What is Balayage Hair Coloring?

Balayage (pronounced bah-lee-ahj) is a freehand hair coloring technique that creates a natural, sun-kissed look with soft, blended highlights. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage gives a more natural, low-maintenance effect with a seamless transition between colors.

How is Balayage Coloring Done?

Hand-painted highlights are applied to the hair in sweeping motions, focusing on areas where the sun would naturally lighten it.

Unlike foil highlights, there are no harsh lines or uniform placement—creating a more dimensional, lived-in color.

The colorist strategically blends lighter and darker tones to add depth and contrast.
