⚡️BALAYAGE vs HIGHLIGHTS⚡️⠀

What is a Balayage?

Balayage is a less structured method of application, the grow out can be less obvious, without a harsh line of demarcation.

The difference between highlights and balayage is that highlights almost always use foils whereas balayage is more of a visual hand-painted technique. Balayage will always give a more subtle result than traditional highlights.


What's Maintenance Like For Balayage Hair?

While balayage does allow for fewer salon appointments spread farther apart, there are some things to keep in mind between appointments to help keep your hair healthy and your color looking its best.

An average balayage client comes about every 3-4 months . But can that can easily go up to six months since there is a seamless grow out. It all depends on what you're willing to live with.

If you're relying on balayage to break up your natural base color or gradually make the transition of going blonder, suggests upping the ante to 3 or 4 full services a year. If you can afford to, doing a gloss or a halo touchup is always a good idea. Toning in between will help keep the tone in tact, while hairline touch ups will help maintain brightness.⠀⠀

We also recommend that you use moisturizing shampoos , conditioners and masks at home to take home to look after the condition .


What Can You Expect to Pay for Balayage Hair?

The cost of balayage varies depending on the technician level of skills , your hair condition, olaplex and toner use. It's recommended to book a free consultation with one of our balayage specialsist to see what will be the best options for you.
