What is balayage?

The word balayage comes from the French, meaning “to sweep” and it involves colour being swept or hand painted through your hair to create a bespoke, natural look. This free-hand technique means colour can be applied exactly where you want it for a subtler effect than that achieved with traditional foil highlights. This technique is essentially highlights of lighter and darker shades that are swept freehand with a brush onto sections of the hair, to give that naturally sun-kissed effect. The light and dark shades create a lasting intensity that wows any way you style it.

A good balayage is all about placement and blending. Having contrast between the light and dark tones is what creates natural looking, lived-in dimension.

How do I maintain my balayage colour?

The good news is that balayage is a great low-maintenance hair colour as your root regrowth will be less noticeable than with traditional foils. You can expect to see your colourist around every 12-14 weeks to maintain your balayage highlights. We’d also recommend a 6-weekly colour glossing or toner touch-up to freshen up your hair between appointments.
