Glam Up With These Celeb-Inspired Balayage Hair Color Ideas

Balayage has been a staple look of the fashion Industry with luxurious sun-kissed highlights that are so well blended that they look perfectly natural. Skilled hair colorists can create a luminous and versatile result that elevates and accentuates your own look. We’re looking at three inspiring balayage styles championed by celebrities that might be right for you.

 

The Sun-kissed Balayage

The sun kissed balayage is perfect for looking like you’ve been basking in the golden illumination of a tropical beach. With warm and delicate highlights, these tones bring natural looking variations to your hair color. This hand painted technique creates a dimensional and flowing gradient to accentuate the natural glow of your hair. We’ve seen Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeny showcase this lived-in look with a beachy feel that perfectly compliments her breezy style. 

 

The Honey-Dipped Balayage

Brunettes rejoice at the honey-dipped balayage look which adds warmth and dimensionality flowing seamlessly from dark to light coloration. With honey and caramel tones, this sweetly soft blend creates impact without being too dramatic. We’ve seen Jessica Alba showing off the honey-dipped balayage which paints those alluring gilded tints into her dark brown locks with luminescent framing to compliment her complexion. 

 

Bold, Contrasting Balayage

If you’re ready to spill the tea with some hot hair drama, a high contrast balayage is a stunning way to go. With prominent contrast and accentuated dimension, this look is super bold and eye-catching while still blending naturally. Margot Robbie has championed this look with transitions from the dark roots to the light ends in audacious gradation. This look catches the light and captures the attention when you walk in the room.


 

Balayage can provide a transformative yet manageable look that keeps your hair looking fresh and fabulous. By working with our style professionals, you can use these three styles as a source of inspiration for creating something entirely your own. Whether you want the most dramatic effects or subtle sweeps, your natural beauty can be enhanced with balayage.

Balayage is a hair coloring process that is best performed with consultation and planning in order to achieve the most spectacular result. Your stylist will take your hair color, texture, and the overall health of your hair into consideration while they prepare your best look. Once the game plan is set, the hand painting process begins. In order to create this effect, every strand of hair is meticulously tended to create the perfect gradient for your chosen style of balayage. Your colorist will thoughtfully follow through the steps of lightening, processing for lift, rinsing, toning, washing, blow drying and final styling. Skill and attention to detail make all the difference with a process this complex, but the final look is worth the work.
