Highlights & balayage in St Kilda, at a glance

Foils, babylights and balayage are different techniques for different results, and the maintenance they need varies enormously. Deciding how often you are willing to sit in a chair is as important as choosing the shade.

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.
