Balayage or highlights?

Both add brightness and dimension, and they differ in where the color goes. Balayage is painted on by hand, sweeping color through the mid-lengths and ends so it melts into your natural root. It grows out gradually with no hard line, which is why many clients only return every three to four months.

Foil highlights are woven or sliced into foils from close to the root. They give more even, all-over brightness and more control, and are the better choice for bright blonde or for blending a lot of grey.

  • Choose balayage for a lived-in, sun-kissed look with low upkeep.
  • Choose full highlights for maximum, even brightness from the root.
  • Choose half-head highlights to brighten the part line and around the face between full appointments.
  • Choose a highlight and lowlight combo to add depth back into over-lightened hair.

Pricing

Balayage starts at $160. Full highlights start at $130, half-head highlights at $85, and highlight/lowlight combos at $120 (full) and $90 (half). Most blonding services finish with a toner, and Olaplex can be added to protect the hair while it lightens. Long or very thick hair needs more product and time, so your stylist will confirm the price at your consultation.

Aftercare and upkeep

  • Use a purple shampoo once a week if your blonde turns brassy, but not every wash.
  • A toner between appointments keeps blonde fresh without re-lightening.
  • Balayage clients typically return every 12 to 16 weeks; foil highlights every 6 to 10 weeks.
  • A Malibu C treatment removes hard-water minerals that dull blonde.
