Balayage Highlights
Indulge is proud to feature Balayage Highlights, the French method of hand painting highlights onto dry hair. Inspired by your haircut and the shape of your head and face, our stylists create personalized patterns of color that accent your features in the most positive light. The highlights mimic the effects of natural sunlight. The results are extraordinary and a fabulous addition to any base color. Our technical process is very specific to the hair. What does this mean?
When I was taught from the best educators in the world this balayage technique, I actually had to hold my pinky finger up to have the exact angle to hold the brush and how to stroke the brush along the hair shaft (the outside layer of the hair). Different angles with the heaviness of the color or lightener can and will determine the type of brightness of the color. The technique Ombre’ is a similar technique only its positioned at the middle to the bottom of the hair which results in a lighter bottom than the top which is ultimately darker for this approach. Balayage is lighter at the top but doesn’t have the streaky effect of a foil highlight and does grow out naturally. Both of these techniques take precision and placement which you cannot get out of a box.
Our staff is trained to a high level of attention to detail in order to work with the hair and to determine where to place the color. Feel Free to call into the salon for a FREE consultation to discuss your faceshape, hair texture, and the look at that you desire to see if this technique is right for you. This look is especially beautiful on mid shoulder to longer lengths of hair.
Maintenance of balayage highlights is usually 3 – 4 times per year.
Balayage Bali
Are you a Bali girl? Gorgeous highlights applied for a sun-kissed look, Bali is great for dark blondes and brunettes that want to lighten their look just a bit for summer. Highlights that frame and brighten the face give a natural look. This is one of the techniques that we use for really dark hair giving a result in a carmel color.
Ombre Sardinia
Sardinia is an Ombre technique in the Balayage Copacabana Collection. Starting at mid-length the color gently transitions to more highlights at the hairs end. There is absolutely zero regrowth with Sardinia. Before we do any coloring, we will use a color chart to check your natural color shade to determine where to start and how light you should be with your skin tone.
Balayage Monaco
One of the most glamorous looks in the Copacabana Collection is Monaco with it’s golden highlights following the curve of the cut and framing the face for a gorgeous blonde. The natural base color can be a dark blonde with highlights either balayage highlights that are more natural looking, ombre’ is a pretty option that gives the hair more lightness on the mid length and ends.
Balayage Havana
Havana provides natural looking highlights on brown hair, providing just enough contrast in color to draw the eye in and keep things interesting.
Ombre Capri
Another Ombre technique included in the Copacaban Collection is Capri. With the lightest part of the highlight at the hair’s mid-length, this creates a dramatic and fun color contrast that looks sun-kissed.

Color to Last at Our Balayage Highlight Salon in York
When you choose a balayage color for your hair, the color is applied only from the middle to the ends. This means you won’t have any visible roots so the new color will blend in beautifully. There’s also no obvious regrowth this foilway either so no one will be able to tell when you’re due for a touch-up. Many balayage creations only need maintenance appointments 3 or 4 times a year so this color will help your bottom line while keeping you looking great. It’s no wonder so many people search ‘balayage hair stylist York’ when they’re looking for a new style.
Balayage works best on shoulder-length or longer hair to allow for a gradual contrast. As the top-grade human hair extensions we use can be colored, they can be fitted beforehand to provide the extra length and/or volume needed to make your balayage really pop. We can combine these techniques with a new cut to beautifully frame your face too and you’re sure to get many compliments when you leave our hair salon.
How the Balayage Technique is Different
Foils still have their place in the world of color, but you won’t see them anywhere in our balayage highlight salon. Balayage means ‘to sweep’ in French which describes how the color is applied. The color is applied freehand in a ‘sweeping’ motion. This gives incredible control to the colorist allowing them to lay down color only where they want it. This means a balayage can be personalized to best flatter your facial features and haircut, so they really are a color system for everyone.
Which Colors Work for Balayage
More or less any color works for a balayage creation which is another positive. Many customers have found us by searching ‘balayage hair York’. When they first started becoming popular, balayage creations were done to make hair look sun-kissed. A lighter color was used to complement the original hair color and mimic the bleaching effect of a lot of time spent out in the sun. Now balayage has been around a little longer, creativity has taken over and now there are many styles. You can have a balayage to add rich contrast to dark brown hair without having to risk the potential damage of lightening the hair. You could even choose a fun color such as pink if you don’t want to commit to coloring your whole head and worrying about roots. If you’re looking to change up gray hair, balayage is a great option too as the balayage technique can help break up the gray and the new color will draw the eye rather than the gray.
At Indulge Salon, we have a passion for taking on every new color challenge we can get our hands on and always keep up with training on the newest trends so you’re sure to be happy with the balayage we create for you at our balayage hair salon in York.
