So, What Is Reverse Balayage?
Unlike traditional balayage, which involves hand-painting lighter tones through darker hair to create a sunlit, lifted effect, reverse balayage does the opposite. It’s the technique of adding deeper, darker tones back into blonde hair, usually starting from the roots and blending softly downwards. The result is a more natural, dimensional look that still embraces your blonde, but with extra contrast and richness.
Reverse balayage is perfect for:
Toning down over-lightened hair
Adding depth and shadow to the roots
Creating a softer grow-out
Transitioning into a more lived-in, effortless blonde
We often pair reverse balayage with glossing and root shadow techniques to keep your colour looking polished, shiny, and beautifully blended.
Why Choose Reverse Balayage?
This technique is a great option if you're looking to keep your blonde but want a slightly lower-maintenance, softer look. It’s especially useful if you’re feeling a little too light overall or if your colour is starting to look flat or washed out.
At Amour Hair Salon, our experienced colourists will work with your existing blonde base to add dimension in the most flattering way, always taking into account your skin tone, styling routine, and how often you’d like to visit the salon for maintenance.
