is balayage suitable for all hair types?

Balayage is suitable for most hair types, but it’s still important to come in and chat with a stylist to determine if your hair is healthy enough to withstand the colouring process. For example, if your hair is on the thinner side and naturally easy to break, it may require special consideration. For more info, see our blog: “Will balayage highlights work in my hair?”
