Add depth, brightness, and effortless dimension to your long hair with expertly blended balayage—customised to flatter your features and lifestyle.
What Is Balayage for Longer Hair?
Balayage is a freehand hair colouring technique where colour is painted onto the hair to create a soft, sun-kissed effect with a seamless blend. It’s known for its natural-looking finish and softer regrowth, making it a low-maintenance alternative to traditional foil highlights.
At Baileys Hairdressing in Grantham, our balayage service for longer hair is carefully customised to suit your cut, natural colour, and personal style. The added length gives us more room to create contrast and dimension for a high-impact yet beautifully subtle result.
Who Is It For?
This service is perfect for clients with longer hair—typically below shoulder length—who want a multi-dimensional, natural-looking colour. Whether you want to brighten up brunette hair with warm caramel tones, add honey tones to dark blonde, or go brighter with icy ends, balayage is fully adaptable to your hair type and tone.
More information
Balayage is ideal if you’re looking for a style that grows out gracefully, meaning fewer trips to the salon while still looking fresh and polished.
How Long Does It Take?
Balayage on longer hair generally takes around 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The timing depends on your hair’s thickness, length, and the level of lift or lightness you’re after. The service includes consultation, lightening, toning, and a luxurious wash and condition.
We strongly recommend adding a Cut and Blow-Dry or Blow-Dry Finish to complete the look.
What’s the Process?
The process starts with a detailed consultation where we assess your hair and discuss your desired outcome. Lightener is then hand-painted onto the surface of the hair to create a natural, gradual transition. Once the colour lifts, we apply a toner to perfect the tone—whether you want cool ash, golden warmth, or beige blonde.
Your service ends with a professional wash, condition, and optional style finish.
How Often Should You Book?
A full balayage for longer hair typically lasts 3 to 4 months, with minimal root upkeep. To keep the tone looking fresh, we recommend booking a toner and gloss appointment every 6 to 8 weeks.
