What is Balayage?

Balayage (pronounced bah-lee-ahge) is a French word meaning "to sweep." Unlike traditional foil highlights that follow a uniform pattern, Balayage is a freehand painted highlighting technique.

Our expert colourists hand-paint the lightener onto the surface of your hair to create a soft, multidimensional, and natural-looking gradient.

The result is hair that looks lighter and brighter, with depth and dimension exactly where the sun would naturally hit it.

Why Choose Balayage?

Zero Harsh Lines: Because the colour is painted softly at the root and saturated at the ends, you avoid the "striped" look of traditional highlights.
Low Maintenance: This is the ultimate "lived-in" style. Because the regrowth lines are delicate and less noticeable, you can go longer between salon visits without your roots looking obvious.
Customized to You: No two Balayage services are the same. We customize the placement based on your face shape, hair texture, and how you wear your hair daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because this is a bespoke, hand-painted service, please allow 3 to 4 hours for your appointment. We take our time to ensure the blending is seamless and the integrity of your hair is preserved.

Balayage is the technique (hand-painting); Ombré is a style (dark roots fading to light ends). Balayage typically looks more natural and dimensional, with highlights starting closer to the root in some areas, whereas Ombré is a more distinct horizontal fade.

At Gold Hair Lounge, hair health is our priority. Because Balayage often doesn't require foils (which generate heat), it can be gentler than traditional highlighting. We also utilize La Biosthetique’s conditioning colour lines to protect your locks during the lifting process.
