What is Balayage?
“Balayage” is the French word meaning to “sweep” or to “paint”. Balayage is a free-hand technique of colouring, which is very natural looking. A Balayage gives you a gentle flow of colour with a natural regrowth. This helps for an easy follow up and touch up!
Balayage creates a beautiful graduated natural-looking effect. It is great for clients who want a natural look with some contrast in the hair.
Balayage is on every fashion runway and red carpet event. Many celebrities rock this look including Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel.
How Is Balayage Done?
During your consultation, your features,face shape and colourings will be considered along with which Balayage technique to use to achieve your desired Balayage look.
Once your stylist has chosen the Balayage technique they then add the personalisation eg, foils, Root stretch, Dimensional colour, Global colour, Blonde Polish or Gloss.
The colour is applied to sections of your hair, much further away from your roots than a traditional colour treatment. The colour is applied without saturating through, to create that soft, natural, sun kissed look.
