Balayage was developed in the 1970’s in France. It is a freehand hair coloring technique which ‘sweeps’ hair color into a few strands or chunks at a time, depending on the desired look.

I use foils to isolate my chosen sections and paint the desired shade, sometimes focusing on just the ends or maybe letting sweeps of color travel closer to the interior. ​

This technique achieves a natural, sun kissed look. Traditionally the technique was used for natural blonde highlights on blonde hair it actually works well on brunettes, redheads and to help cover up or blend those pesky grays. 

Regardless of length or color, a form of balayage can be used on anyone!​ Balayage is a great way to give your hair dimension with both vibrant highlights and lowlights.

A close cousin to the still popular ombré, the balayage method gives a soft, sun kissed effect. While ombré is often a dramatic effect, with a deeper base color, fading into a much lighter color at the ends, balayage is more natural and organic.  Like you spent the summer on the beach.  many times my clients will ask for an ombré when in fact, they are really seeking the results of balayage.  

I love that balayage allows a client more freedom to schedule their color appointments further apart. 
Unlike traditional foil highlights, which are mostly applied in a linear and grid pattern and are packed in for maximum effect, balayage focuses on quality instead of quantity and regrowth is graceful and soft. You'll love the results! Call or text me during the day or make a 24/7 online appointment request.
