Half Head Balayage is the perfect colour service for those who want to enhance their natural tones with subtle brightness and soft dimension. Whether you’re new to balayage or maintaining an existing colour, this technique focuses on the crown and face-framing areas, creating a sun-kissed finish that feels elegant and modern without the full commitment of all-over lightening.
Who is Half Head Balayage for?
This service is especially popular among professional women who appreciate a polished, trend-led look with low maintenance. If you’re looking to refresh your colour, lift your overall tone, or add brightness to your hair without dramatically changing your base, Half Head Balayage offers a refined and sophisticated update. It’s ideal for those with previous balayage who want a tidy-up, or for anyone seeking a soft introduction to lightening techniques.
More information
How long does the appointment take?
Depending on your hair’s length, density, and current condition, this service typically takes around 3 to 4 hours. This includes a personalised consultation, hand-painted balayage application, processing time, toner, conditioning treatment, and a professional blow-dry finish.
What is the process?
Your stylist will begin with a tailored consultation to understand your goals and assess your hair. Balayage is then applied freehand to the upper sections of the hair, with a focus on areas that naturally catch the light—such as around the face and the crown. After processing, a toner is used to refine and customise the final tone. The service concludes with a luxurious conditioning treatment and expert blow-dry for a healthy, polished finish.
How often is maintenance required?
One of the advantages of balayage is its graceful grow-out. Because the colour is blended and not placed at the roots, it grows out softly without obvious lines. Most clients return every 10 to 12 weeks for a refresh, though timing can vary depending on hair goals and lifestyle.
At The Vintage Avenue, we specialise in colour techniques that complement your lifestyle and enhance your natural beauty. Our Half Head Balayage is thoughtfully designed to deliver radiant results with long-lasting ease.
