What is Reverse Balayage?
Reverse Balayage is the opposite of traditional Balayage. Instead of lightening hair, it introduces darker tones and lowlights through the mid-lengths and ends while leaving the roots lighter. The result is a soft, dimensional look with a natural, lived-in feel.
By creating shadows and contrast, Reverse Balayage adds movement and texture to the hair. A shadow root is often blended into the colour, making the overall look more seamless and helping to extend the time between touch-ups.

How Does it Work?
- Creating depth and dimension: Darker shades are hand-painted onto the hair to add richness and texture.
- Shadow root blending: A shadow root helps merge lowlights with natural regrowth for an effortless finish.
- Lowlights for balance: From subtle partial lowlights to full lowlights, the service can be tailored to your desired look.
Our stylists at The Pamper Suite use AVEDA Full Spectrum colour, demi-permanent glosses and toners to personalise every detail, ensuring your colour suits your features, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
The Benefits of Reverse Balayage
- Low maintenance: The shadow root softens regrowth, reducing the need for frequent salon visits.
- Natural and lived-in: Creates a soft, blended effect rather than stark contrast.
- Adds dimension to blonde: Rebalances overly lightened hair with richness and depth.
- Less damaging: Especially on previously lightened hair, it’s gentler than repeated highlights.
Who is it For?
- Blondes looking to add warmth or transition into a deeper tone for a new season.
- Clients seeking low-maintenance colour with longer gaps between appointments.
- Brunettes wanting added depth and richness to prevent flat or one-dimensional colour.
