When you look at celebrities on the red carpet or scrolling through Instagram, there’s a reason almost all of them choose balayage. It’s not just a trend, it’s because custom balayage creates that high-end dimension that looks incredible in any light.
For this rich “Barry blonde,” it was all about strategic placement. If you swipe to the last photo, you’ll see where we started.
To build deep dimension, I teased the hair and did a balayage with foils, then hand-painted the rest of the ends to give them a smooth, seamless finish.
I took thicker sections to really pop the color, brightening up the face-framing pieces for extra radiance while intentionally leaving some natural roots show through for that lived-in depth.
