Balayage Near Me Chelsea

Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates a more natural, sun-kissed look compared to traditional foil highlights. With balayage, colour is painted onto the hair in sweeping motions, creating soft, blended highlights that grow out more naturally.

Traditional highlights use foils for precise, uniform lightening throughout the hair, creating more defined contrast and requiring more frequent touch-ups.

Balayage typically lasts 12-16 weeks before needing a touch-up, making it lower maintenance than traditional highlights. The hand-painted technique creates a natural grow-out that doesn't show harsh regrowth lines.

Most clients return every 3-4 months for refresh appointments to maintain the perfect balance of colour and dimension.
