Ultimate Balayage: From Highlights to Colour Melts and Everything In Between
At Martin and Phelps Hair Salon in Cheltenham, our team of hair colour specialists excels in creating stunning colour transformations. We offer a wide range of techniques and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every shade of blonde, brunette, and redhead leaves with a vibrant, personalised look.
Balayage remains a popular hair colour trend and is the most requested hair colour technique at our Cheltenham hair salon. This versatile technique, renowned for its natural, sun-kissed appearance, has evolved into a term encompassing various colouring methods, each yielding unique and beautiful outcomes. Within the balayage family, you'll find techniques such as hair contouring, colour melts, root stretching, highlights and lowlights, the money piece, and face frame colour, among others.
Please note: We require all clients to undergo a quick and simple colour sensitivity test at least 48 hours before any hair colour application.
Your Handy Guide to Balayage
Colour Melts: For a soft, seamless blend of colours, colour melts are ideal. This method transitions multiple shades smoothly, creating a rich, multi-dimensional effect that appears effortlessly chic.
Root Stretching: Perfect for those preferring low-maintenance styles, root stretching blends the root colour into the mid-lengths and ends, reducing the stark contrast as your hair grows. This technique ensures a natural grow-out phase, extending the time between salon visits.
Highlights & Lowlights: These classic techniques add depth and dimension to your hair. Highlights brighten and lift your overall look, while lowlights add richness and contrast. Together, they create a dynamic, multi-faceted effect that enhances your balayage.
Money Piece and Face Framing: The money piece involves placing bold, face-framing highlights at the front of your hair to brighten and accentuate your features. Face frame colour similarly focuses on the hair around your face, adding lightness and dimension where it matters most.
Balayage: Balayage is a modern highlighting technique where colour is applied to your hair to create bespoke results. It derives from the French word ‘to sweep’ and allows your colourist to place face-framing highlights in foil or use a freehand technique to deliver a hair colour that is perfectly tailored to you.
