The Balayage Method of Highlighting

Balayage isn't a new technique, but it is newly popular. First invented in the 1970s, balayage had a brief resurgence in the 1990s and a more recent surge where the technique is almost ubiquitous among celebrities' hairstyles. With this technique of highlighting, stylists paint color directly onto the hair strategically with the intention of creating the appearance of sun-lightened hair.

When stylists use balayage to highlight hair, they don't use foil and caps as with traditional highlights. This method is universal in application; the length of hair doesn't matter - short, medium, and long hair can be highlighted with the balayage technique. The right esthetician will even adjust the placement to accentuate your best features.

Balayage is a highlighting method, so it does require two steps - bleaching and coloring. To create a look with a blended and multi-dimensional, natural coloring, clients may have to sit for several treatments before the look is complete. The overall time depends on how many highlights you want and where you want them placed. Even though this method uses lightening products, the amount of damage is less than other highlighting methods.

The balayage approach is subtle. The highlights are appropriate for all shades as well as lengths. As the color is painted on, the lighter color goes on to the ends, with a lighter touch at the top and a heavier hand on the ends. The actual roots are left untouched, so the style looks a bit grown out from the beginning, as does a naturally lightened style. The grow out period of the hair doesn't look odd at all making it possible for balayage clients to postpone their touch ups.

If you're tempted to balayage your own hair, resist the urge. This technique is one that requires artistry and expertise. Our estheticians prove themselves before they're ever allowed to touch your hair. Feel free to check out our Instagram evidence.

Post-balayage, keep your appointments and your conditioning regimen. Color-safe shampoos will also protect your highlights from fading, and a toner application will keep your look from becoming brassy. No matter the color you choose for your balayage, keep it looking fresh and beautiful by following our care guidance.
