Balayage or highlights: which one to book

The difference is less about the look and more about how often you want to come back.

Highlights start right at the root, so the result is brighter but regrowth shows in six to eight weeks.

Balayage is painted by hand and blends into your own colour, so it grows out without a line.

Not sure? Book a consultation — we often combine both: a few fine foils around the face, balayage elsewhere.
