All About Balayage
Thinking of having balayage, or wondering what it actually is???
The balayage trend doesn't seem to going anywhere soon, and as we move into the warmer months we've seen a huge increase in clients wanting balayage. So what is it exactly???
Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique which gives you a beautiful sun-kissed look as seen in the pics above. The balayage pieces should be painted & blended very finely towards the root while getting thicker & more saturated towards the end of the hair. This skilled technique will give you a low maintenance look which is darker at the roots and lighter at the ends, giving you the ultimate sun-kissed glow.
The balayage pieces can be subtle or more intense, and the technique isn't just for blondes — it can also be applied to brunette and red hair & can work on shorter bob styles too! You can even add a darker root blend for grey coverage or to add further contrast & dimension to the lighter balayage pieces.
Toners are also a great way to play around with the colour of your balayage pieces. As toners are temporary and will fade with each wash, we do recommend that you visit the salon every 4-6 weeks for a toner service to keep your balayage looking fresh and free from unwanted orange/yellow tones. The sun is also becoming stronger and will affect the colour of you hair much faster, so regular toners will keep your balayage looking like new!
As always, we'll recommend to use the correct homecare products to keep your hair in it's best condition. Our COLORING.ANGELS are the perfect choice to prolong the longevity of your balayge.
Think of our COLOURING.ANGELS like lip gloss for your hair. Our four conditioning colour glosses come in AUTUMN, SUGARED, CRYSTAL and COOL to impart a kiss of colour and a dose of shine, and have been created as the perfect treatment between colour services for colour longevity, brightness and balance.
