Full Balayage for Complete, Dimensional Color

Hand painted highlights applied throughout for a seamless, sun kissed look from root to tip.

Full Balayage

A full balayage is the most comprehensive version of hand painted color, designed to add brightness and dimension throughout your entire head of hair. At Painted by Julia in Wilton, CT, we customize every placement so your color flatters your features, complements your haircut, and grows out softly without harsh lines. This service is ideal for clients who want a bigger transformation, a lighter and brighter overall look, or a fresh start that still appears natural and effortless.


We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, maintenance preferences, and hair history. Then we select tones that complement your skin and eyes, from cool beige and champagne to warm caramel and honey. Because the application is freehand, we can place light exactly where it catches and creates movement while keeping depth where your hair needs support.


Clients across Fairfield County choose full balayage when they want impact with a graceful grow out and fewer touch ups than traditional foils. Every appointment is one on one in our private, peaceful studio, which means careful sectioning, mindful timing, and attention to detail from start to finish. If you have been searching for full balayage in Wilton, CT that looks polished on day one and remains beautiful between visits, you are in the right place.

What is Full Balayage?

Full balayage is a technique where highlights are hand painted across the entire head, including the crown, mids, ends, and face frame. Unlike partial balayage, which targets select zones, a full application gives you consistent brightness and dimension from many angles. The result is a sun kissed finish that looks soft at the root, luminous through the mids, and balanced on the ends.


Benefits of full balayage include all over lightness with a natural finish, a softer grow out than foils, customization for subtle or high contrast results, versatility for all hair lengths and textures, and longer intervals between major color appointments. Because the color is painted on the surface and feathered toward the root, you avoid hard lines while still enjoying noticeable lift and glow.


At Painted by Julia, we map each application to your haircut and natural fall so the highlights support your shape rather than fight it. We refine the tone with a professional gloss to perfect the shade, add shine, and seal the cuticle. The finish is dimensional and flattering in every light, whether you style smooth, wear loose waves, or air dry for a lived in look.

At Painted by Julia, we tailor every balayage application to the client. We consider your hair’s starting color, texture, and personal style before selecting the right tones and placement. This ensures your balayage looks intentional, flattering, and easy to maintain.
