Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Balayage & Highlights: Answering the Top Hair Coloring Queries
What is balayage?
Balayage (taken from the French word for ‘sweeping’) is a subtle freehand colouring technique. Colour is painted directly onto designated sections of the hair without using foil. The result is a more natural, sun-kissed hue, without any harsh contrast between colours.
Your balayage colour can be made bespoke for you, and it’s a great way to overhaul your look without making too many bold changes.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Balayage is a softer, more natural looking result than traditional foil highlights. Regrowth lines are less noticeable, and the lines are more delicate, creating a golden, sun-kissed look that recreates a few weeks spent somewhere warm.
