Balayage

 

Balayage can be a bit confusing—it encompasses various styles and techniques leading to diverse results. But at its core, it simply means 'freehand' coloring. So, think outside the foil! Typical outcomes include Ombres, Sombres, and Sun-kissed looks.


OMBRE

The term "ombre" usually refers to a gradual transition from dark to light. This technique results in ends that are significantly lighter than the roots, or sometimes the other way around. The transition from dark to light is smooth and seamless, but there's a clear distinction between the darker and lighter shades.

SOMBRE

Think of the "sombre" style as an evolution of the classic "ombre." It's like an ombre with a subtle twist - instead of a stark contrast between the roots and ends, highlights are added to blend them seamlessly. Achieved through a refined balayage technique, the result is a softer, more gradual transition. Expect an overall lighter look that adds dimension and depth to your hair.

SUN-KISSED

The "sun-kissed" style epitomizes the effortless beauty of balayage. It offers a subtle, natural-looking effect, reminiscent of a day spent basking in the sun. Unlike more dramatic transformations, this approach gently brightens your hair, perfect for those seeking a fresh, seasonal update without straying too far from their current look.
