In French, Balayage means "to sweep." A simple action in the traditional sense, but when applied to the hair, the motion can render dramatic results. A stylist takes a brush and "paints" a thick lightening solution onto a section of hair, creating different designs such as a "V". The technique is like the freeform jazz version of highlights, and as the business name suggests, it's the specialty at Balayage Hair Studio. Of course, the stylists at this Paul Mitchell Focus Salon can also add traditional color, snip stylish do's, or even apply artificial eyelashes. The team performs each service with enough warmth and friendliness to make Dr. Doom let his guard down and say nice things.
