FAQ

Balayage is a French highlighting technique that's the go-to for instantly chic hair. Balayage combines both expert placement and hand-painted brushstrokes for the ultimate customized color treatment. Creating depth and dimension, these highlights leave you with a sun-kissed finish that compliments a graceful grow-out.

At our Wellesley salon, our master colorists will apply highlights in a structured manner using foil. Balayage is a technique that sweeps color onto hair with brushstrokes. Highlights can be more visually intense while balayage can offer a softer, more subtle look.

The cost of balayage highlights varies depending on the length and thickness of your hair, the level of lightening desired, and the time required with your stylist. Because balayage is a customized hair coloring technique, pricing can vary from guest to guest. During your consultation at our Wellesley salon, your stylist will discuss the look you want to achieve and provide clear pricing before your balayage service begins.

When performed by an experienced colorist, balayage highlights are generally considered gentler than many traditional highlighting techniques. The color is applied by hand using a freehand painting method, which allows stylists to lighten specific sections of the hair without processing the entire head. At Bella Santé, our expert colorists focus on maintaining the health and integrity of your hair while creating soft, dimensional balayage highlights.

Balayage and traditional foil highlights both create beautiful results, but they produce different effects. Balayage offers a softer, more blended look with gradual lightness and fewer visible lines as the hair grows out. Traditional highlights typically create brighter, more defined pieces from root to tip. Your stylist will help you choose the technique that best matches your hair type, lifestyle, and the result you want to achieve.
