Half Head Balayage

What's Included

A tailored colour service focused on luminous, low-maintenance lift.

• Personal consultation to understand your goals, hair history and maintenance preferences.
• Strategic colour mapping through the crown, parting and face frame.
• Freehand painting for soft lift and seamless blending.
• Optional micro-highlights to add extra brightness where needed.
• Toner gloss to refine shade, enhance shine and seal the blend.
• Root smudge or melt to soften regrowth for a natural finish.
• Protective care and bond support used where appropriate.
• Professional blow-dry and style to reveal tone and placement.

Who It's For

If you want to look brighter around the face and through the top without a major overhaul, this service is for you. It suits clients who prefer a natural finish and a colour that grows out softly between appointments.

It works beautifully on blondes, brunettes and redheads, and on fine, medium or thick hair, straight or curly. It is also a smart first step if you are easing into lightening from a darker shade.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow around 45 to 60 minutes for consultation, colour placement, glossing and finish. First-time clients may need a touch longer for mapping and shade testing.

If you plan to add a haircut or extra lightening, your appointment time will be extended to suit so we can refine the result without rushing.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use sulphate-free shampoo, a nourishing conditioner and heat protection every time you style. A weekly hydrating mask will help keep the cuticle smooth and luminous.

Plan a toner gloss and face-frame refresh every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain tone and shine. Full half head balayage top-ups are typically 10 to 14 weeks, depending on your hair and desired brightness.

Blondes can use a violet or blue shampoo once a week to control warmth, while deeper tones benefit from colour-safe, shine-enhancing care. Minimise chlorine and UV exposure or protect hair with a leave-in.
