Balayage is one of our most requested services—and for good reason. It’s soft, dimensional, low-maintenance, and grows out beautifully. Whether you’re a first-timer or ready to switch things up, here are the top balayage trends we’re loving for 2025 (and yes, we do all of them here in the salon!). 

Sun-Kissed Honey Balayage

This one is for the glow-getters. Think warm golden ribbons that reflect the Austin sunshine perfectly. We love this look on just about everyone, and it’s especially great for enhancing your natural brunette or dark blonde base.

It’s super low-maintenance, grows out like a dream, and adds that soft brightness without ever looking overdone.

Ashy Platinum Balayage

If you’re into cool tones and want a statement look that still feels modern and lived-in, this one’s for you. Ashy platinum blends cool blonde with soft smoky tones—it’s like balayage with an edge.

We customize this to fit your skin tone and can tone it icy or keep it muted and matte depending on your vibe. Pair it with a clean haircut or soft waves and it’s instant cool-girl energy.

Caramel Mocha Balayage

Rich, warm, and dimensional—this look is perfect for brunettes who want to keep depth but still see some pop. We blend caramel and mocha tones to create that melted, chocolate-drizzle kind of effect.

It’s cozy and chic, and honestly, it’s one of our go-to looks for fall and winter color refreshes.

Rose Gold Balayage

Playful, romantic, and unexpectedly wearable. Rose gold balayage is the one to try if you want something different that still feels soft and elevated. We mix golden blondes with blushy pinks for a tone that works on more skin tones than you might think.

It’s stunning on both blondes and brunettes, and we especially love this look for special occasions or total transformations.

Face-Framing Balayage Highlights

Not ready to go all in? No problem. We can create dimension and brightness just around the face—giving you glow, lift, and a mini makeover without the full color commitment.

This is a great option if you’ve been feeling flat or dull but don’t want a ton of upkeep. It’s also perfect if you’re growing out an old color and want to blend and soften it.
