Highlighting and balayage are two popular hair coloring techniques that can transform your look with depth, dimension, and natural beauty. While both methods involve lightening the hair, they offer different effects, and choosing the right one depends on the style you’re looking to achieve.
Highlighting involves sectioning the hair and applying color from root to tip. Traditional highlights are often done with foil to create a more uniform, structured look. This technique is great if you want a bold, noticeable contrast between your base color and the lighter strands. Highlights can be customized in terms of placement and thickness, giving you a range of options from subtle to dramatic.
Balayage, on the other hand, is a freehand technique where the colorist paints the highlights directly onto the hair. This results in a more natural, sun-kissed effect with softer, more gradual transitions between shades. Because balayage focuses on the mid-lengths and ends, it creates a low-maintenance style that grows out seamlessly. It’s perfect for those who want a lived-in look with a beautiful blend of shades.
Both techniques can be tailored to your hair type, length, and color preferences. Whether you’re looking for classic highlights or a more modern balayage, our expert colorists will work with you to create a custom look that enhances your features and suits your lifestyle.
