Effortless, Lived-In Colour That Turns Heads
At Indie Hair, we’re all about creating colour that feels natural, fresh, and unapologetically you.
That’s why balayage is one of our signature services. This freehand highlighting technique delivers soft,
sun-kissed dimension without harsh lines or heavy upkeep.
Whether you’re chasing beachy blonde, a rich caramel melt, or something uniquely bold—our stylists blend
shades seamlessly to suit your hair, your skin tone, and your lifestyle.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage (pronounced bah-lay-ahge) is a French colouring technique that means “to sweep.”
Unlike traditional foils, balayage is hand-painted onto the hair, giving a natural, gradient effect—lighter
at the ends, softer at the roots. The result? Low-maintenance colour with high-impact shine.
Why Our Clients Love It:
- Grows Out Naturally – No harsh regrowth lines
- Customisable Colour – Every balayage is tailored to your hair goals
- Low Maintenance – Fewer touch-ups = less salon time
- Great for First Timers – A gentle way to ease into colour
- Endless Possibilities – Blonde, brunette, copper, or fantasy tones
Our Balayage Packages
- Full Balayage – Perfect for maximum lightness and transformation
- Partial Balayage – Subtle dimension through the mid-lengths and ends
- Balayage + Root Melt – Seamless blends with deeper roots for depth
- Balayage Refresh – Toner, gloss, and shine revamp between appointments
Thinking of Balayage? Let’s Talk.
We believe great hair starts with a great consultation. Our stylists take time to understand your hair history, dream colour, and how much maintenance you’re up for. Then, we design a balayage that fits you.

Ready For Aftercare Tips
- Wait Before Washing: Hold off 48–72 hours after your balayage service before washing to help the colour lock in.
- Use Sulphate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner: Always use a colour-safe, sulphate-free formula to avoid stripping your colour and drying out your hair.
- Don’t Overwash: Aim for 2–3 washes a week to help preserve your colour and natural oils.
- Hydrate Weekly: Use a deep-conditioning treatment or bond-repair mask (like K18, Olaplex, or Eleven) once a week to keep hair healthy and shiny.
- Protect From Heat: Always use heat protectant when blow-drying, curling, or straightening to prevent fading and damage.
- Avoid Chlorine & Saltwater: These can dry out and dull colour—use a protective spray and rinse hair right after swimming.
- Toner Refresh: Book in every 6–8 weeks for a toner or gloss to keep your colour vibrant and brass-free.
- Trim Regularly: A trim every 8–12 weeks will keep ends healthy and your balayage looking fresh.
Pro Tip: Schedule your toner refresh at the time of your balayage booking so you never fall behind on maintenance.
