Balayage Brilliance
All About Balayage at Our Top Canterbury Hairdressers
Dreaming of natural, sun-kissed hair that’s effortlessly beautiful and low-maintenance? It might be time to explore the world of balayage. Translating to "sweeping" in French, this technique involves our colour specialists in Canterbury hand-painting lighter shades onto the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. This mimics the sun’s natural lighting effect, giving you a radiant look that appears as though you've spent days relaxing by the beach.
Why do we love balayage so much? Besides being gorgeous and stylish, it’s incredibly easy to maintain, meaning you won’t need to schedule frequent colour touch-ups.

The Beautiful Art of Balayage
During this freehand colouring technique, our Canterbury colour specialists apply colour to the mid and lower sections of your hair using a brush, without the use of foil. This technique creates a soft, sun-kissed effect that seamlessly blends with your natural hair. Since the lighter shades begin further down, the top sections usually remain darker, giving your style enhanced depth and dimension.
Unlike traditional highlights that require touch-ups every 6-8 weeks to address regrowth, balayage is low-maintenance, allowing you to go months without needing a refresh as the darker roots are integral to the look.
At Blakes, our balayage experts personalise each style to suit your individual preferences. Balayage complements a wide palette of tones—from caramel and mocha hues to bright blonde and on-trend copper shades. If you’re unsure which shades best complement your features, we’re here to guide you with a complimentary colour consultation.

Balayage Maintenance Tips
Since balayage is so low maintenance, it's easy to keep your style looking fabulous. Simply follow these tips from our seasoned colour technicians.
Using the right products: Use salon-grade products designed for coloured hair and free from sulphates. Our Canterbury stylists can advise on the best products to keep your colour looking radiant. You can also add a deep conditioning treatment to your weekly routine to keep your locks hydrated.
Wash less frequently: Wash your hair every couple of days to prevent it from drying out and to ensure that your natural oils aren’t stripped away.
Avoid heat styling: Where possible, skip the heat styling and let your hair dry naturally. If you’re looking for a longer-lasting solution to banish frizz and achieve smoother, softer hair, consider a keratin hair smoothing treatment.
Treat yourself to a nourishing treatment: Hair treatments like OLAPLEX hair repair can keep your coloured hair looking and feeling healthy, strong, and revitalised. We can advise on the best treatments during your appointment.
