What Is the Difference Between Balayage and Highlights?
Freehand softness versus foil-flat consistency — and which one a growing-out client should book.
Read more →Techniques covers the physical craft: how you place colour, not what you mix. Balayage, foilyage, teasylights, root melts, shadow roots, babylights, slicing, weaving — each page explains what the method does to the final result, how long it takes, which hair types it flatters, and the mistakes that produce banding, bleed, or a root that drops hot.
We keep the comparison pages honest. A lot of salon arguments about technique are really arguments about time and price, and we say so rather than pretending one method is simply better.
Every page gives you a step sequence you can follow on the floor, the tools that make the sequence faster, and a link to the formula that pairs with it. Where a technique has a video, the video supplements the written answer — it never replaces it, so the page still works with the sound off and still reads correctly in a search result.
