What balayage is

Balayage is hand-painted, from the root to the very end of the hair. Instead of an even, foiled pattern, it gives you a softer, sun-kissed grow-out that's easy to live with.

Not sure it's the right choice? Tell Aprille how often you want to come in and how bright you like it, and you'll choose together.

B3 bond builder helps protect your hair's strength while it lightens. It is included, so there is nothing extra to ask for.
