Balayage in Neutral Bay, at a glance
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.
- Most start between
- $38–$85
- Open past 7pm
- 18 of 30
What to look for
- Photos of balayage on hair that started close to your own colour and length.
- Ask whether they paint in the open air or inside foils. Foil-assisted balayage lifts brighter; open-air painting stays softer.
