At Zandon SP Hair Salon, our Balayage service is all about creating that naturally sun-kissed, low-maintenance look loved by celebrities and trendsetters worldwide. Originating from France, the term “balayage” means “to sweep” or “to paint,” and that’s exactly how we achieve the soft, dimensional highlights that blend seamlessly with your base color.
Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage is a freehand technique where color is painted directly onto the hair in sweeping motions. This allows for a more natural, graduated effect with no harsh lines. It grows out beautifully, making it perfect for clients who want a stunning look without frequent salon visits.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to determine:
The level of lightness you’d like to achieve
Whether you want a subtle glow or high-contrast drama
Your hair’s current color, condition, and history
Your skin tone and style preferences
Our stylists then create a bespoke balayage pattern, carefully considering placement so that the highlights enhance your facial features and give your hair movement and dimension.
Low Maintenance – Soft regrowth lines mean fewer touch-ups.
Customizable – From barely-there caramel tones to bold, blonde ribbons, it’s tailored to you.
Universal Appeal – Works for all hair colors, lengths, and textures.
Healthy-Looking Hair – Since lightener isn’t applied to every strand, your hair retains more of its natural health.
Our conditioner-based semi-permanent dyes do not damage your hair but are nourishing and can help you fix some of the bleach damage as well. They simply deposit on your hair and fade slowly with each wash leaving behind colorful and conditioned hair.
After you color your hair, wait for at least 24 hours before shampooing your hair. However, you may rinse it off immediately with the Color Care Conditioner.
Allow the first color to fade off before refreshing it or applying a different color. It ideally takes 8-10 washes for the color to fade off. You can color your hair again after 1 month
Yes! You can pre-lighten your hair and allow it to air-dry. Post that you can go ahead with applying the color to your hair.
