Balayage Highlights – The Best Kept Secret in NYC!


If you want to lighten up your hair with a new and natural technique without having to frequently upkeep your color, Mure Salon in the Upper East Side has a solution for you. Now you can join Gisele Bündchen, Eva Longoria and Sarah Jessica Parker in achieving this brand new and illuminating hair design. 


Balayage is a coloring technique in which hair color is swept or painted on to the hair to create depth and dimension. It is a method in which lightener or hair color is literally swept onto the individual hair strand to create lightness and depth. The method originated in France in the 1970s, deriving from the French word “to sweep.”

New York City and Los Angeles salons are starting to unveil this fabulous new trend, causing a worldwide demand for balayage highlights. And Mure Salon has jumped on this balayage bandwagon! 



The difference between the traditional foil highlight technique – Balayage, also referred to as “hair painting,” creates the most natural looking results. When applied correctly by a color specialist, this technique can give your hair a sun-kissed and natural glow. When a salon professional applies traditional foils, he or she works row by row, causing the highlight pattern to appear very linear and grid-like…but with this new specialty technique, there is much more flexibility, as the highlights are literally painted on, resulting in a more natural blend and customized pattern.  

Our Mure Salon color specialists are trained to apply the color midshaft, which is where the sun naturally hits your hair the most. From there, they, gently paint up to the roots, making the growth at the scalp look more gradual and natural instead of evenly colored and uniformed in pattern.

The number one benefit of balayage highlights – Longer lasting results, softer line of demarcation and lower maintenance! With the application of traditional foils, the regrowth of the root appears more obvious, causing clients to come for touch-ups every 4 to 6 weeks. Using the balayage technique, clients could hold out longer than 8 weeks saving them time and money.

Keep in mind women with dark hair, balayage may not be the best option – to achieve lighter hair, you need the heat from the foils to remove the pigment. In that case, a mix of both traditional foils and natural-looking balayage streaks could create that perfect “outgrown ombre” trend. Balayage can enhance almost any haircut, length or texture. Customize your next haircut by adding dimension with balayage to compliment the cut. 

Balayage is the in-salon color service choice among the celebrities, models and fashionistas worldwide, who demand hair color to be designed exclusively for them.
