Full Head Balayage is one of the most requested techniques for creating soft, dimensional colour with a natural finish. This service offers a complete, hand-painted transformation, with lighter tones seamlessly blended throughout the entire head of hair—resulting in a radiant, sun-kissed effect that grows out beautifully.
Who is Full Head Balayage for?
This service is perfect for women who want a noticeable colour refresh without frequent root maintenance. It’s especially suited to those looking to brighten their overall appearance or transition into lighter shades gradually. Whether you have brunette, blonde, or dark blonde hair, this technique can be tailored to create a harmonious, polished look that flatters your natural colouring.

How long does the appointment take?
Full Head Balayage typically takes between 3.5 to 4.5 hours, depending on hair length, thickness, and any additional services such as glossing or treatments. This includes consultation, lightening, toning, a deep conditioning treatment, and a professional blow-dry.
What is the process?
Your stylist will begin with a personalised consultation to understand your goals and create a bespoke colour plan. The balayage is applied freehand across the full head, allowing for a soft, graduated lift from root to tip. Once the lightener has developed, your hair may require an optional toner to achieve the perfect shade, and often a nourishing mask and styled finish.
How often is maintenance required?
One of the key benefits of balayage is its soft regrowth. Most clients return every 10 to 12 weeks for a refresh, though some extend further depending on how their colour settles. A gloss or toner between appointments can help maintain vibrancy.
At The Vintage Avenue, we prioritise your hair’s health while achieving refined, natural-looking colour. Our stylists use premium products and techniques to ensure long-lasting, elegant results.

Loved having my hair done by Syd. I have wavy hair so wanted a cut that suited both straight & wavy hair. Turned out perfect.

Chloe has been my colourist for years, and I never knew it was possible to have the perfect hair experience every single time! She understands not just my hair, but my lifestyle too. I always leave with a smile and a bounce in my step. ☺️
