How did you develop your Balayage technique?

I began learning Balayage 25 years ago after falling in love with the French technique. I studied my work and then created my own version.

 

Why would you choose Balayage over traditional highlights for a client? 

I think every client can have a version of Balayage. It is modern and allows the hairdresser to design custom pieces of highlights & lowlights.

 

How do you decide what products to use for Balayage?  

I choose based on texture and desired lift. I love to use Infinie Platine, Platinium, Majimèches, INOA, DIA Richesse and even occasionally Majirel.

 

Do you use the same formula consistency for each client? 

Hair texture determines my consistency of my formula.

 

Balayage highlights are hand-painted with the hair as a canvas to express your creative vision. It is a technique that cannot be achieved without the expertise of a salon professional. Only L’Oréal Professionnel offers the exclusive Balayage Expert Certification program, giving you the opportunity to become a true Balayage artist.

Balayage for Salon Professionals

What is Balayage?
Highlights that are hand-painted onto the hair for a natural-looking, sun-kissed effect.

 

What is the difference between Balayage and foil highlights?
The biggest difference is the result. Foils offer a more uniform, defined highlight. With Balayage, highlights are randomly placed for a more natural-looking effect.

 

Will Balayage highlights damage my hair?
L’Oréal Professionnel lightening products are developed with conditioning agents that leave your hair in great condition.

 

How much maintenance does Balayage require?
It varies by clients but many can go 3-4 months between appointments since your natural haircolor will blend in with your natural-looking painted highlights as it grows.

 

Is Balayage just for blondes?
No! Balayage is perfect for brunettes who want a subtle, sun-kissed effect. Ask for our Copacabana Brunette service specifically designed for brunettes!
