How we do Balayage | Blondhaus | Balayage Toronto
Blondhaus is a high-end salon in Toronto founded by Anna Gorodnicha, specializing in custom hair work and advanced techniques. Today, we will show you how we do balayage - a demanding technique with impressive results.
What is balayage?
The origin of the word Balayage has French roots. In French, it means "to smear". The essence of the technique is to move away from the classic foil methods and use a more "free" approach - direct application with a brush, which makes the color more natural - without strict transition lines. The tone seems to dissolve into the rest of the hair, creating a smooth gradient look that emphasizes the volume and depth of your hairstyle. The result is a fresh look that feels natural.

Unlike highlighting, balayage technique uses the freehand method. It is a more demanding technique, as the stylist decides where, how and how much color to apply. The goal is to recreate natural gradient transitions, and naturalize the look. A brush with soft edges is used to apply the color (to avoid specific boundaries of each strand, unlike highlights).
Dimensional Balayage Benefits of balayage
The main advantage of balayage is its appearance. A quality balayage is a luxurious but subtle look that will suit both an elegant appearance and a casual look. Also, the low-maintenance care is another plus - because of the naturalness and lack of delineation of the treated strands, your hair will look great both immediately after balayage and months later. Health - since the color is applied directly to the hair and not the scalp, you are less exposed to the chemicals.
Possible disadvantages of balayage
Although balayage is easy to maintain, a full balayage service can be more costly due to the level of skill and time involved in performing it. Specific price depends on quality and time required.Â
