Balayage places light exactly where it flatters—around your face, along your part, and through the mid-lengths—so the result looks sun-kissed on day one and effortless weeks later. We’ll choose the right blend of hand painting and foils based on your hair, then refine tone and finish with a style so you can see the movement and shine.
