Hon, if y'all have been a-buzzin' about the mysterious "b-word" takin' over salons and social media in recent years, don't you fret. Bless your heart, we've got you covered! Right here in Austin, where the sun kisses our hair just like our famous BBQ kisses our taste buds, we have the scoop on this breathtaking hair color technique called Balayage.

What is Balayage? A Taste of French Elegance in Austin's Best Hair Salon

Discovering the Balayage Boom in Austin's Premier Hair Styling Salon: BrAsh Haus Beauty is like uncovering a hidden gem. Balayage, darlin', is a hand-painted approach to highlights. No fuss with foils, caps, or guides—just pure artistry with a paintbrush.

Originally crafted by French hair colorists back in the '70s (a little before Austin's live music scene took off), Balayage means "to sweep" in French, which explains how the color is brushed on.

Picture this: An Austin sunset glowin' on your hair, brighter 'round your face and ends with blended roots. It's a beachy, natural look, reminiscent of sippin' iced tea by Lady Bird Lake.

What sets Balayage apart? Well, sugar, it's more tailored to you, givin' your colorist control to create a custom look. Plus, the softer, natural effect means you can stretch out a few more weeks between appointments—savin' you time and money. That's more spendin' on your favorite Austin boutiques!

How is Balayage Different from Highlights or Ombré?

Highlights are like the BBQ ribs of hair color, traditionally applied with foils for a uniform finish. Ombré, on the other hand, transitions gradually, like the shades of a Texas sky. But Balayage? It's like the free spirit of Austin, painted throughout your hair based on where the sun would touch it, creating a more natural look.

Is Balayage Your New Style, Sweetheart?

Balayage ain't just a look; it's an Austin vibe. Are you yearnin' for a change that's low maintenance but as bold as our Austin art scene? Balayage might just be the hair transformation you've been seeking.

Set aside some time, sugar. Your Balayage appointment will take about 3-5 hours, just like a long, enjoyable brunch with friends. Here's what you can expect at BrAsh Haus Beauty:

2. Get Painting: Watch as your colorist paints your hair with the precision of an artist at our local murals.
