What is Balayage?
The term “balayage” often causes confusion. Here is a brief explanation:
Balayage is the umbrella term for modern color gradients featuring soft, natural transitions. Different techniques are used depending on hair texture, the starting point, and the desired result.
Foilyage
The foilyage technique combines a gentle teasing method with foils. Controlled teasing creates exceptionally soft transitions, while the foils ensure intense, even lightening. It is perfect for anyone desiring a bright, radiant result that grows out naturally.
Airtouch
With the Airtouch technique, a hair dryer is used to blow the shorter hairs out of each strand. As a result, only the longer hairs are lightened, creating an exceptionally fine, natural color gradient. Airtouch is ideal for creating soft, luxurious blonde looks.
Reverse Balayage
Not every balayage treatment is about going lighter. With Reverse Balayage, darker shades are strategically incorporated into hair that has already been lightened or is naturally light. This restores depth, contrast, and dimension, giving the hair a more natural and vibrant look.
As balayage experts in Vienna, we work with you to determine the best technique for your hair and your desired result.
Balayage is more than blonde.
Many people automatically associate balayage with blonde hair, yet balayage refers to the technique itself, not the hair color.
A professional balayage allows for a wide variety of looks—ranging from natural “beach blonde” and cool blonde shades or soft caramel highlights to warm brown, copper, and chocolate tones, as well as creative fashion colors. Thanks to its soft color gradients, balayage is also an excellent choice for grey coverage: the roots are reliably covered, while the lengths and ends retain a natural, vibrant, and harmonious look.
Whether you are looking for a natural upgrade or a complete transformation, we will work together to create a look that suits you perfectly and that you will enjoy for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Balayage
Who is balayage suitable for?
Balayage is ideal for anyone looking for a soft color gradient that grows out harmoniously without creating a harsh root line. Generally suitable for hair chin-length or longer, the technique is customized to your hair texture, color, and desired look.
How often does a balayage need to be redone?
One of the biggest advantages of balayage is its longevity. A full balayage treatment is usually only required every 4 to 6 months. In the meantime, we recommend a Glossing to refresh the shine and color tone, or a Face Framing Refresh to touch up the strands around the face. This keeps your balayage looking fresh without needing to redo the entire technique.
Can balayage be done on hair that has already been colored?
Yes, balayage works beautifully on hair that has already been colored. We create a personalized color plan based on your starting hair color and the level of lightness you desire. Sometimes the desired look can be achieved in a single session, though more significant changes may require multiple appointments to lighten your hair gently.
Does balayage damage the hair?
A professionally executed balayage is particularly gentle, as only selected sections of hair are lightened. By using the right technique, high-quality products, and honest advice, we ensure your hair’s quality is preserved as best as possible.
How do I properly care for my balayage?
To keep your balayage looking radiant and beautiful for longer, we recommend high-quality care products designed for lightened hair. We particularly like using products from Schwarzkopf Professional, as they provide moisture, protect the hair structure, and maintain color vibrancy. We recommend regular intensive treatments and the use of heat protection when styling.
How long does a balayage take?
Depending on the starting point and the desired result, a balayage treatment takes an average of 3 to 4 hours. For particularly complex color changes or color corrections, the appointment may take longer.
How much does a balayage cost in Vienna?
Since every balayage is individually tailored, the price depends on your desired result as well as the materials and time required. You are welcome to book a consultation beforehand – this allows us to discuss your wishes and provide a transparent price estimate.
