Balayage is the ultimate ‘your hair only better’ colour. It’s hand-painted, personalised, and designed to grow out softly so your colour stays gorgeous for months.
Whether you want a soft sun-kissed glow, brighter face-framing pieces, or something bolder and more creative, our colour specialists will create a look that flatters your features, complements your haircut, and works with your natural hair movement.
Every balayage we create is bespoke – no two placements are ever the same. Your stylist will tailor the brightness, tone, and blend to suit your skin tone, lifestyle and the amount of maintenance you’re happy with.
Price on consultation based on your hair length, thickness and type of balayage.
Balayage has evolved far beyond the classic blondes. Some of the most requested colours in our Luton and Ampthill salons include:
Often called a money piece, lighter pieces around the face can brighten your whole complexion and enhances your features.

Root stretches and root drags for a soft blend from your natural root into lighter mids and ends. The ultimate low-maintenance colour.
A seamless transition between shades for depth, dimension and an expensive finish.
Hand-painted panels of vivid, pastel or high-contrast tones for those who love something more expressive.
Whichever look you choose, your colour will be tailored for maximum blend, softness and longevity

Not at all. One of the reasons balayage is so popular is because it grows out beautifully. Most clients refresh their colour every 8–16 weeks. Your stylist may recommend a toner in between colour services to keep the tone cool or bright.
Balayage is hand-painted for a soft, seamless blend. Ombré is a more defined transition from darker roots to lighter ends. Both can be natural or bold – it just depends on your style.
Absolutely. Balayage isn’t just natural blondes – it works beautifully with vivid shades, pastel blends, deeper coppers, and high-contrast panels. If you want something bolder, we’ll create a personalised creative balayage that still grows out softly.
