Balayage

Balayage & Foilyage

Balayage is a French word that means "sweeping" or "painting." It involves hand-painting the hair with colour, typically using a brush or a paddle. The colour is applied in a freehand manner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of the hair to create a soft, blended, and natural-looking effect. Balayage is known for its low-maintenance nature, as the colour grows out gracefully without a noticeable regrowth line. 

Foilyage is a technique that combines the principles of balayage with the use of foils. It involves applying colour or lightener to the hair using a balayage technique, and then wrapping the painted sections in foils. The foils help to intensify the colour and create more contrast and lift. Foilyage is often used when a more dramatic or defined result is desired, as the foils help to isolate and process the colour more effectively.
