Best Balayage in Exeter, PA

A Brief Discussion of Balayage

While we think of balayage as a new hair service, it was actually invented in the 1970s and gained popularity recently. Balayage is also not a hair style but a method of applying color. It refers to the act of “sweeping” on the coloring to strands of hair, stemming from the French word “balayer.”

The point of balayage is to achieve natural appearing highlights with a soft appearance at the top and lighter coloring at the ends. A gifted colorist will strategically place these highlights to create the illusion of hair naturally lightened by time spent in the sun. This method can contour the hair to emphasize your best features and minimize those you dislike.

Balayage allows wearers to enjoy quite a few benefits including the following:

• Customization
• Widely appropriate
• Low maintenance
• Less damage

The one downside to balayage is its inability to hide your grays. While they might blend better into the hair, if you have significant grays, you'll need to visit the colorist much more frequently.

Your balayage service will require anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. If you just desire a few highlights to frame your face, you could be in and out of the salon in 15 minutes while a complex, layered coloring job could take 3 hours, particularly if your color requires a multi-step process.

Finding the right stylist for your balayage is essential. This method is not a paint by numbers. The colorist needs to analyze which coloring products are required and apply them effectively. In your search, ask for credentials, browse the stylist's portfolio online, and schedule a consultation.

Once your balayage is done, take care of it! Make sure that you use an intensive and daily conditioning regimen as well as heat protecting products when using heat styling tools. You should use sulfate-free shampoos and come to Lords & Ladies Salon and Medical Spa regularly to keep your color looking its best.
