Balayage
Balayage has become one of the most requested colour techniques at our Mayfair salon.
When it is done well, it is one of the most flattering and lowest-maintenance colour results available. When it is not, it can look uneven, over-lightened or flat. The difference is almost entirely in the hand that applies it.
Our balayage specialists are trained personally by Jo Hansford and have years of experience working with every hair type, base colour and skin tone. The results we aim for are the same in every case: colour that looks as though it belongs to your hair, not colour that has been applied to it.
Balayage is a bespoke, freehand hair colouring technique where colour is painted directly onto the hair to create a soft, natural-looking finish. The term comes from the French word meaning “to sweep,” describing the gentle motion used to apply colour through the mid-lengths and ends for a beautifully blended, sun-kissed effect.
While balayage is traditionally created using a freehand application, it can also be enhanced with foils to achieve additional lift, brightness, or more defined dimension. This makes it a highly versatile colouring service that can be tailored to suit your hair type, desired look, and maintenance preferences.
Perfect for clients seeking low-maintenance colour with seamless regrowth, balayage delivers natural depth, movement, and shine. Whether you are looking for subtle balayage or a brighter transformation, our expert colourists will create a personalised balayage that complements your complexion and style.
