Balayage & Hand-Painted Highlights
Balayage is a hand-painted highlighting technique that adds soft, natural-looking dimension to your hair, brighter at the ends, blended seamlessly into your natural colour. It's a favourite for Hermanus's coastal light. Warm, sunlit tones that look like they've been earned on the beach, not out of a bowl.
At Rivon Studio, Yvonne and the team tailor every balayage to your base colour and hair type. Dark hair gets rich, warm dimension without over-lightening, while finer or textured hair gets a placement that adds movement without extra damage. Tell us the tone you're picturing, from subtle and natural to bold and beachy, and we'll map the placement to suit you.
Balayage is booked as part of our Half Head or Full Head Highlights, Lowlights & Toner service. Just mention "balayage" when you book so your stylist can plan the placement and timing for it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What hair colour services do you offer?
We offer root touch-ups with a blow-dry, a full colour with cut and blow-dry, and half or full head highlights with lowlights and toner, all tailored to your style and skin tone.
How much do hair colour services cost?
A root touch-up with blow-dry is R635, colour with cut and blow-dry is R795, half head highlights is R880, and full head highlights is R1,165.
What's the difference between Colour Roots & Blowdry and Colour, Cut & Blowdry?
The root touch-up covers your colour and a blow-dry finish. Add a full haircut to that and you've got the cut & blowdry option, which is why it costs a bit more.
What's the difference between the Half Head and Full Head highlights service?
The half head service covers highlights and lowlights through the top and sides of your hair, while the full head service covers your entire head for a more complete colour change. Both include toner to finish the look.
Do you offer balayage?
Highlighting techniques like balayage can be discussed with your stylist and worked into a half head or full head highlights, lowlights & toner appointment. Mention the look you want when you book so your stylist can plan for it.
How long does balayage last?
Balayage tends to hold up longer between visits than traditional highlights, since the hand-painted, graduated effect grows out more naturally. Most clients get around three to four months before they need a refresh, though it depends on your hair type, colour, and how you look after it at home. Your stylist can give you a better idea for your specific hair during your consultation.
How much does balayage cost in Hermanus?
Since balayage is worked into a half head or full head highlights, lowlights & toner appointment rather than booked as its own service, pricing follows those rates: R880 for half head and R1,165 for full head. Your exact cost can vary with hair length and thickness, so mention balayage specifically when you book, and your stylist can confirm the quote.
Is balayage suitable for dark hair?
Yes. We tailor the lightening and placement to your base colour, so dark hair gets warm, natural dimension without over-lightening.
How is balayage different from regular highlights?
Balayage is hand-painted directly onto the hair for a soft, graduated look with no harsh regrowth line, while traditional highlights use foils for a more uniform, all-over effect. Your stylist can talk you through which suits your hair type and how much upkeep you want.
Can I book a hair colour appointment online?
Yes. Click "Book Online" on any of the four services to choose a time and secure your appointment.
