We get asked this question a lot… What’s the difference between ombre and balayage?
To put it simply, ombre is a more bold, ‘dip dye’ kind of look; more colour through the ends of the hair and balayage is a softer, grown out highlight, sun kissed affect.
At Brandon May, we’ve been doing a lot of these lately, as you can see on our Instagram pictures. A lot of you have been recently leaning towards a lower-maintenance balayage, and you can choose a range of different colours to suit your skin tone.
We think the reason it’s so popular is that it’s a way for people to experiment with colour if they’ve never tried it and brunette’s can go lighter without the root upkeep and blondes can go a bit darker without having to lose that lightness that they love. It really is a trend for everyone; even some of our more mature guests have tried some subtle versions of this trend.
We constantly update our knowledge and skills to keep up with the latest ways of applying colour so we can give you guys the best colour possible, in a number of different techniques. So if you’d like to try either one of these fab colours then call in for a consultation!
