What is balayage?

«

Balayage is a way of painting soft highlights throughout your hair.  It is a free-hand technique which allows us to put your highlights exactly where they are needed.  It will give you hair a beautiful natural look with no hard lines.

Does balayage work on all hair colours?

«

Yes!  Balayage can be created on all shades of blondebrownredauburn or even grey hair.  

Are babylights & root stretch the same as balayage?

«

Balayage goes by many names and your Ruby Mane colour specialist will understand exactly what you want if you mention balayage, babylights, baby balayage, root melt, root stretch, colour melt or free-hand highlights.  If you've seen a look you love, show the image to your colour technician so we can adapt it for you.

How should I prepare for my balayage hair appointment?

«

Book in for a consultation so we can assess the condition of your hair and advise you on what is achievable - we charge £5 for a consultation but this is refunded from your bill when you've had your hair done.  We will also ask you to come in for a quick skin test at least 48 hours before your hair colour appointment to make sure you do not suffer any reactions to the chemical processes.

How long does a balayage hair appointment take?

«

Your appointment will take at least two hours, depending on whether we are adding balayage throughout your hair or just to the bits we can see (half a head, for example).  If your hair is damaged, your appointment will take longer as we will work with you to improve the condition of your hair so it is ready for the colouring process.

Are there similar looks to balayage?

«

We could add face-framing highlights to brighten the look around your face - rather than running colour throughout your hair.  This is classed as sample/part foils around your face.

What are the downsides to having balayage?

«

The great news is that this is a relatively low maintenance look.  Your Balayage would need to be re-done at least 3 times a year and we'd recommend a 6-week colour glossing touch-up to freshen it up in between visits.

How much does balayage cost?

«

As you can imagine, the price of balayage differs from person to person, depending on the look you want, the condition of your hair, how long and how thick your hair is.  That is why we recommend you book in for a consultation.  It costs £5 for the consultation but we will take that off your bill when you come to pay for your appointment.  During your consultation we will discuss the look you desire, how long it will take to create the look, how much it will cost, and give you maintenance advice.
