Enhance your hair with a natural, sun-kissed look using our expertly applied balayage technique—tailored to suit your style and skin tone.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates a soft, blended colour effect—lighter towards the ends with a natural graduation from root to tip. Unlike traditional foils, balayage offers a more lived-in, sun-kissed look that grows out beautifully, making it ideal for clients who want a low-maintenance yet high-impact finish.
At Baileys Hairdressing in Grantham, our stylists use bespoke techniques to achieve depth, dimension, and subtle lightness that flatters your haircut, hair texture, and overall style.

Who Is It For?
Balayage is ideal for clients of all hair types and lengths, from brunettes looking for warm caramel tones to blondes wanting extra brightness and dimension. It’s especially popular with those wanting a softer regrowth and fewer salon visits, making it perfect for busy lifestyles or those new to colour.
Whether you want a subtle refresh or a more dramatic transformation, balayage is fully customisable to your personal preferences.
How Long Does It Take?
A balayage appointment typically takes between 2 and 3 hours, depending on your hair length, thickness, and the desired level of lightness. The service includes a consultation, lightening, toning, and a professional wash and condition. For best results, we recommend adding a Cut and Blow-Dry or Blow-Dry Finish.
What’s the Process?
Your stylist begins with a detailed consultation to understand your colour goals and advise on the best shades for your skin tone and hair condition. The lightener is painted freehand onto the hair in sections to create soft, seamless highlights. After processing, a toner is applied to perfect the tone and ensure a glossy finish. We finish with a condition and style to showcase your new look.
How Often Should You Book?
Balayage typically requires less upkeep than traditional highlights. We suggest refreshing the toner every 6 to 8 weeks and a full balayage top-up every 3 to 4 months, depending on your desired look and how quickly your hair grows.
