Frequently Asked Questions

What is balayage?
Balayage is a hand-painted colouring technique that creates soft, natural-looking highlights. It blends lighter tones seamlessly through the mid-lengths and ends, with minimal regrowth lines.
Is balayage suitable for all hair types?
Yes. Balayage works beautifully on most hair lengths, textures, and shades. It’s fully customisable and especially flattering for those seeking a sun-kissed or dimensional look.
How long does balayage last?
Balayage is low-maintenance and can last 3 to 4 months before needing a refresh. Many clients book in for a toner or gloss in between to keep the colour looking its best.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Highlights use foils for precise, structured placement. Balayage is freehand and creates a softer, more natural effect. Both are beautiful—we’ll help you choose what suits you best.
Do I need a patch test before balayage?
Yes. A patch test is required at least 48 hours before any colouring service. It’s quick, essential for safety, and helps us personalise your experience.
