What is balayage?Balayage is a French colouring technique that means “to sweep”, referring to the way colour is hand-painted onto the hair. Unlike traditional foils, which create a more uniform result, balayage focuses on natural transitions, mimicking the way sunlight would naturally lighten the hair over time. Using freehand application, our balayage hair stylists apply colour more heavily through the mid-lengths and ends, leaving the roots softer for a more lived-in finish. Balayage is highly versatile and works beautifully across all hair colours, textures and lengths. What makes balayage so popular?If you’re after low-maintenance colour that still turns heads, balayage offers the best of both worlds.
The freehand technique creates a gradual transition between tones, avoiding harsh lines and creating a more natural, sun-kissed effect.
Because the roots are left softer, balayage grows out more gracefully than traditional foils, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
Each application is tailored to your hair’s length, texture and natural movement, so the result is always unique to you. |  |
- Adds depth and dimension
Balayage enhances your hair’s natural structure by creating contrast through the mid-lengths and ends, adding visual interest and brightness.
- Suitable for all hair colours and types
Whether you’re blonde, brunette or somewhere in between, balayage can be adapted to suit your shade and style preferences.
Maintaining your balayage
A few steps can help you keep that salon-fresh finish for longer. Our stylists will always recommend a personalised care routine, but here are the essentials:
- Use colour-safe products
We recommend using a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for coloured hair. This helps preserve tone, prevent fading and keep your hair feeling healthy between visits.
- Book toning or gloss appointments
To maintain the richness of your balayage, especially in blonde or lighter tones, a toner or gloss every six to eight weeks can help refresh the colour and add shine.
- Protect against heat
If you regularly use styling tools, a thermal protectant is key. It shields the hair from heat damage and helps your colour stay vibrant and even through the ends.
- Nourish with treatments
Balayage works through the mid-lengths and ends, which can be more prone to dryness. A weekly moisture mask or leave-in treatment will help keep your hair smooth and stunning.
