Balayage

Balayage is all about seamless, sun kissed colour that looks premium, not painted on. Expect a thorough consultation, meticulous placement, and a glossy finish that grows out softly so your hair stays polished between visits.

More information

Choose balayage when you want natural looking dimension, brighter lengths, and a softer grow out without harsh lines. Your appointment starts with a clear consultation to agree tone, placement, and the level of contrast that suits your style and diary. We work carefully to keep the blend clean and wearable, then refine the colour for shine and balance. You will leave with modern, flattering colour that photographs beautifully and is straightforward to maintain with the right home care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect when booking a balayage appointment?
You can expect a detailed consultation first, so the tone and placement suit your hair, lifestyle, and how you like to wear it. The colour is applied with care to create a soft blend, then finished with toning and styling so it looks polished on the day. You will also get clear guidance on upkeep between visits.
Who is balayage best suited to?
Balayage suits anyone who wants believable dimension and a softer regrowth line rather than a strong, uniform root. It is ideal if you like colour that looks natural in different lighting and stays wearable as it grows out. Your stylist will advise on what will flatter your base colour and skin tone.
How often do I need to refresh balayage?
Most clients refresh balayage less often than traditional all over lightening, but timing depends on contrast, your natural regrowth, and how bright you want to stay. Many people book a refresh every few months, with tonal updates in between when needed. We will recommend a schedule that fits your diary and hair goals.
Can balayage be done on previously coloured hair?
Yes, balayage can often be tailored to hair that has been coloured before, but the plan depends on what is already on your hair and its condition. Sometimes the best results come from a staged approach to keep the hair looking and feeling healthy. A consultation helps set realistic expectations and a clear route to your goal.
How do I look after my hair after balayage?
Use colour safe shampoo and conditioner, add a weekly mask, and protect your hair from heat to keep the colour glossy and the hair strong. Limit high heat styling and use a heat protectant every time you blow dry or straighten. If you are prone to brassiness, we can recommend the right toning routine for your shade.
