Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique designed for a softer, more natural blend—like the way the sun would brighten your hair, but elevated. Because placement is diffused, balayage is loved for its low-maintenance grow-out.
Why Clients Choose Balayage
Softer regrowth (no harsh line)
Custom placement based on your haircut and features
Dimensional brightness that still feels effortless
Longer time between major appointments compared to traditional foils
Full Balayage
Full balayage lightens more of the hair through mid-lengths and ends for a more noticeable result.
Partial Balayage
Partial balayage focuses on specific areas (often around the face + top layers) for a softer, more subtle brightness.
Lived-In Balayage
A softer, blended balayage designed to look expensive even as it grows—perfect if you want dimension without frequent touch-ups.
Face-Framing Balayage
Face-framing balayage places brightness around the front hairline to highlight your features without a full overhaul.
Bronde Balayage
“Bronde” lives in the luxe middle ground—brown + blonde tones for a sun-kissed, dimensional result that grows out beautifully.
Ombré / Sombré (Balayage-Inspired)
Ombré is a more dramatic dark-to-light transition; sombré is the softer, more blended version.
Reverse Balayage (Adding Depth Back In)
Reverse balayage adds deeper tones to bring dimension back—perfect when hair feels “too blonde” or you want a richer, more natural finish.

Many full balayage results can last 3–6 months before a refresh, depending on tone and contrast.
Balayage often lasts 12–16 weeks (or longer) because the placement blends as it grows out; traditional foil highlights tend to need a refresh sooner.
If you want your tone to stay creamy, cool, or brass-free, a toner/gloss is often what keeps balayage looking freshly finished.
Yes—balayage is highly customizable and commonly used to create caramel, bronde, or softly lifted dimension.
