What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a hair colouring technique that has been top trend for the past few years. This technique involves our skilled hair colourists hand-painting highlights throughout your hair to mimic where the sun would naturally lighten your hair.
Typically, blonde balayage is popular as this creates that naturally, sun-kissed look. However, at Spirit Hair Company, we can create balayage in whatever hair colour you would like.
The Difference Between Balayage & Ombré
Ombré and balayage are often confused with each other as they both create a hair colour that is darker at the roots and lighter at the tips of the hair. However, our hair experts know the key difference between these hair colouring techniques...
Ombré creates a more uniform gradient hair colour from dark to light as a consistent hair colour throughout the hair. On the other hand, through balayage our skilled colour technicians create a bespoke hair colour with expertly placed highlights weaved at different points throughout the hair.
Highlights, Babylights & The Money Piece
As the name suggests, highlights involve lightening the hair. We can also use lowlights to add darker colours to your hair to create added depth and dimension to your hair colour. Babylights are really light, thin highlights that mimic the way the sun lightens children's hair.
The money piece is a top hair colour trend that looks great when paired with balayage. This hair colouring technique is also known as face-framing highlights.
Colour Melts, Root Stretching & Reverse Balayage
Root stretch and colour melting are hair colouring techniques that stretch and blend your root hair colour with highlights or balayage to create the effect that the roots are melting into the lighter hair colour. This helps to create a more natural-looking hair colour.
Reverse balayage does what it says on the tin! Rather than your roots being darker and the tips of your hair being lighter, this is reversed so your hair is lighter at the roots and darker towards the ends of your hair.
