Balayage, one of the hottest trends in hair coloring today, is a technique that the colorists at Antonino Salon and Spa have been practicing for a few years.

A French word meaning to sweep or paint, “Balayage creates a sun-kissed look, similar to what nature gave us as children and creates a soft look with less noticeable new growth, allowing our clients to go longer between touch ups”, says Annette Abdelfatah, a Balayage expert at Antonino Salon and Spa in Birmingham, Michigan. “Each Balayage service is personalized and applied free-handed lightly on the surface of the hair until it reaches the tips, so along with looking natural, it accentuates a person’s best features and skin tone”.

To see if Balayage is right for you, call us at 248-258-5990 or request an appointment today to set up a complimentary consultation.

The stylists at Antonino Salon and Spa were treated to another advanced education seminar on August 19th.

This time it was to perfect the art of Balayage. This special hair coloring technique was designed to create very natural-looking highlights that grow out without a noticeable and obvious root. Meaning “to sweep” in French, balayage emerged in the 1970’s in Paris and has grown in popularity ever since.

When hair is colored using the balayage technique, highlights are painted on by hand in a sweeping motion that moves from the base of the head to the tip of the hair. At the base, hair color is applied very lightly, while at the tip, the color is applied heavily, creating a chunky highlight that looks naturally sun-kissed. The end result is a natural and beautiful color that has a diffused root line as it grows out, so roots are less noticeable and require less maintenance than traditional highlights.
