Balayage Sinking Spring, PA

Balayage, You Say?

Let's begin with pronunciation. Balayage is pronounced as “bah-lee-ahge.” Borrowed from the French language, the meaning of the word is to literally sweep, which is an apt description of the balayage technique. Hand painted highlights promote a gradual lightening toward hair ends.

Balayage highlights mimic the natural highlights sported by those who spent a great deal of the summer outdoors. Manual application allows colorists to tailor the placement of the highlights to play up or play down specific features. The natural aesthetic of the balayage technique also promotes a flattering, natural period of growing out.

As balayage treated hair grows, the new growth doesn't create a harsh line that requires immediate touch up. You can choose when to return to the salon instead of your color choosing for you.

Breakdown of the Highlights

Highlighting is a generic reference to lightening pieces of hair in comparison to a darker base color. The highlights of yesteryear were one size fits all, but this limitation is no more. Let's consider the various types of highlights - including balayage.

• Balayage - highlighting technique that involves the manual application of highlights and can involve separation of hair or not. This method involves a gradual lightening from darker at the roots to mid-length and lighter at the ends with no clear lines.
• Foiling - highlighting technique that employs sheets of foil to cover treated hair as it processes the applied chemical. The foil protects the rest of the hair from the chemicals and facilitates the efficiency of the chemicals. This treatment usually extends down the entire hair shaft for a comprehensive highlight.
• Babylights - a highlighting technique that involves highlighting miniscule sections of hair for extremely subtle highlights
• Ombre - a highlighting technique with darker color close to the roots and a more substantial color differential at the ends with an optional transition line.
• Sombre - a highlighting technique that is very soft with a transition difference of two shades at the most that moves from darker at the roots to a very gradual lightening down the hair length with no lines of transition.
