What’s the difference between balayage and traditional highlights?

Traditional highlights are usually applied using foils for defined contrast, while balayage is hand-painted for a more natural, blended effect. Compared to structured highlights, balayage creates a sun-kissed look that grows out gracefully with less upkeep.

How long does balayage last?

Balayage hair in Singapore typically lasts between 3 to 6 months. Because of its soft transitions and root-blending technique, the colour fades naturally, allowing for longer intervals between appointments.

Is balayage suitable for all hair types?

Yes, balayage works beautifully on various hair lengths, colours, and textures. Your stylist will customise the application based on your natural base, hair condition, and desired effect for a flattering, seamless result.

Can I combine balayage with a full hair colouring service?

Absolutely. Balayage can be paired with global colour or root tinting to complete your desired look. During your visit, our stylists will recommend the best combination from our hair colouring service offerings to suit your goals.

What is Balayage?

Balayage (pronounced “bah-lee-ahzh”) is a freehand hair colouring technique originating from France. The word itself means “to sweep”, a reference to the way colour is hand-painted onto the hair, rather than applied using traditional foils.

Unlike standard highlights that follow a uniform pattern, balayage allows for a more intuitive, custom placement of light and shade. This method creates a soft gradient from roots to ends, mimicking the effect of hair naturally lightened by the sun.

Maintaining Your Balayage Colour

Balayage is loved not only for its beauty but for how gracefully it grows out. Still, a few thoughtful steps can keep your colour vibrant and your hair healthy.

Use Colour-Safe Shampoo and Conditioner

Gentle, sulphate-free products will help maintain the tone and prevent brassiness between appointments.

Book Occasional Glossing Sessions

A toner or gloss every few months helps refresh your balayage colour, keeping it luminous without requiring a full colour touch-up.

Hydrate
Regularly

Balayage involves lightening, so incorporating deep conditioning treatments or a keratin treatment can help maintain smoothness and shine.

Limit Heat
Styling

Protect hair from high temperatures with thermal sprays and try to minimise direct heat to prolong the vibrancy of your balayage treatment in Singapore.
