What Is Balayage and Why Toronto Loves It

Balayage — from the French word meaning “to sweep” — is a freehand hair-coloring method that creates soft, blended highlights. Unlike traditional foiling, balayage delivers a customized gradient that flatters your face shape, skin tone, and style preferences.

Why it’s trending in Toronto and North York:

  • ✨ Low-maintenance and grows out naturally.

  • 💫 Works beautifully on all hair types and lengths.

  • 🌞 Perfect for subtle, sun-kissed results or bold transformations.

Our Signature Balayage Process at Biro Hair Studio

Every balayage at Biro Hair Studio is designed for personalization and precision. Here’s how our stylists bring your vision to life:

  1. Personal Consultation
    We begin with an in-depth discussion of your hair goals, type, and color history to ensure the result matches your lifestyle and personal style.

  2. Color Selection
    Using professional-grade products and Olaplex treatments, we select tones that complement your complexion and natural base color.

  3. Sectioning & Hand-Painting
    Hair is divided strategically, then hand-painted using balayage techniques that enhance your natural flow and volume.

  4. Processing & Toning
    After processing, we tone the hair to achieve your ideal shade — removing brassiness and perfecting the tone balance.

  5. Styling & Reveal
    Finished with a professional blowout, you’ll leave our North York salon with luminous, healthy, and Instagram-ready hair.
