Balayage

The French hair painting technique that creates natural, sun-kissed highlights with a seamless, lived-in grow-out.

What is Balayage?

Balayage is a freehand hair painting technique where color is swept onto the surface of the hair. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage creates a softer, more natural gradient with no harsh lines. The result is a sun-kissed, dimensional look that grows out gracefully.
