The colour is typically a few shades lighter than your base colour, and becomes denser towards the ends of your hair. Balayage is applied without foils and results in a sun-kissed ombre effect that’s more natural than traditional foil highlights.

Avoid washing your hair or going swimming for three days after a balayage treatment.
