     Balayage is becoming a very popular color technique in salon.  With bayalage, you can create depth and dimension more than with typical foil techniques. Bayalage is a French word that means "sweeping" or "to sweep" and is named after the way the color is applied. It was developed in France in the 1970's and instead of using foils the stylist sweeps or paints the highlights or low-lights.
     The benefits of this technique is a sun-kissed  multidimensional look with more subtle grow out so it is also lower maintenance. Many different effects can be achieved based on personal preference. Clients can have anywhere from soft, subtle highlights to an edgy, strong look. To keep hair looking and feeling healthy, use salon quality shampoo, conditioner, and styling products like Aquage.
     All of the stylists at The Style Lounge are trained in and offer bayalage. To book an appointment or if you have any more questions about this technique, call us at (425) 358-7087.
