Balayage Highlights

Balayage highlights are an elegant and natural-looking way to lighten your locks without the need for frequent touchups or maintenance visits. Plus, their low maintenance requirements allow you to go months between touch ups!

Balayage highlights are freeform, unlike foil highlights which require foils for application of pigment to hair. Balayage creates an undulating sunlit effect that works on all complexions and hair textures alike.
