Frequently Asked Questions
What is balayage?
Balayage is a freehand colouring technique that creates soft, natural-looking dimension throughout the hair. Unlike traditional foils, balayage is painted onto the hair to create a seamless blend with softer regrowth. The result is a beautiful, lived-in look that grows out naturally and requires less frequent maintenance.
What’s the difference between balayage and foils?
While both techniques create lighter hair, they achieve different results. Foils generally produce a brighter, more even blonde from roots to ends, whereas balayage creates a softer, more natural finish with a seamless transition between your natural colour and lighter pieces. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the technique that best suits your desired look, hair type and maintenance preferences.
Is balayage suitable for all hair colours?
Yes. Balayage isn’t just for blondes. It can be customised for brunettes, redheads and darker hair colours to add beautiful dimension and movement. Every balayage is tailored to your natural colour, skin tone and personal style.
How often does balayage need to be maintained?
One of the biggest advantages of balayage is its low-maintenance nature. Most clients return every 3–6 months for another lightening service, depending on how bright they like their hair. Toners or gloss treatments may be recommended every 6–8 weeks to keep your colour looking fresh and vibrant.
Will balayage damage my hair?
When performed professionally and combined with the correct aftercare, balayage can be achieved while maintaining healthy-looking hair. At Chroma Hair & Co, we prioritise the condition of your hair by using premium professional products and tailoring every service to your hair’s health and history.
Can balayage cover grey hair?
Balayage can help soften the appearance of grey hair by blending it into lighter pieces, making regrowth less noticeable. However, if your goal is complete grey coverage, we may recommend a different colouring technique or combine balayage with other services. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best approach for your individual hair goals.
How long does a balayage appointment take?
Appointment times vary depending on your hair length, thickness and the result you’re hoping to achieve. Most balayage appointments take between 3 and 5 hours, including your consultation, colour application, toning, treatment and styling.
How much does balayage cost?
Every balayage service is customised to your hair, making pricing dependent on your hair length, thickness, previous colour history and desired result. We’ll provide a personalised quote during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
How do I keep my balayage looking fresh?
We recommend using salon-quality products designed for colour-treated hair, minimising excessive heat styling and attending toner or gloss appointments when recommended. We’ll also provide personalised aftercare advice to help keep your balayage looking beautiful between visits.
