What is Balayage?

In French, the word Balayage means to sweep. Balayage highlights are typically painted onto the hair using a brush – applying where you think will look best. The goal is to leave your hair with naturally blended highlights and dimension.

What is the difference between Highlights and Balayage?

Balayage is a freehand technique whereas Highlights traditionally use foiling or cap techniques. With Balayage, the result is more natural and with foils, you get a more uniform finish.

How long does Balayage last?

Since the nature of Balayage is achieving naturally blended highlights, the process results in a more natural-looking grow out. Because of this, your Balayage can last up to 6 months, excluding any additional lightening or cutting.

How can I maintain my Balayage?

To keep your Balayage looking fresh, we recommend continued maintenance by glossing with L’Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss every 10 days.
