What Is Balayage?

Balayage is a freehand coloring technique where lightener is painted onto the hair to create gradual brightness and blended transitions. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage produces a softer finish with less noticeable regrowth, ideal for clients who prefer a sun-kissed look.

Because placement is fully customized, balayage can be subtle or transformative while still maintaining balance, movement, and dimension.

Balayage vs. Highlights vs. Gloss

Balayage

A freehand painting technique that creates soft dimension and a natural grow-out with minimal upkeep.

Highlights

Typically applied using foils or caps, highlights offer more structured, high-contrast brightness from root to ends.

Gloss (or Toner)

A translucent treatment that refines tone, enhances shine, and refreshes color without lifting. Glosses are often paired with balayage to maintain tone.
