Balayage vs. Highlights: Which Is Best for You?

Balayage vs. Highlights: Which One Is Right for You? ✨A detailed guide for Naperville clients choosing between lived-in color and classic brightness.

Let’s be honest—deciding between balayage and highlights can feel like a big choice. Both are gorgeous, but they give totally different vibes. So, how do you know which one's best for you? Let’s break it down.

Balayage is ideal if you love that effortless, natural-looking glow. The color is hand-painted for a soft, blended finish that grows out seamlessly—perfect for anyone who wants a low-maintenance look that still turns heads.

Highlights, on the other hand, are more defined and give you brightness from root to tip. They’re great if you’re looking for a bolder, more dimensional result or want to lighten up your overall look.

Not sure which direction to take? That’s what consultations are for! I’ll help create a custom color plan that fits your lifestyle and hair goals.
