Layage is the balayage hair coloring technique applied laying down
Layage gives your hair a stunning natural look
Layage is a combination of two words. You might have heard the word balayage thrown around. Balayage is a French word meaning “sweeping” or “painting”. This word is combined with lay (as in laying down) to form the hybrid word layage. The term layage has been adopted by Bee Sam Beauty to describe this signature hair service that she offers at the salon.
The layage salon service
Layage is a hair highlighting or coloring technique that involves fanning the out on to a large table like a canvas and having the color or lightener painted on by the colorist.
The layage hair technique is a more subtle natural way to get a graduated effect with coloring or lightening techniques. The client’s hair is laid flat on a surface with their head tilted back giving the colorist full artistic control over how the lightener or color is applied.
During the process, the layage from the client’s perspective is a relaxing approach and some clients have been known to fall asleep during their appointment. The results are what makes this technique so sought after. Results tend to be natural with subtle tones for a natural lifted and blended look. The gradient is even more graduated, seamless and all the more alluring.
