Balayage
At Michael Todd Hairdressing, we specialise in creating soft, natural balayage — a hand-painted highlighting technique that adds sun-kissed dimension and depth to your hair. Based in East Grinstead, we’re trusted by clients across West Sussex for delivering bespoke colour tailored to your skin tone, style, and hair type. Our team uses premium Davines and L’Oréal Professional Colour to ensure healthy, beautiful, and long-lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is balayage?
Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that creates natural, sun-kissed colour with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines compared to traditional highlights.
Do I need a patch test before balayage?
Yes, a patch test is required at least 48 hours before your colour appointment to ensure your safety and prevent allergic reactions. Please contact us to arrange this.
How long does a balayage appointment take?
Depending on your hair length and the look you want, balayage typically takes between 2.5 to 4 hours, including consultation, application, and finishing.
Which areas do your clients come from?
Alongside East Grinstead, we welcome clients from Forest Row, Crawley Down, Lingfield, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Ashurst Wood, and neighbouring parts of Surrey and Kent.
What products do you use for balayage?
We use high-quality Davines and L’Oréal Professional Colour to achieve radiant tones while maintaining your hair’s health and shine.
