About this treatment

Balayage is freehand surface-painted highlights — softer, more dimensional, and built to grow out without the hard regrowth line of traditional foils. Every appointment opens with a real consultation: tone, maintenance, lifestyle and the goal. We design the lift before any product is mixed.

Our colourists work bespoke, with bond-builder added to every lightener to protect condition. The finish is lived-in by design — the kind of colour that looks just as good five weeks in as five hours in.

What to expect

  1. Consultation

    15 minutes with your colourist. We talk through history, tone preference, maintenance budget and the brief — and design the lift before mixing.

  2. Application

    Freehand painting through the mid-lengths and ends. Bond-builder added throughout. Processing time varies by base level and target tone.

  3. Tone & treatment

    Toned at the basin and again at the chair to fine-tune. Bond-protect treatment to seal the cuticle.

  4. Cut & finish

    Optional cut paired into the appointment, then a tailored blow-dry that shows off the new dimension and gives you the technique to recreate it at home.

Aftercare

Use a sulphate-free shampoo and a tone-correcting weekly mask. Heat-protect every style. Book a gloss refresh at the 6-week mark to keep tone true, and a full balayage refresh every 10–14 weeks. We send you home with the exact aftercare for your shade.

FAQs

How long does balayage last?

A well-applied balayage holds tone for 8–12 weeks. The hand-painted finish grows out softly with no harsh regrowth line — most clients book a refresh every 10–14 weeks.

What's the difference between balayage and highlights?

Highlights are foiled root-to-tip in defined sections. Balayage is freehand-painted on the surface for a softer, more sun-kissed finish that grows out without a hard line.

Is balayage damaging to hair?

Because balayage typically lifts mid-lengths and ends rather than the full root, it's gentler than full-head bleaching. We add bond-builder to every lightener and recommend a tailored aftercare regime.

How often should you get balayage touched up?

Every 10–14 weeks for most clients. A gloss-only refresh between full balayages keeps tone fresh without additional lift.

How long does a balayage appointment take?

Plan for 3–4 hours including consultation, application, processing, toning and finish. Long or dense hair can run to 5 hours.
