Until then, find out everything you need to know about balayage below.
What Is Balayage Hair Colour?
Balayage involves hand-painting soft highlights throughout your hair. Taken from the French word meaning “to sweep”, it is a free-hand technique which allows your Shine hairstylist to place your highlights exactly where they are needed. It will give your hair a beautiful, natural look as though you have been out in the sun all day.
The effect given is subtler than that achieved with conventional foil highlights because the colour is painted free-hand and there are no hard lines. The result is a bespoke individual look which can be adapted to your individual personality and style.
Is Balayage Suitable For ALL Hair Colours?
The simple answer? Yes, Balayage can look stunning on all shades of blonde, brown, red, auburn...or even grey hair! In addition to working with natural shades such as popular blondes and warm caramel tones, you could use balayage to try out fashion colours such as on-trend pastel shades.
How Are Balayage Highlights Applied?
The team of skillful hair colour technicians at Shine salons in Stoke Newington will paint the balayage colour directly onto your hair, applying it more finely closer to your roots and with bolder brush strokes towards the tips. This freehand technique allows us to highlight areas where the sun would naturally lift your colour if you were on holiday, giving it a finish that’s subtle and also multidimensional.
What Are The Costs And How Long Does A Balayage Hair Colour Appointment Take?
The length of your appointment and cost, will depend on type of service, hair density, length and condition. We will be able to advise you on how long it will take and costs if you book in for a complimentary consultation at your nearest Shine salon.
Please note, if your hair is damaged, we may ask you to join us a week before your appointment to strengthen your hair with a protein based Innoluxe treatment, so that your hair is better prepared for the colouring process. We recommend using INNOluxe to improve your hair’s strength and condition and produce a more vibrant colour.
What’s The Difference Between Balayage & Ombré?
Ombré produces a contrasting two-toned effect from root to tip but balayage is a more subtle technique, and only a few sections of highlights will be added to your roots. Ombré gives colour that is dark at the roots and gradually becomes lighter towards the tips in a defined way, whereas balayage is more multi-dimensional and the colour is strongest at the tips of your hair.
There are many other hair colouring techniques and variations on balayage, including babylights, baby balayage, palm painting or free-hand highlights. If you’ve seen a hair look you love, bring us in an image and we’ll adapt the look for you....when possible!

How Do I Maintain My Balayage Hair Colour?
We can advise you on how to keep your Balayage looking fabulous for longer. One of the best things about the look is that it is relatively low maintenance - your root regrowth will be less obvious with balayage than with conventional foils.
