What is a Partial Balayage?
A partial balayage is a strategic, freehand coloring technique where highlights are applied to only a section of your hair, typically the top layer and around the face. Unlike a full balayage, this approach creates a softer, more subtle effect, perfect for adding dimension and a “money piece” that brightens your complexion without a full-color commitment.

Creates beautiful, natural-looking highlights that frame your face and accentuate your features.
Lower Maintenance
The grow-out is seamless and graceful, requiring fewer touch-ups than traditional highlights.

Partial Balayage FAQ's
A partial balayage focuses on adding highlights to a specific section, usually the top layer and face-framing pieces. A full balayage involves applying highlights throughout all layers of your hair for a more dramatic, all-over lightened look.
Typically, a partial balayage service takes about 2-3 hours, depending on your hair’s length, thickness, and starting color.
One of the biggest benefits is the low maintenance! Most clients come in for a touch-up every 6-8 weeks. You can also come in sooner for a simple toner or gloss to refresh the color between appointments.
Because we are only coloring a section of your hair and using advanced techniques, balayage is generally less damaging than traditional all-over color or foil highlights. We also use bond-building treatments like Olaplex to maintain the health and integrity of your hair during the service.
A great question! We finish our balayage services with specific smoothing treatments designed to seal the hair cuticle, ensuring your color stays smooth and frizz-free, even in the most humid Houston weather.
