FOILYAGE HAIR COLOR​

​

The technique foilyage (or foilayage) comes from combining traditional foils and balayage effect. Traditional foils are applied in a pattern throughout the head, resulting in a consistent look with even color root to end.  Balayage on the other-hand is hand-painted highlights, resulting in a more natural, sun-kissed look.

Often, especially for dark hair, balayage won’t get as blonde as traditional foils. The other-hand method helps give clients the best of both worlds by combining the two techniques.

It’s perfect for clients who want those lighter blonde pieces throughout their hair while still having a natural, lived-in look. 

​

Foilyage can be performed by adding foils in the areas that the client hopes to be the lightest, then balayage in between those foils. Another way to achieve a beautiful foilyage look is to paint the hair like a traditional balayage then wrap the hair in foil or saran. This gives an overall lighter and more dramatic look. 

​

Both techniques are foilyage and your stylist will decide which is best based on the outcome desired.

 

Foilyage, balayage, baby-lights, highlights... all great depending on your hair and desired look. We recommend always talking with your stylist to help decide which technique is best for you, your hair and your look.
