Balayage
The technique which has dominated the hair colour world. We have been perfecting our technique and products for several years to achieve the best and most personalised looks possible.
What is Balayage?
Well to start ‘balayage’ is french for ‘swept away’ which in hair dressing terms means one colour seamlessly transitioning to another. It is a highlighting technique that is tailored to frame your skin tones, face shape, hair cut shape, your personality and lifestyle.
Balayage is a huge subject which can create hundreds of result which barely resemble each other. You and your stylist with gather your ideas, feel inspired and then create your personalised look. The only thing which will determine that your colour is a balayage one, is your highlights will appear beautifully graduated from your base colour.
Why is Balayage so popular?
- Very low maintenance. You choose when you want to refresh your colour and are not committed by root growth,
- So easily adaptable, the effects are infinitely customisable
- Full of taste and elegance. A balayage feels wearable and instantly comfortable
