Types of Balayage We Offer
What is Balayage?
Balayage is a freehand hair coloring technique that originated in France, known for creating natural looking, sun kissed highlights. Instead of wrapping hair in foils, the color is painted directly onto the hair surface, which allows for a soft transition between shades and a finish that mimics how the sun lightens hair over time. The approach is highly customizable, which means your color can be subtle and whisper soft or bold with high contrast ribbons, depending on your goals.
This technique is a smart choice for clients who want a low maintenance hair color that grows out gracefully. Because highlights are placed strategically and without a harsh line of demarcation, balayage often allows longer time between touch ups compared to traditional highlights.
Benefits of balayage include soft, blended transitions between tones, versatility for both understated and statement looks, compatibility with many hair lengths and textures, fewer salon visits due to seamless grow out, and placement that complements natural movement and face shape.
At Painted by Julia, every application is mapped to the individual. We consider your starting level, undertone, texture, and daily styling habits before selecting the right tones and placement. The goal is color that feels effortless, photographs beautifully in every light, and remains easy to maintain between appointments.
Benefits of balayage include:
- Natural, lived-in color that works with your hair’s movement
- A custom look tailored to your features and style
- Low maintenance with fewer touch-ups
- Versatility for subtle dimension or dramatic contrast
