BALAYAGE AMSTERDAM

Blond French Balayage

The great thing today is that we know everything that happens around the world. What are the latest hair trends. The trend is French and we love that because our roots are in Paris.

What differs in trends is the techniques we use. The color specialists at Pierôt specialize in all French Blond techniques because we follow L’Oréal training internationally and work with the best hairdressers in the world. First we equalize the highlights with a root shade and then use the Gloss or toners.

What is Balayage

Think of it as the most casual form of highlighting: BALAYAGE! This French technique dates from the seventies and gives a beautiful, natural look. Balayage looks easier than you think. Our hairdressers create beautiful soft color nuances through sweeping and blending techniques with bleaching and toners.

Balayage is a real salon classic, but that doesn’t make this hairstyle any less interesting. Balayage is no longer a trend, it is a way of coloring in which we seamlessly blend colors from dark to light.

The reason this trend has been around for so long is that the color grows out gradually with a soft overflow. It is a low maintenance look that won’t leave you rushing back to the salon for a touch up every few weeks. Unlike, for example, a coupe soleil which does growth out visibly. Nowadays, there is a lot of mixing and matching going on. Balayages are alternated with babylights. Balayage has become a classic hairdressing treatment.

Balayage is derived from the French word Balai, which means broom. We use a special non-staining blonde powder to sweep soft streaks through the hair, creating a natural sun-kissed effect. This hair painting technique can be applied with multiple shades, so that light and dark strokes ensure a vibrant result.

 

WHICH COLOR BALAYAGE

The balayage technique works with different colors, creating a subtle ombre effect in highlights. First, we set the highlights and color them with a gloss toner. As a result, your hair with balayage looks much less dyed compared to a regular coupe soleil. This is because all the shades we use in your hair blend perfectly. Balayage, therefore, looks very natural and you no longer have to worry about outgrowth.

With a balayage you can vary a lot with color. The coloring technique can be applied to brown, black, blond and red hair.

During each visit, we will discuss the options. With our creative approach, we can update or recreate color: re-color or re-create. In our salons we give you extensive color advice, to help you choose the right color for you. We create custom hairstyles and colors that not only match your hair type and skin tone but are also “on trend”.

We advise not to have a balayage set very often. Around two to four times a year should be enough. More often would not be good for your hair. It depends on the effect you want to achieve. If you need a touch-up, you can, for example, update the hair that frames your face. This way you look wonderful again.

What are toners, and why are they used in combination with balayage?

Your Subtitle Goes Here
L

Toners are intended to color the bleached hair, the main color of blond is light yellow, and using a toner these pigments are neutralized and the hair colored.

A toner finishes the color, gives it a shine and nutrition. We recommend maintaining the toner at home with a silver shampoo.

What is the difference between a Balayage and a Foilage?

L

The classic balayage is a freehand technique in which we apply non-smudging blonding agent to the hair. The intensity of the bleaching is therefore less. By using the balayage with foils we get more clarity and we achieve a blonder result.

How do I keep my hair healthy during, and after coloring?

Your Subtitle Goes Here

Olaplex and Smartbond are great products that we use to protect your hair during the coloring process, or as aftercare for your hair. Some people prefer to use Olaplex just in their highlights because that is the treatment that damages the hair the most.

For those customers who take very good care of their hair, we have an Olaplex double shot. Each shot costs €15,50. If you want to finish with an Olaplex toner, the costs are € 31.

Is bleaching bad for my hair?

Your Subtitle Goes Here
L

Although most coloring products are less harmful than they used to be, you need to remain careful when you go for a new color. The hair fibers are affected especially when the hair is bleached. We work with L’Oréal Professionnel Smartbond especially to combat this.

 

Here’s the thing: Your hair contains both strong bonds (sulfur bridges) and weak bonds (salt bridges). During coloring process, these compounds can seriously weaken or even break. Smartbond protects your hair and strengthens during coloring. Smartbond is added to the coloring or bleach to protect the hair connections. Then Smartbond is used as a pre-shampoo when the color is rinsed from your hair to restore the structure of the hair fiber. Step 3 is a conditioner that you use at home around once a week to maintain the caring effect of Smartbond.
