Spring is finally here, and we couldn’t be happier about it!
The changing of the season marks a fresh start, and also symbolizes growth and transformation. Because of this, spring is the perfect opportunity to blossom into your best self with a gorgeous new hairstyle. Not sure what look or hair trend is right for you this spring? We recommend trying either classic or reverse balayage.
Balayage is perfect for a new beginning because the results can range anywhere from sunkissed and subtle, to bold and dramatic. The colouring technique involves hand painting sections of hair to create striking, yet natural looking depth and dimension. It’s also a great way to transition to brighter or darker colours heading into the summer months. Now that you know what makes balayage so great, it’s time to decide between classic or reverse balayage.
Classic Balayage
If you’re wanting to go lighter, then classic balayage is right for you. Instead of highlights and foils, classic balayage is achieved by hand painting lighter tones directly onto your hair. Classic balayage can be done at our salons as partial, mini, or full head depending on how much brightness you want to add. Because the colour is applied from the middle of your hair downwards, this look requires less root upkeep than traditional highlights.
Reverse Balayage
Reverse balayage uses the same hand painted approach as classic balayage, but focuses on darker lowlights and undertones instead. This hair colour technique works to create contrast between strands and looks beautiful on both brunettes and blondes wanting to go darker. For an even bolder statement, consider adding a lighter, face-framing money-piece to really make the contrast pop.
