Balayage vs. Highlights vs. AirTouch: Finding Your Blonde Vibe
What’s the Difference? Let’s Break It Down.
At MaVo Hairlounge, our blonding services are tailored to your style, maintenance preferences, and hair goals. Here’s a quick guide to the options we offer:
Traditional Highlights are done in foils and create a more uniform, brighter blonde from roots to ends. Perfect for clients who love bold brightness and high contrast. Maintenance is typically every 6–8 weeks.
Foilyage blends the soft, lived-in look of balayage with the brightness you get from foil. We use foils strategically to achieve a more diffused, dimensional result with a soft root and lighter ends.
Balayage at MaVo isn’t painted freehand. We use a technique that mimics the softness of balayage, but we often apply it into foils for better lift, tone control, and longevity. It creates a sun-kissed, low-maintenance finish that grows out seamlessly and flatters all hair types.
AirTouch Balayage uses air, Yes, air! – with a blowdryer, to push away baby hairs and shorter strands before applying lightener. It delivers the most blended, graceful grow-out with multidimensional brightness that looks stunning and natural.
Whether you’re a first-time blonde or ready to upgrade your look, our team customizes each blonding session using the best tools and techniques to protect your hair’s health and enhance your beauty.
