Balayage & Highlights in Camberwell, London
Balayage is our signature colour service and the one clients ask for most. Colour is hand-painted onto the mid-lengths and ends so it grows out softly, with no harsh regrowth line and fewer salon visits.
Prefer brighter, more even lightness? We also do classic foil highlights, as a full head or a half head.

Balayage, highlights or half head foils?
At your consultation we'll help you choose:
- Balayage: soft, sun-kissed, low-maintenance colour painted by hand
- Full head highlights: brightness all over, from the roots
- Half head foils: lightness around the face and the top of the head, at a lower price
Balayage for every hair type
Dark, dense hair, fine European hair and curly or afro-textured hair all lift differently. We adapt the lightener, the placement and the toner to your hair so the result stays healthy and doesn't turn brassy.

Frequently asked questions
How much does balayage cost in London at Marbella?
Highlights start at £80 for short hair, £150 for medium hair and from £250 for long hair; half head foils start at £50. Balayage is priced at your consultation according to length and thickness, and agreed before we start.
Does balayage work on dark or Asian hair?
Yes. Dark and Asian hair can turn warm as it lightens, so we lift it gradually and tone it to the shade you want. One client wrote that we did a wonderful job on her Asian hair.
How long does balayage last?
Because it's painted away from the root, balayage grows out softly. Most clients refresh it every few months, with a toner in between if they want.
What's the difference between balayage and highlights?
Highlights use foils from the root for even brightness. Balayage is painted by hand for a softer, more natural, lower-maintenance result.
