luscious locks, balayage works on all hair types—dark, light, curly, or straight. It’s the perfect technique for adding natural-looking dimension, no matter your age, gender or hair texture. Balayage can brighten your face and bring a youthful glow to any style. It’s ageless, effortless, and endlessly flattering.
