What to look for

  • Balayage grows out softly and can be left for three to four months. Foils give more lift but show regrowth sooner.
  • Ask to see work on hair that started the same colour as yours, not just the finished blondes.

How much do highlights and balayage cost in Australia? Half of what Australian businesses publish sits between $130 and $280.
