Balayage

If your balayage is due for a refresh or you're ready for a subtle change, our customised colour services are designed to revive and maintain your look beautifully. To keep your balayage soft, dimensional, and seamless, we recommend scheduling touch-up appointments every 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your hair's needs and your desired level of maintenance. Our stylists will provide expert guidance on how to care for your balayage at home, including recommending colour-safe shampoos, conditioners, and treatments to protect your colour and keep your hair healthy. Regular in-salon treatments can further enhance shine, vibrancy, and strength, helping your balayage stay salon-fresh for longer. With the right professional care and at-home routine, your balayage will continue to look effortlessly beautiful between visits.

How soon can I wash my hair after a balayage treatment?

It’s best to wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair to allow the colour and toner to fully set. However, please note the more you wash the more the toner fades.

What kind of shampoo and conditioner should I use?

Use sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoos and conditioners specifically designed to protect both blonde and toned hair. These products help maintain vibrancy and prevent fading of tints and colours.

How often should I wash my balayage hair?

Washing your hair once per week is ideal to preserve your colour and keep hair hydrated without stripping natural oils.

Can I use heat styling tools on balayage hair?

Yes, but always use a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield your hair from heat damage and help maintain colour integrity.

How do I maintain the brightness of blonde highlights without brassiness?

Using a purple or blue shampoo once or twice a week helps neutralise warm or brassy tones, keeping your blonde highlights fresh and bright.

Should I be concerned about colour fading on toned or tinted sections?

Yes, toners and tints can fade faster than natural hair colours. Use gentle, colour-safe products and avoid excessive sun exposure to prolong their vibrancy.

How can I protect my balayage from environmental damage?

UV rays, chlorine, and saltwater can cause fading and dryness. Protect your hair by wearing hats, applying UV-protectant sprays, and rinsing your hair immediately after swimming.

How often should I come in for balayage touch-ups or toning?

Balayage touch-ups are typically recommended every 8 to 12 weeks, while toning treatments may be needed more frequently to maintain the desired shade and brightness.

What at-home treatments can help keep my balayage healthy?

Regular deep conditioning and hydrating masks help restore moisture and strength, keeping your hair soft and resilient.

Can I colour or tone my balayage at home?

It’s best to consult your stylist before attempting any colour or toner application at home to avoid uneven results or damage.
