What is balayage?

Balayage is a hand-painted colour technique. Lighter colour is swept onto the hair so it blends softly from darker roots to lighter lengths, without the sharp lines of traditional foils. Because the regrowth looks natural, many people find it easier to maintain than all-over colour.

What affects the final price

  • Length and thickness: longer or thicker hair needs more product and more time.
  • Your starting colour: going from dark hair to a much lighter shade usually takes longer than a subtle change.
  • Colour history: previous dye, bleach, rebonding or perms can change what is possible in one visit.
  • The look you want: a soft, natural blend and a bright, high-contrast result are different amounts of work.
  • Care add-ons: a treatment such as the Japanese Repair Treatment can be added on the day if your hair needs it.
