Balayage, derived from the French word meaning “to sweep,” involves hand-painting colour onto specific sections of hair to mimic the sun’s natural lightening effect. This technique allows for precise placement of colour, resulting in a harmonious blend with darker roots and lighter ends. The outcome is a radiant, sun-kissed finish that enhances your hair’s natural beauty.

There are now multiple different looks we can achieve using the colouring technique so it's difficult to sum up 'what is balayage' in a sentence!
But never ones to shy away from a challenge, we can tell you that balayage allows us to place hair colour exactly where you need it across your hair. We add the colour - often blonde balayage - in vertical sections where it might get caught by the sunlight. Hair colour is beautifully blended with the hair a little darker at the roots and lightening at the tips.
While both balayage and ombré offer beautiful colour transitions, they differ in execution and appearance. Balayage provides a subtle, blended effect with multiple shades that gradually lighten towards the ends.
In contrast, ombré delivers a more pronounced, two-tone lookombré delivers a more pronounced, two-tone look with a clear distinction between the darker roots and lighter tips. Our colour specialists are adept at both techniques and can help you choose the style that best complements your features and preferences.
Blonde balayage is a versatile technique, perfect for adding brightness and depth to your hair. For brunettes, tones like caramel and honey create a warm, sunlit effect that enhances natural hair colour while maintaining a seamless blend.
For those with auburn or strawberry blonde hair, incorporating pale blonde highlights or subtle golden tones can provide a beautiful contrast. These choices not only enhance natural warmth but also add a radiant, multi-dimensional finish.
Our expert colourists specialise in tailoring blonde balayage to suit your unique style. Whether you prefer soft, sun-kissed tones or a bolder transformation, we’ll ensure your look is both personalised and flawless.
One of the primary benefits of balayage is its low maintenance. The gradual transition of colour results in less noticeable regrowth, reducing the frequency of salon visits for touch-ups.
Balayage adds depth and dimension, giving your hair a vibrant and glossy appearance. To maintain the brilliance of your balayage, we recommend regular glossing treatments.
