Balayage

Balayage is one of the most popular colour techniques, loved for its natural look and easy maintenance. At The Pamper Suite in Bexley, our stylists specialise in creating bespoke Balayage that suits your style, features, and lifestyle. From subtle face-framing highlights to a full transformation, every look is tailored to you. Unlike traditional foils, Balayage is painted freehand, giving soft blends with no harsh lines. The result is luminous, dimensional colour that grows out beautifully. We also offer Reverse Balayage, perfect for adding darker tones back into lightened hair for richness and balance. Every service begins with a consultation, patch test, and strand test so your colour plan is safe and completely personalised. Using AVEDA Full Spectrum colour and glossing products, we ensure stunning, healthy results that last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a patch test before Balayage?
Yes, a patch test is required before any Balayage or Reverse Balayage service at The Pamper Suite. This ensures your safety and helps us check for any sensitivities to hair colour. We also carry out a strand test so we can tailor your colour and give you a clear idea of how your hair will respond.
How long does a Balayage appointment take?
A full Balayage service, including toner, treatment, cut and blow dry, can take around 4 hours. Half or partial Balayage appointments are usually shorter. The exact timing depends on your hair type, colour history, and desired result, which will all be explained during your consultation.
How much does Balayage cost?
Prices vary depending on the service, with a full Balayage starting from around £151. Shorter or less involved services, such as partial Balayage or toners, are less. Your stylist will provide a full breakdown of costs at your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.
Is Balayage high maintenance?
Balayage is designed to be lower maintenance than traditional highlights. Because the colour is blended seamlessly, regrowth is softer and less noticeable, meaning you can leave longer between appointments. Many clients choose to maintain their look with regular toners or gloss treatments for shine and freshness.
What is the difference between Balayage and Reverse Balayage?
Balayage lightens the hair with soft, painted highlights for a sun-kissed effect. Reverse Balayage does the opposite, adding darker lowlights and depth to soften overly lightened hair or to create richness and balance. Both services are tailored to your desired look.
