Highlights are a great way to liven up your hairstyle with a soft, natural splash of lightness. Balayage, which comes from the French word for “sweeping,” is a hair-lightening method that uses a freehand technique instead of sectioning off hair to be dyed. This method creates multidimensional, lower-contrast highlights that can brighten up your hair without creating a stark or severe appearance.
Balayage highlights can give your hair a more natural appearance than other highlighting methods. Because balayage is done by directly painting the surface of your hair, it eliminates the harsh color contrast that can sometimes come from other highlighting methods. This leads to a natural, sun-kissed result, as the highlights blend in seamlessly with your existing hair color.
Balayage highlights can also be easier to maintain than other kinds of highlights. Because these highlights do not start at your hair’s roots, you do not need constant touch ups due to regrowth. You can let your hair grow out without worrying about a blocky or harsh appearance, as your highlights will continue blending in with the rest of your hair.
Though balayage highlights have become extremely popular, it is a technique that requires precise skill and training that you can’t find at every salon. Here at Salon Povera, we are proud to offer an experienced team fully equipped to give you the balayage highlights of your dreams. Our stylists can personalize your highlights to be exactly what you’re looking for.
