Our balayage prices vary depending on which level of stylist you choose and whether you are booking in for a balayage root touch, a few face framing balayage highlights, or a complete balayage hair colour transformation!
Absolutely, we can apply the treatment on highlighted & coloured hair, indeed it could prolong the vibrancy of the colour as it seals the cuticles, locking in your tones for longer. for example, if you want a Brazilian Blow Dry and a hair colour, highlights, balayage or ombre at the same time we recommend we do the Brazilian first as the colour will still be developing whilst in the salon.
There are many services that are very similar or identical to the Brazilian Blow Dry. These include the Keratin Treatment, Brazilian Blow Out, Japanese Straightening, Hair Smoothing, Keratin Cure.
The treatment is not permanent and is principally used as an anti-frizz, shine infusing solution that can last upwards of three to four months when cared for correctly.
It can! The Brazilian Blow Dry works all types of hair length. Lengths range from men’s short hair to waist length. It’s perfect for those with any hair length who want less maintenance and slick and shiny as heck hair.
We use the innovative Inoar Treatment which allows you to wash your hair just hours after your Brazilian Blow Dry treatment. However, we would recommend against using styling products for 12 hours. To prolong the efficacy, we strongly advise you to use sulphate and paraben free shampoo. We highly recommend you use WNt Shampoo and Conditioner which is specially formulated as a Brazilian Blow Dry aftercare. You can purchase all your professional haircare products online here.
The Brazilian blow dry should last around three months however it can last longer if you maintain good home care etiquette, i.e. using sulphate free shampoo, avoiding sea water. It can also depend on your natural hair constitution and texture.
The Brazilian blow dry price is highly dependent on your hair length as the chemicals used to eliminate frizz can prove costly. Your Gusto keratin expert will be able to give you a more detailed figure during your hair smoothing consultation.
Of course! Balayage is popular for blondes and brunettes but even shades such as red or even grey hair can benefit from a balayage!

They will talk you through the process needed in order to correct your home balayage hair colour and most importantly, bring it back to a beautiful condition!
YES! The balayage colouring technique can be applied to any hair length effectively. However, it is most striking on medium to longer length hair. Not only does the balayage create sweeping natural looking tones, but it also creates the illusion of thick luscious hair, as the technique is magnified top to bottom, giving your hair more "protrusion" and more of a multifaceted layered colour burst!
The great thing about the balayage, in contrast to other colour techniques, is that it's longer lasting, thanks to its already natural freehand effects. Nonetheless, it is always crucial you maintain the vibrancy of your gorgeous new colour. We recommend anti-stripping shampoos and conditioners such as Reflection Bain Chromatique Shampoo and Conditioner and the WNt London Shampoo and Conditioner. Both protect your hair without affecting the viciousness of your tones!
Balayage has become an umbrella term for many new & creative hair colouring techniques. These can include; Money Piece Colour, Face Frame Balayage, Reverse Balayage, Instagram Balayage, Colour Contouring, Root Melts & Root Smudge to name but a few!
One of the great things about the balayage hair colour technique is that you don't have to visit the salon so often between colour appointments. We would recommend booking your appointment between 8 and 12 weeks with a toning visit to keep your colour looking fresh.
Balayage, Ombre & creative colour services vary depending on the exact look you are after. Your Gusto Colour expert will be able to give you a more detailed figure at your hair colour consultation.
