Unleash Your Inner Luminosity

If your brunette hair color needs a helping hand, we can create the beautiful sun-kissed color you've been longing for. So brown-haired beauties, listen up! The quest for the perfect highlight technique for brunette hair has led us to an epic showdown: balayage versus foil highlights. Both methods promise to add dimension and light to your brunette mane, but which one truly takes the crown? Let's uncover the secrets that will help you achieve your dream look.

Foil Highlights for Precision

Traditional foil highlights have been a go-to technique for decades, and for good reason. This method involves weaving sections of hair and applying lightener for a more structured look. But how does it fare on brunette hair?

  • Contrast: Highlights can create a bold, eye-catching effect against a dark base.
  • Versatility: From subtle babylights to chunky streaks, highlights offer a wide range of looks.
  • Placement: Ideal for targeting specific areas, like framing the face or adding volume to the crown.

One of our brunette clients was quite impressed when she finally tried foil highlights for the first time, "This gave me the boost of brightness I needed and my hair definitely has more volume now."

Balayage for Subtlety

Imagine an artist painting rays of sunlight onto your hair. That's the essence of the French balayage technique. But what makes it so special for brunette hair?

  • Contrast: Balayage creates a soft sun-kissed effect that is very natural looking.
  • Versatility: The gradual blend from darker to lighter shades means less noticeable regrowth, allowing for longer intervals between salon visits.
  • Placement: Your stylist can tailor the placement and intensity of lightened sections to flatter your features.

A recent brunette client said it best when she tried balayage, "It's like I have a natural glow now. I look more radiant in photos!" We're pretty sure your new look will have your friends asking who does your hair?

Face Framing Foils

Not sure whether you are ready to go for a complete balayage or highlighted look? Then why not flirt with a little face-framing which can visually contour your facial features. By playing with color and placement, we can make a narrow face look a little wider, or make a rounder face look slimmer.

Balayage vs Highlights, which one should I try?

Don't know which one to choose? Consider these factors:

  • Effect: Do you want a soft, blended look (balayage) or more defined pieces (highlights)?
  • Maintenance: Are you willing to commit to regular touch-ups (highlights), or do you prefer a more low-key approach (balayage)?
  • Brightness: Balayage typically results in a more subtle lift, while highlights can achieve a more dramatic lightening effect.

We've seen countless brunette clients transformed by both balayage and foil highlights. The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your perfect technique depends on your personal style. For some clients, we go with a hybrid approach, combining the natural look of balayage with the precision and pop of foil highlights around the face.
