Fine Artistik Salon is known for being the Best Balayage Hair Color Salon NYC! So, what exactly is balayage and why do we love it? Balayage has been around for a while but this timeless technique is creeping its way back into being one of the most popular hair colour requests in salons today.

What is balayage? Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint. It allows for a sun-kissed natural looking hair colour – similar to what nature gives us as children – with softer,  less noticeable regrowth lines. The principal idea being less is more when creating soft, natural looks.

How is it applied? Balayage is applied on the surface and not saturated through the section until the very tips, otherwise you would have a streak of colour that isn’t vey soft at all. It can also be called a freehand technique because no foil or meche are used to create the highlights.

What sets it apart from traditional hair coloring? It’s totally bespoke to you! A good balayage expert will be able to place the colour to suit your skin tone so it’ll look amazing and really light up your features. But don’t get it confused with layage – a similar but more precise technique.

What’s making it so popular recently? It’s a skilled technique that hasn’t been widely taught in the UK until recently. Now it’s becoming better known because all the models and A-listers are wearing it. Clients are seeing it on the catwalks and red carpets and want to get that finish rather than the uniform highlights that foils give.

Does it require a lot of maintenance? Very little. It grows out beautifully and more naturally so you don’t get an obvious regrowth line and and can wear it for longer between appointments. All you really need to do is protect it as you would any other colour: use a colour protecting shampoo and conditioner regular treatments and heat protection when styling.

Is it suitable for all hair types/lengths? It works on both light and dark hair so anyone really. Both Rihanna and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are great examples of balayage poster girls. I’m currently doing a technique called ‘bronde’ popular amongst celebs such as Jessica Alba and Olivia Palermo. It’s the perfect combination of brown and blonde tones. Bronde is perfect for darker haired clients who want to try out a lighter color, it can be warm neutral or cool. The choice is really between you and your colourist. Balayage pretty much works for all lengths except very short cropped hair.

What makes it timeless? It’s low maintenance looks more bespoke more natural and is a modern technique that’s much more flattering. Healthy hair is attractive hair and that’ll never go out of fashion. Balayage gives a gorgeous healthy finish that looks nature-enhanced glossy and expensive. It can be natural or strong whatever you want it’s all about the application technique.

The process begins with a consultation by a stylist that specializes in Hair Extensions. At Fine Artistik Salon, our stylists are trained and certified by the manufacturer. During your consultation you will go over your expectations and decide how long your extensions will be how many packs of hair you will need and you will choose a color (or colors). Your hair extensions specialist will have samples of the hair in each color so you will be able to compare mix and match. You will be very impressed with the feel of the hair and the wide variety of colors available. It may be necessary to freshen up your color prior to your extension appointment. You can color your hair after the extensions are placed however, the less chemical processing done to extensions the better. At the beginning of your appointment your stylist will wash and dry your hair.

Best Ombre Balayage Highlights Salons NYC. Difference Between Ombre and Balayage!

Best Ombre Balayage Highlights Salons NYC. What are Ombre & Balayage Highlights?

Fine Artistik Salon is known for being the “Best Ombre Balayage Highlights Salons NYC”. We as hairstylists know the difference between an Ombre and a Balayage. But we get asked this question ALL THE TIME! Or we get an appointment request for an “ombre balayage” and we are over here thinking “Well, which one?!” So once again we are here to set the record straight and share with you the difference between the two styles.

best ombre balayage highlights salons nyc

Ombre is the “Style” – The word ombre comes from the French word “shadow”. Ombre is the actual style. It is the transition of a lighter shade from a darker shade. Generally, ombres work best on brunettes because it is the least subtle of all the techniques a sombre is what we would see on blondes. That technique is more subtle hence the word sombre. Ombre is great for the more daring girl it is definitely more noticeable. Ombre is kind of like color blocking there are no dark pieces left on the bottom to help keep it natural just a nice transition between the colors. While the ombre is a beautiful look it is also something that needs to be done right! A bad ombre can make all the difference and please don’t try to do it on your own! That’s the style called “Home-bre” and no one wants that!

Here are a few examples of some Ombre:

Balayage is the “Technique” – The two are very similar but there are very obvious distinctions between the two! The word “Balayage” comes from another French word meaning “to sweep”. Now if you have ever seen someone get a balayage in the salon this probably makes sense to you. When applying the color for a balayage you sweep the color through small triangle sections of the hair onto a board or foil giving it the natural transition down into the lighter color. In Balayage there are dark pieces left on the bottom to create dimension and a more natural look. This technique looks like natural sun-kissed highlights throughout the hair. The transition is more natural.

Here are a few examples of some Balayage:
