What is Balayage?
Balayage, derived from the French word 'balayer,' meaning to sweep, is a technique rather than a specific colour. It's all about how the colour is applied. Achieving the perfect balayage requires training, skill, and a creative touch, and that's exactly what you get with the experts at Anthony James Hair Salon.
Our balayage specialists craft a custom, natural-looking hair colour that starts soft at the roots and gently lightens towards the tips. Women love balayage because it's low maintenance, meaning fewer trips to the salon, saving you both time and money. Plus, it complements all hair colours, from vibrant fashion shades to delicate pastels.
Balayage or Ombré?
People often mix up these two hair colour techniques, and they can give you similar-looking results. Ombré hair colouring gives you a noticeable contrast from the roots to the tips. On the other hand, Balayage is a bit more subtle and brings in multiple shades with a touch of colour added through the roots.
If you're after a bolder look, Ombré is your go-to. It creates a striking difference, especially when paired with trendy fashion hair colours. You can even flip it around, lightening the roots and keeping the ends dark.
Now, Balayage offers a variety of techniques to match your desired look, like babylights, root melt, root stretch, colour melt, or free-hand highlights. Let's find the perfect style for you!
Balayage vs Highlights
Let's break down the difference between traditional highlights and balayage in simple terms. Traditional highlights involve wrapping sections of hair in foil from root to tip, creating distinct lines of colour. This method is more high-maintenance, as the colour is applied from roots to ends, requiring touch-ups every few weeks as your hair grows.
Balayage, on the other hand, is a hand-painted technique applied from mid-lengths to ends, with fewer highlights overall. This means less noticeable root regrowth, making it a lower-maintenance option. The foil is still used during balayage for quicker colour development.
For a balanced, blended, and softer look, go for balayage. If you're after a more intense lightening effect, consult with your Anthony James colour expert about traditional highlights. We're here to help you achieve the perfect style for your hair!

How Long Will My Balayage Appointment Take?
The length of your balayage appointment will depend upon how much hair you have and how much hair colour we are adding throughout your hair. Book in for a consultation at Anthony James Hair Salon in Halifax, where our colour specialists will be able to discuss the hair colour look you desire and assess the colour and condition of your hair.
Please note: If your hair has previously been damaged, such as from over-processing or sun damage, your appointment will take longer as we will need to improve the condition of your hair so that it is prepared for the hair colouring process. During your consultation, we will advise on the methods that we can use to repair your hair during the lightening process.
