  • What is balayage?
    Balayage is a hair coloring technique originating from France, where highlights are free-hand painted onto the hair, creating a soft and natural gradient of lightness towards the ends. This method mimics sun-kissed effects and complements various hair shades. It's gentle, handcrafted approach achieves a subtler, more gradual transition between colors compared to traditional highlighting methods.
  • How long does a full foil last?
    Typically, you can stretch the time between full foil appointments for six to ten weeks, influenced by your hair's natural growth and your desired appearance. This grants you the luxury of relishing your captivating, multi-dimensional highlights for an extended duration before the need for a touch-up arises.
