Transform Your Look with Custom Balayage Highlights

Balayage is a freehand highlighting method where color is carefully painted onto the hair to create soft transitions and a natural, sun-lit finish. Unlike traditional foil highlights, balayage grows out seamlessly and is tailored to your hair texture, length, and lifestyle.

At Biro Hair Studio, every balayage service is individually planned, not pre-set—ensuring results that look effortless, healthy, and modern.

What Is Balayage and Why It’s So Popular in Toronto

The word balayage comes from French, meaning “to sweep.” This technique allows colorists to place highlights where light naturally hits the hair, creating depth without harsh lines.

Why clients across Toronto love balayage:

  • Low-maintenance color that grows out naturally

  • Suitable for straight, wavy, or curly hair

  • Customizable for subtle brightness or bold contrast

  • Enhances natural hair movement and dimension

Balayage is ideal for clients who want polished results without frequent touch-ups.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Balayage in Toronto

    How much does balayage cost in North York and Toronto?

    Balayage pricing at Biro Hair Studio starts at $300+, depending on hair length, thickness, and desired outcome. A consultation ensures accurate pricing and realistic expectations.

    Is $400 a lot for a balayage?

    While $400 may seem high, balayage is a premium service requiring advanced skills and time. The results are long-lasting and worth the investment for a professional, flawless finish.

    What is a normal price for a balayage?

    A normal price for balayage in Toronto falls between $300 and $400. Factors like hair length, color complexity, and salon quality affect the cost.

    What is the downside of balayage?

    Balayage is low-maintenance, but it’s not entirely upkeep-free. Over time, the highlights may lose their vibrancy, requiring periodic toning or touch-ups to maintain the look.

    Is balayage high maintenance?

    Balayage is considered low maintenance compared to traditional highlights. Because the color is blended and not applied directly at the roots, regrowth appears softer and less noticeable.

    How do I maintain balayage at home?

    Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos, limit heat styling, and schedule periodic toning or gloss treatments. Your stylist will recommend products tailored to your hair and color goals.
