Balayage: What is it?

Hi everyone,

Recently Balayage has been sweeping the town and many customers have been requesting for a balayage to be done. But what exactly is a Balayage?

Balayage is a french term, meaning “to sweep”. Hence, a balayage is essentially sweeping color over sections of your hair to make it a few shades lighter from your base hair color. Doing so creates the look of sunkissed hair (hair that has been naturally lightened by the sun). For Balayage, foils are not used (unlike highlights) and thus the lighter parts look more natural compared to highlights. Often, stylists would leave the hair at the bottom darker so as to create a 3D effect and add movement to your hair.

Hopefully this post has been informative for those of you looking to have a balayage done!
