What is balayage?
Balayage is a type of highlighting that gives a blended and “sun-kissed” look. The word balayage comes from the french word meaning, “to sweep” and we attribute the connection to the way lightener is hand painted onto hair sections in a “sweeping” fashion.
Since balayage swept the beauty scene with its irresistible look and benefits—the art of highlighting and trends that inspire us have been forever changed.
What we love about balayage...
Versatile and customizable
Low maintenance
Modern look
Healthier result with color that gets even better over time
We all love the soft, modern look of balayage and its low maintenance upkeep—but did you know balayage is also healthier for your hair? In traditional foil highlights, the hair could be badly damaged over time from overlapping previously bleached hair and over processing in the foils.
With balayage, the hair is not isolated in thin sections and foil packets—therefore not being as aggressively lifted. Also, with balayage, the overlapping that occurs is intentional and since the overlapped hair was not over processed to begin with-- the result is less damage and a beautiful dimensional lift with different tones in the highlights over time.
