What is Balayage- The Hand-Painted Art

Balayage (pronounced "bah-lee-AHZH") , originating from the French term "to sweep" or "to paint," is an artistic hair coloring technique that involves skillfully hand-painting highlights onto the hair for a natural, sun-kissed appearance. The custom paint-strokes create natural-looking dimension and movement.There are many techniques we use to achieve the 2025 haircolor trends that are out there today. We combine the traditional foils, teasy-lights, babylights, tips-outs, and air-touch techniques to meet expectations of todays trends.

HERE ARE SOME BALAYAGE OPTIONS

“First time coming to Benji, was a lovely experience. He's very easy to talk to and didn't eject me from his chair when I came in with no idea what I wanted. Loved the conversation, quality of the cut and color! He's warm, knowledgable and relaxed. I have already had alot of compliments and my friends look forward to visiting Benji soon!."
