Balayage – sun-kissed, low-maintenance colour in Brighton
Want bright, natural-looking dimension without harsh lines? Balayage is a French freehand technique where we paint light exactly where it flatters you most. The blend is softer at the roots and brighter through the mid-lengths and ends, so the grow-out is seamless and easy to maintain.
Why clients love it
- Natural, multi-tonal effect that looks good in every light
- Softer regrowth than traditional foils, so appointments can be spaced out
- Bespoke placement to suit your face shape, haircut and lifestyle
- Works on all base colours, lengths and textures
More information
What to expect
- Consultation: We choose placement and tone (creamy blonde, beige, caramel, mocha, copper or bronde).
- Freehand lightening: Painted sections for brightness where you want it most, often with wrap or film for control.
- Tone & gloss: A toner perfects your shade and a gloss adds mirror-like shine.
- Timing: Please allow 2–4 hours, depending on starting colour, length and thickness.
- Location: Friendly Kemptown salon with easy links from Brighton Marina, North Laine and Hove.
Maintenance & home care
- Top up the face-frame or money-piece every 8–12 weeks; full refresh typically 12–20 weeks.
- Refresh tone with a gloss/toner every 6–8 weeks to keep brass at bay.
- Use bond care, sulphate-free shampoo, colour-safe conditioner and heat protection; rinse with lukewarm water.
Good to know A patch test is required 48 hours before colour services or if it has been more than six months since your last test.
