Reverse Balayage
Reverse balayage works the opposite way to a classic balayage. Instead of lightening, your colourist hand-paints deeper, richer tones back into hair that has become too light, too uniform or too high maintenance. The result is natural-looking depth, softer contrast and a grow-out that no longer shows a hard line at the root.
It suits clients moving away from bright blonde, anyone whose highlights have built up over time, and anyone who wants a lower-maintenance colour for the colder months. Allow about two hours. Your price is confirmed at your complimentary consultation, because the result depends on your current colour, hair length and the depth you want.

Reverse Balayage or Classic Balayage?
Classic balayage lightens to add brightness. Reverse balayage adds depth back into hair that is already light. If you are not sure which you need, book a complimentary balayage consultation and your colourist will advise.
Price on Consultation
Because it is bespoke, reverse balayage is quoted at your complimentary consultation, which also includes the patch test. Call 01375 767 010 to arrange it.
