Painterly Hair

Every woman wants to stand out when it comes to their hair color, but many want it to look like she was born with it as well. The French technique of Balyage (when means 'sweeping' or 'streaked color' in French) gives a natural but rich and colorful appearance to the hair. Many shades and tints of the same hair color are used, painted on lightly and accurately strand-by-strand to push the dimension and the silhouette of the hairstyle.


At JON ENGLISH® HAIRSPA, our stylists are well trained in the Balyage technique, giving you the option each and every appointment to maximize the depth and uniqueness of your natural hair color range. Resulting in the 'beach-comber' effect, transitions between these colors are soft, due to the application being done with a brush and a free hand, as opposed to the abrupt slicing of sections that results from applying color with foils. If you're feeling more adventurous, talk to your stylist about the 'Bardot' effect, which means lighter tones on the ends, and darker more vibrant tones at the roots.

Balyage at Jon English® Hairspa starts at $80. Call 612.824.2474 to make an appointment today!
