Colour & Balayage

Seamless colour, hand-painted, effortless.

Seamless colour, hand-painted, effortless.

Colour at Salon Ayre is built around seamless results and hair health first, because a beautiful tone on damaged hair never looks the way it should. Seamless colour is our specialty, soft, blended, and undetectable, whether that means hand-painted balayage, foiled highlights, regrowth and global colour, or full corrective work. Every service is paired with bond-repair and a tone that’s mapped to your skin and lifestyle, not a swatch on a wall.

Best for: Balayage, babylights, face-frame highlights, regrowth touch-ups, colour corrections.

What’s Included

  • Colour consultation + patch test
  • Seamless hand-painted or foiled application
  • Bond-repair treatment

How a Colour & Balayage Visit Works

  1. 01

    Consultation & Patch Test

    For first-time colour with us, a complimentary consultation maps the look, and a 5-minute patch test 48 hours ahead is non-negotiable for your safety.

  2. 02

    Application

    Seamless, hand-painted balayage, foiled highlights, or full-colour application using premium Wella systems, paced for your hair’s natural processing time.

  3. 03

    Bond Repair & Tone

    A bond-repair treatment locks in integrity, then a custom-mapped toner refines the finish so it sits beautifully on your skin tone.

  4. 04

    Finish & Schedule

    A polished blow-dry finish, plus a maintenance schedule so your colour grows out softly instead of sharply.

Colour & Balayage, Answered

A typical balayage runs 2.5–3.5 hours depending on length, thickness, and whether a toner and treatment are included. Colour corrections may run longer, we’ll confirm during consultation.

Yes, for any first-time colour service with us. It’s a quick 5-minute appointment 48+ hours before your colour, part of our duty of care, and non-negotiable if you haven’t had colour with us before.

Yes, colour corrections are one of our specialties at the Director tier. Please book a consultation first so we can assess your hair and quote accurately before booking the main service.

Wash with sulphate-free shampoo, drop the water temperature, use a weekly bond-repair mask, and slot in a gloss between full services. Your colourist will tailor a home routine on the day.
