Soft contrast. Timeless colour. Expertly placed.
Balayage at Simon Warwick Salons is a bespoke colour service that delivers natural-looking, sun-kissed dimension with subtle movement and depth. Each placement is tailored to your features, style, and hair condition — creating a finish that looks effortlessly refined.
What’s Included
Balayage is a freehand colour technique where lighter tones are painted onto the hair to create a gradual, soft blend from root to tip. Unlike traditional highlights, balayage avoids harsh regrowth lines, allowing for a more low-maintenance and natural finish.
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation. We consider your base colour, hair texture, complexion, and how you like to wear your hair day to day. From there, your colourist will hand-paint lightness where it flatters most — around the face, through the lengths, or subtly across the surface. A toner or gloss is usually applied to refine the tone and enhance shine. Many clients also pair balayage with a cut or blow-dry for a complete finish.

Who It’s For
Balayage is ideal for women who want to add lightness and dimension without the maintenance of traditional colour. It’s particularly flattering on mid to long hair but can be adapted for all lengths and textures. Whether you’re new to colour or refreshing an existing look, balayage offers a softer approach that grows out beautifully.
Clients often choose balayage for its wearability — it enhances natural colour while remaining understated and polished. If you’re looking to frame your face, add subtle lift, or blend greys gently, balayage can be tailored to your goals.
Duration & Appointment Timing
A balayage appointment typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the desired result and hair length. As with all colour services at Simon Warwick Salons, you’ll never be rushed — we allow the right amount of time for careful application and processing.
How Often Should You Book?
Most clients return every 10 to 14 weeks for maintenance, with occasional toner or gloss appointments in between to refresh tone and shine. Your colourist will guide you on the ideal timing for your hair.
For beautifully blended results from expert hairdressers London, book a consultation at Simon Warwick Salons — where balayage is always personal, polished, and expertly executed.
