The cost depends on your hair length, how much colour you want, and the finish you are after. At Jayne Elliott Hair Company, every balayage is quoted around your hair rather than a one size fits all menu, so you only pay for the work your look actually needs. ## What affects the price of balayage Balayage is a hand painted colour technique, so the biggest factor is time. Longer or thicker hair takes more product and more careful placement, which naturally costs more than a shorter style. The look you want matters too. A soft, subtle blend around the face is quicker than a full head of bright, high contrast colour. Your starting point also plays a part. If you are going lighter from dark hair, or correcting a previous colour, that takes extra care to keep your hair healthy. A good stylist will always talk this through with you first, so there are no surprises when you sit down. > **Why balayage is priced differently to highlights** > > Traditional foil highlights follow a set pattern, so they are easier to price by the head. Balayage is painted freehand to suit your hair, which is why it is usually quoted after a quick chat rather than picked off a list. ## What you get for the price A balayage appointment is more than colour. It includes a proper consultation, the colour work itself, a toner or gloss to perfect the shade, and a finish so you leave looking your best. Because the regrowth is soft, balayage also grows out gently, which means fewer trips back to the salon and better value over time. Because balayage varies so much from person to person, we do not set a fixed price. To get an estimated cost, please book a free, no obligation consultation with one of our experts, who will look at your hair and talk through exactly what you want. You can also see the full range of foil, blend and hand painted options on our [balayage and highlights services in Lutterworth](/service-categories/highlights) page. > **Book a free colour consultation** > > Not sure which technique suits you?

There is no fixed price, because balayage depends on your hair length, the amount of colour, and the finish you want. To get an estimated cost, book a free, no obligation consultation with one of our experts and we will give you a clear quote before any work begins. ### How long does balayage take? Most balayage appointments take between two and three hours, depending on your hair length and how light you are going. Going from dark hair to a bright blonde takes longer, as we lift the colour gently to protect your hair. ### How often do I need balayage topped up? One of the joys of balayage is the soft regrowth, so many people go three to four months between appointments. A toner or gloss in between keeps the colour fresh and bright without a full colour service. ### Is balayage better than highlights? Neither is better, they simply suit different looks. Balayage gives a soft, sun kissed, low maintenance finish, while foil highlights give brighter, more uniform lift. We will help you choose the right one at your consultation. ## Ready to book?
