“We want each and every client to have the best salon experience.” ~ Gabriel Abrams, Founder
What is Balayage?
Balayage is a freehand hair coloring technique where color is painted directly onto the hair rather than applied with foils. The word “balayage” comes from French and means “to sweep.”
Your colorist sweeps lighter tones through sections of your hair to create a soft, blended result that looks like natural sun-kissed highlights.
Because balayage is hand-painted, no two results are the same. Your colorist can customize the placement, tone, and intensity to match your hair type, skin tone, and personal style.
What Does Balayage Look Like?
Balayage creates a gradual transition from your natural color at the roots to lighter tones at the ends. Popular looks include:
Subtle balayage — a few shades lighter for a barely-there effect
Bold balayage — bigger contrast for a more dramatic result
Caramel balayage — warm golden tones on brunette hair
Ash balayage — cool, smoky tones on medium to dark hair

How Balayage Works at Numi Hair
Here’s what to expect during your appointment:
Consultation — Your colorist starts with a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and hair history.
Color Application — Your colorist hand-paints lightener onto selected sections, fully customized to frame your face.
Processing — The color develops while you relax. Timing depends on your starting color.
Toning & Finishing — A glaze or toner refines the shade. A blowout finishes the look.
Most appointments take 2 to 3 hours, depending on hair length.
Who Is Balayage Best For?
Balayage works on almost every hair type, length, and color. It’s a great choice if you want:
- A natural, lived-in look with soft dimension
- Low-maintenance color that doesn’t need touch-ups every 4-6 weeks
- A softer alternative to full highlights or partial highlights
Pairs well with Olaplex or K18 for hair health during the process.
Balayage vs Highlights vs Ombré
| TECHNIQUE | APPLICATION | RESULTS | MAINTENANCE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balayage | Hand-painted | Soft, blended gradient | Low (3-4 months) |
| Highlights | Foils | Even all-over brightness | Medium (6-8 weeks) |
| Ombré | Graduated | Bold dark-to-light shift | Low (3-4 months) |
Many clients combine techniques — like balayage with face frame highlights for brightness around the face.
Balayage Pricing
Balayage at Numi Hair starts at $250+. Final pricing depends on hair length, thickness, and how much lightening is needed.
Your appointment includes consultation, custom color application, toning, and blowout finish.
We recommend adding an Olaplex treatment ($25+) or a K18 treatment ($20) to protect your hair during the process.
To maintain your balayage between visits, our team recommends professional products from Kerastase and Oribe.
