So, What Is Balayage?
Balayage involves hand-painting soft highlights throughout your hair to accentuate your hairstyle and facial features. Taken from the French, meaning “to sweep”, it is a free-hand technique which allows us to place your highlights exactly where they are needed.
It will give your hair a beautiful natural look as though you have been out in the sun all day. The effect given is subtler than that achieved with conventional foil highlights because the colour is painted free-hand and there are no hard lines. The result is a bespoke individual look which can be adapted to your individual personality and style.
Please Note: If you are new to hair colour (or have not had a hair colour with us in six months or more) you will require a quick allergy patch test 48 hours before your appointment.
Balayage FAQs...

Is balayage suitable for blonde, red or brunette Hair?
«Absolutely! Balayage can look stunning on all shades of blonde, brown, red, auburn or even grey hair. In addition to working with natural shades such as popular blondes and warm caramel tones, you could use balayage to try out fashion colours such as on-trend pastel shades.
How are balayage highlights applied?
