Air Touch Balayage At Top Northampton Hair Salon

Our colour specialists are highly trained and up-to-date with the latest techniques so it will come as no surprise to learn that we are achieving sensational results using Air Touch Balayage. With Air Touch Balayage, your G&E McIntyres colourist uses a blow dryer to push the shorter and internal hair layers down and out of the way so that colour can be applied on the remaining surface hair. The result is beautifully blended, natural-looking soft highlights that grow out perfectly without any harsh regrowth lines.

Why Is Balayage Hair Colour So Popular?

Balayage is one of the most popular hair colour techniques around, it not only creates a natural look but it’s also low maintenance compared with traditional highlighting methods. With traditional hair colour methods, such as foils, you tend to get a more noticeable root regrowth.

Our hair colour experts will work with your skin tone, hairstyle and natural hair growth patterns to create a beautiful hair colour that is tailored to you. Because the colour is painted on by hand, your G&E McIntyres colour expert can choose where best to place the highlights to complement your features and tones whilst looking completely natural – unless, of course, you opt for a vivid fashion colour balayage!

What’s The Difference Between Balayage, Ombré & Sombré?

Balayage is a subtly blended highlighting technique which grows gradually lighter towards the ends of the hair. There are many varieties of balayage including babylights, root stretching or colour melting.

Ombré is a more bold hair colouring technique with a marked contrast between the hair colours used as it graduates from darker roots to lighter ends. You can also try a reverse ombré, a popular technique where lighter roots graduate into darker hair colour at the ends.

Balayage and Ombré are quite similar and can be easily confused, which is why it is so important to have an in-depth colour consultation with one of our hair colour experts so we can help to decide which hair colour technique is the best for you.

Sombré is a popular, more subtle version of ombré. The appearance of darker roots is less harsh and the lighter hair colour melts into the darker tones. Sombré goes beyond balayage and works with multiple shades and tones throughout the hair to add dimension and texture to your hair colour.
