Balayage vs Highlights vs Babylights: Which Coloring Technique is Right for You?

At Salon 3636 in Westlake Hills, we believe that great hair is more than just a service—it's an art form, a science, and a personal journey all rolled into one. Our master stylists bring decades of combined experience to every consultation, ensuring that each client leaves with more than just beautiful hair.

The Art and Science

Balayage isn't just a technique; it's a philosophy of natural beauty. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage involves hand-painting color directly onto the hair, creating a sun-kissed effect that grows out beautifully. This French technique has revolutionized the way we approach hair color, offering a low-maintenance solution that looks effortlessly chic.Color psychology goes deeper than simple aesthetics. The shades we choose can influence how others perceive us and how we feel about ourselves. Whether you're drawn to bold statements or subtle enhancements, understanding the psychology behind your color choices can help you make decisions that align with your personal and professional goals.
