Balayage Hair Coloring Bergen County, NJ

Balayage isn’t a new technique, but its natural and timeless flair has been making a comeback. Hair salons everywhere are getting clients requesting balayage hair treatment. Here at Vlad’s Hair Studio we know all about balayage hair coloring in Bergen county New Jersey.

Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint.

It’s a subtle way to lighten hair for that timeless sun kissed look. With balayage, hair regrowth is less noticeable because it is meant to look natural and soft. In the grand scheme of hair design, balayage is on the subtler side but it is nonetheless a look we love

Unlike the more intensive hair color techniques, balayage is done by applying on the outer surface rather than through the entire section of hair. The saturation is gradual and isn’t fully saturated until the tips. This leaves a lovely, almost ombre look on the hair. Usually, balayage is a freehand technique.

Balayage is on the rise again because it works for virtually all complexions. A stylist who understands your hair and complexion will know exactly how to apply the best shade balayage to make it highlight your overall look.

Unlike most hair treatments, balayage is meant to look natural so regrowth doesn’t appear obvious or unkempt. Because of this you can go longer between touch ups, maybe once a month rather than every two weeks. As for standard home care, it’s the same as regular hair color—use protective shampoo formulated for color treated hair and avoid high heat when styling to prevent damage.
