Assessment
We review structure, density, current tone and previous colour history.
Bespoke colour that preserves the hair's natural movement, brightens the face and creates controlled transitions from root to tip.
A balayage plan considers the hair’s natural fall, haircut, face frame, current colour and previous services together. The aim is not to lighten every area equally, but to balance brightness and natural depth for the individual.
In balayage, the placement of light is planned directly around movement and the intended contrast. Airtouch uses airflow to support sectioning and aims for a finer distribution, while ombre can create a more defined concentration of light through the ends.
The technique name alone does not determine the right choice. Hair resilience, previous colour layers, natural base and daily care habits set the practical limits of the plan.
We review structure, density, current tone and previous colour history.
Light areas are mapped around the face, haircut and natural movement.
The service progresses in line with the hair’s current resilience and the intended level of lift.
Warmth, coolness and the overall colour balance are assessed against the finished lightness.
Home care and any future refresh are discussed according to the achieved tone and hair condition.
There is no single duration that fits every balayage service. Length, density, previous colour and the target tone all affect timing; an estimate is shared after assessment.
Washing and heat habits, together with the chosen tone, influence the care plan. Home care and possible tone refreshes are explained individually after the service.
If the hair’s history or resilience does not support the target in one visit, the work may be staged or a safer alternative may be recommended.
It may suit those who want dimension through the hair and controlled face-framing brightness while keeping natural depth at the root. Previous colour history and hair resilience determine suitability.
Balayage places light directly according to the hair’s movement. Airtouch uses airflow to support sectioning and aims for a finer distribution. Assessment determines which approach is more suitable.
There is no single fixed duration. Hair length, density, previous services, current tone and the intended result all affect timing; an estimate is shared after the hair assessment.
Suitability can only be decided after reviewing colour history and hair resilience. Some hair may require a staged approach or a different plan.
Care guidance is tailored to the achieved tone, hair structure, washing frequency and heat habits. The need for a future tone refresh is also assessed individually.
This cannot be guaranteed in advance. Existing colour layers, hair resilience and the target tone determine whether one visit is appropriate; a more controlled staged plan may be advised.
A joined-up salon plan for cutting, colour and care rather than isolated services.
Length or density planned in relation to the structure and condition of the existing hair.
A measured route for previous colour and uneven lift, guided by what the hair can safely support.
