Balayage
Balayage is a hand-painted technique which allows our skilled colourists to create the perfect look suited specifically to you.
It’s no surprise that balayage is the most popular hair colouring technique because it is different for each person, designed to flatter each individual through expertly placed highlights from our highly trained team! We can create everything from sun-kissed looks to bold fashion statement hair and dramatic ombré hair where we create a two-tone look with contrasting colours.
Balayage has become an umbrella term for many similar looks. If you're slightly baffled by the latest hair colour terminology - don't worry! The team of friendly professionals at Amour hair salon in Salford, are here to break it down for you and will happily explain everything!
Please note: We are a colour responsible salon which means we will require you to pop in for a quick skin test 48 hours prior to your hair colour appointment.
Balayage For Brunettes
Beautiful balayage colours for darker hair colours include dark roots with blonde, golden caramel tones, and smoky grey hues.
Bronde is the perfect mix of the traditional shades of blonde and brunette and creates a chic and stylish multi-dimensional look that is bang on trend.
Blonde Balayage
A huge benefit of balayage hair colour is that it allows softer, less noticeable regrowth lines in between appointments. The finish is very soft rather unlike the uniform highlights that foils give.
Transforming your hair colour to blonde takes skill, knowledge and experience. As a specialist hair colour salon in Salford, we know that the right hair colour can take you from drab to fab, so why not let our experts work their magic on your locks?
Choose from Instagram balayage, lived in blonde or cool platinum shades to name just a few!
Balayage For Red Heads
Our talented team of stylists can create an array of beautiful red hair colours that perfectly suit your skin tone and personality.
From peachy pastel tones, to fiery copper oranges and rose gold shades, we are confident we can deliver a look you'll love!
Money Piece
Face frame colour, also known as 'the money piece', gives a nod to the chunky highlights seen in the 90s with bold face framing strips of colour being added as a contrasting shade to the rest of the head.
Over the top bleach blonde face frame colour is HUGE - think Gerri Halliwell in her early spice girls days! Face frame highlights offer a great low-maintenance hair colour that still allows you to be bold with your look without having to commit to a full head hair colour. Ask for some face-framing highlights to really accentuate the beach babe look!
Balayage is also a great face contouring technique - we can cleverly add lighter shades where more width is needed and darker colours to give the impression of a slimmer face!
Colour Melt Hair
Also known as root shadowing, root stretching & root smudge, colour melt hair is where your skilled Amour colour technician, overlaps varying shades of colour to create a seamless, natural-looking blend that looks as though the varying colours have ‘melted’ into one another.
The colour melting technique works especially well with balayage highlights. The root colour is often the darkest shade, with a gradual transition towards a lighter colour at the tips of the hair.
We can achieve this look using natural tones as well as with creative fashion shades. Choose from a buttery blonde colour melt, glossy brunette colour melt or a silver-grey colour melt for an on-trend look.
