What is Balayage Hair Color?
Balayage is a French hair coloring technique that means “sweeping” or “painting” in English. It is hand painting lightened sections of hair to create a sun-kissed or beachy look.
Balayage is a popular hair coloring option because it looks very natural. Instead of having harsh lines of demarcation between colored and non-colored hair, balayage fades the color at the root or mid ends of the hair gradually. This makes it appear as though the lightened sections have been naturally kissed by the sun. See different looks here!
Our stylists are trained in the balayage technique, applying color using a paintbrush motion. They sweep strands of hair through a lightening solution to achieve a blended, multidimensional look. Depending on your goal, this could also be a softer look with a focus on hair integrity.
Balayage is often less maintenance if coming to the salon every 6 weeks isn’t for you. The hand-painted look makes it less obvious when roots start to grow in.
If you want a low-maintenance, sun-kissed hair color that complements your natural texture, ask about balayage during your next salon visit. Our stylists would be happy to discuss if this technique is right for you! We want to select an option that fits your lifestyle and meets your coloring goals.
