• Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint. It allows for a sun-kissed natural looking hair colour – similar to what nature gives us as children – with softer, less noticeable re growth lines. The principal idea being less is more when creating soft, natural looks

• Balayage is applied on the surface and not saturated through the section until the very tips, otherwise you would have a streak of colour that isn’t vey soft at all. It can also be called a freehand technique because no foil or meche are used to create the highlights.

It is usually achieved using a balayage technique and is ideal for clients looking for a low-maintenance style.
