How often are you caught staring at someone’s hair in public because you just can’t decipher how their color was done and where their seamless color starts and stops? How could you ask for something similar because it just seems as though it was customized for Their Hair? 

That, my friend, was the result of an artistically placed Balayage. Balayage is a technique of hand-painting color or lightener on the hair. The name comes from the French word “to sweep”, as the colorist selects pieces of hair to lighten in order to create a very natural, graduated look. Pieces of hair are painted free-hand with a brush and can be lightened more or less for a varied, sun-kissed look. This can be done with or without foils. Usually, your roots are left your natural tone, and your hair becomes lighter as it reaches your ends with soft contrast and variation. How much contrast, how close to the roots, how much depth is left at your ends is all based on your consultation.

Because Balayage is so softly blended off your root, you are able to go anywhere from 3-9 months between appointments with the minimal upkeep of your trims and glazes in-between color services. Now that is a maintenance plan that many of us can get behind! With each balayage service, the canvas becomes more and more unique to the client that we can see why this trend will never fade.

Balayage ranges from $275 – $325
