What's The Difference Between Balayage & Ombré?
Can’t keep up with the latest hairdressing lingo? Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to! That’s what our team are here for as we explain to you what all the new hairdressing slang and terms mean. A question that we get from clients a lot is what’s the difference between balayage and ombré?
These hair colouring techniques are similar because they both involve our colourists lovingly applying bespoke, hand-painted highlights to your hair. The difference comes in because balayage tends to create a more natural blended look as the colour becomes lighter towards the ends of your hair with the roots remaining a closer colour to your base shade.
The ombré technique creates a more noticeable gradient between the hair colours used and so this gives a bolder, two-toned hair colour effect.
