Foilayage Vs Balayage at McGills Hairdressing in Edinburgh
Some of the most popular colouring techniques used in our Edinburgh hair salon include balayage, ombré, colour melting and root stretching. So, what is this new colour trend everyone is talking about?
'Foilayage' is a perfect blend of balayage & traditional highlights. It involves the same bespoke sweeping method used in freehand balayage, however, sections of hair are then wrapped in foil highlights, allowing the hair to lighten further and intensifying the lifting effect of the highlights. The results are stunning!
Foilayage highlights are applied to sections of the hair in V shapes, away from the root to provide a super natural looking regrowth. They are often placed around the front hairline to frame the face and define your features. These flattering highlights are weaved very finely or hand-painted directly onto the hair to give multi-dimensional colour.
Rest assured, your super talented McGills colourist will create a gorgeous hair colour to show off your haircut and personal style - book an appointment at your favourite Edinburgh hairdressers and transform your look with us!
Please note: if you are new to hair colour with us, please book in for a skin test 48 hours before your hair colour appointment.
