The technique

Every balayage is painted by hand, freehand, with no foils. The colorist reads how the light falls on your hair and places each stroke by eye — so the color looks sun-grown rather than striped, and grows out soft instead of leaving a hard line. It is slower, more skilled work, and it is the reason the result looks like it was never colored at all.

Frequently asked

What makes French balayage different from American highlights?

French balayage is painted freehand directly onto the hair, with no foils. The result is a softer, more natural transition that grows out without a sharp regrowth line.

How often do I need to come back?

Most clients return every 12–16 weeks. Because there’s no harsh regrowth line, you can stretch appointments much further than with foil highlights.

Will balayage damage my hair?

Balayage is gentler than foil highlighting because the lightener processes in open air. We finish every appointment with a gloss treatment.
