Balayage FAQs

A balayage (pronounced ‘bah-lee-ahge’) is a French word, meaning to ‘sweep.’ It’s a free-hand highlighting technique which involves painting the hair with ribbons of colour, for a blended and sun-kissed finish. A balayage is the perfect choice if you’d like a subtly lighter and brighter look.

A balayage is completely customisable, and as the colour doesn’t start at the roots, you can create a low-maintenance style; perfect if you’d like a sun-kissed look. Full-head highlights, however, start directly at the roots to create a lighter effect throughout the hair.

The word ‘ombré’ means ‘shade’ in French and involves applying one (usually darker) colour from your roots to mid-lengths, and another, lighter colour from your mid-lengths to ends. A balayage starts off softer, near to the roots and gets stronger through the lengths and ends.

On average between two-to-four months.

Once your shade starts to fade, a toner can be applied to help bring back the vibrant colour to your locks. Book in with your stylist to refresh your tresses and we’ll apply a toner to bring back vibrance.
