With a comprehensive range of techniques and a keen eye for detail, we cater to every shade of blonde, brunette and red head ensuring everyone leaves with a hair colour that looks vibrant and perfectly suited to their individual style.

Balayage has been a popular hair colour trend for quite some time now, and it continues to dominate. This versatile technique, known for its natural, sun-kissed finish, has evolved and now has become an umbrella term for a variety of colouring methods, each offering unique and beautiful results. Under the balayage umbrella, you’ll find techniques such as hair contouring, colour melts, root stretching, highlights and lowlights, the money piece, and face frame colour, to name a few.

Please note: We require our clients to undergo a quick and simple colour sensitivity test at least 48 hours prior to a colour application. Read our colour policy.

Discover Balayage: Your Handy Guide

Colour Melts: For those seeking a soft, seamless blend of colours, colour melts are the perfect choice. This method transitions multiple shades smoothly, creating a rich, multi-dimensional effect that looks effortlessly chic.

Root Stretching: Ideal for those who prefer a low-maintenance style, root stretching blends the root colour into the mid-lengths and ends, reducing the stark contrast as your hair grows. This technique ensures a natural grow-out phase and extends the time between salon visits.

Highlights & Lowlights: These classic techniques add depth and dimension to your hair. Highlights brighten and lift your overall look, while lowlights add richness and contrast. Together, they create a dynamic, multi-faceted effect that enhances your balayage.

Money Piece and Face Frame Colour: The money piece involves placing bold, face-framing highlights at the front of your hair to brighten and accentuate your features. Face frame colour similarly focuses on the hair around your face, adding lightness and dimension where it matters most.

Balayage: Balayage is a modern highlighting technique where colour is added to your hair to create bespoke results. It derives from the French word ‘to sweep’ and allows your colourist to place face framing highlights in foil or use a freehand technique to deliver a tailored hair colour.
