Balayage is lightener painted on by hand rather than placed in foils, which is why it grows out softly and why results vary so much between colourists. It is a freehand skill, so the work you can see matters more than the name on the menu.
How much do highlights and balayage cost in Australia? Half of what Australian businesses publish sits between $130 and $280.
Ordered by how well each one fits a typical balayage specialist request here — not by advertising spend, and not purely by rating.
