What Makes Real Balayage Different
Balayage is a freehand hand-painting technique, not a foiling system. Our colourists sweep lightener through select strands to create soft, diffused highlights that grow out without a harsh root line. The result reads as sunlight rather than stripes — which is why balayage suits clients who want a low-maintenance look that still photographs beautifully.
Custom Balayage Tailored to Your Hair
Every consultation starts with three questions: what is your hair history, what tones do you love on yourself, and how often can you realistically come in for upkeep. From there we map placement to your face shape, lifestyle, and undertone. Cool-toned clients lean toward smoked-pearl or icy beige; warm-toned clients glow with honey, caramel, or copper accents.

Balayage is engineered to stretch between appointments. Most clients return every 3 to 4 months for a refresh, with a quick gloss or toning service at the 6 to 8 week mark to keep the tone clean. At home, sulfate-free shampoo, weekly bond-repair masks, and a UV-protective leave-in keep your colour looking fresh from leaving the salon to the next visit.
Pricing and What to Expect
Balayage at Salon Deauville starts at $185 for short hair, $235 for medium, and $295 for long. Full colour corrections are quoted separately after a consultation. Appointments run from two to four hours depending on hair density and target lift. We always price up front — no surprises — and we welcome a free 15-minute consultation before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is balayage different from highlights?
Highlights are foiled in straight lines from the root; balayage is hand-painted with soft placement that diffuses into your natural colour. Balayage grows out without a hard line.
How long does balayage last?
Balayage typically holds 3 to 4 months between full appointments, with an optional gloss every 6 to 8 weeks to refresh tone.
How much does balayage cost in Montreal?
At Salon Deauville, balayage starts at $185 for short hair, $235 medium, and $295 for long. Pricing is finalized in your free consultation.
Will balayage damage my hair?
Done correctly, no. Our colourists use bond-protecting additives in every lightener and finish with a deep conditioning treatment. We never push hair past its integrity ceiling.
