I am always asked by clients what exactly Balayage is! The word Balayage (ba·lay·age) Originates from the French word "Balayer" which means "to sweep." Balayage is a technique for highlighting the hair in which the color or lightener is painted on in such a way as to create a graduated, natural-looking effect. (For example, think of Victoria's Secret models and their highlights. They are not streaky or chunky. You can't always tell where they start because they are so blended and natural!) Balayage highlights are usually processed outside of a foil however foils or foil alternatives may be incorporated Into the process for many different reasons/effects. Plastic wrap is often used to help prevent the product from drying out. Balayage is an advanced technique that not all hairdressers can master. When done correctly, the results are truly beautiful.
