Balayage vs Highlights

Balayage vs Highlights: Which One Should You Choose?

If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram looking for hair inspiration (we know you have!), you’ve probably seen two words pop up again and again: balayage and highlights.

Both techniques can transform your hair beautifully but they create very different looks, require different levels of maintenance, and suit different lifestyles. So which one is right for you?

Here’s our stylist-approved guide to help you decide.

✨ What Is Balayage?

Balayage is a freehand colouring technique where your stylist paints lighter pieces throughout your hair to create a soft, natural blend.

The Look

Sun-kissed
Seamless and low-maintenance
Soft ribbons of lightness
No harsh lines or obvious regrowth

Perfect For

Anyone who wants a natural, lived-in glow
Clients who don’t want to be in the salon every 6–8 weeks
Brunettes and blondes equally (we create both!)
A more modern, blended effect

Maintenance Level

Low.
Most clients come back every 3–4 months, with optional toners in between.

✨ What Are Highlights?

Highlights use foils to lighten sections of hair from root to tip. This creates a brighter, cleaner, more uniform lift.

The Look

Brighter, lighter, more classic blonde
Bold contrast or soft fine weaves, you choose
Great for maximum lift

Perfect For

Clients who love a bright, blonde look
Anyone wanting lift right from the roots
Controlled, precise, even colour

Maintenance Level

Higher.
Regrowth is more noticeable, so most clients return every 6–8 weeks.

✨ Which One Should You Choose?

If you want…
🌤 A natural, blended “I woke up like this” blonde → choose balayage
☀️ A bright, bold, classic blonde → choose highlights
🌙 A low-maintenance routine → balayage
🌞 Maximum lift and brightness → highlights
✨ Soft ribbons of brightness → balayage
✨ Root-to-tip consistency → highlights

And if you’re unsure? Don’t worry, most of our clients aren’t sure until they come in! That’s what consultations are for.

✨ Can You Mix the Two?

Absolutely and we do this a lot at Blackheath Hair & Co.
A combination of face-framing highlights with a balayage blend is one of our most requested services for that perfect bright-but-natural finish.

✨ Final Tip from the Team

Bring photos.
We LOVE when clients show us the tones, brightness levels, and styles they’re drawn to. It helps us personalise your colour so you leave feeling your absolute best.

Myself and my mum got our hair dyed, cut and styled by Danny. This experience was one of the best we have had at a hair salon. Danny listened to what we wanted and did exactly that! My mum wanted a grey blending balayage which she has struggled to get at other hairdressers however, Danny delivered. My hair was also done gorgeously ! The two young people who are supporting the team were also very delightful. We will definitely be returning.

Jessica did such an amazing job on my hair! I’ve been in London over a year now and haven’t found a hairdresser who’s actually taken the time to do my hair properly. Also, the blow out she did on my hair lasted from Thursday - Sunday. I’ve gotten so many compliments and so pleased with how it looks, I will definitely be returning ☺️

I visited the salon for the first time a few weeks ago and had a great experience. The space was bright, clean, and easy to find. Jess, the stylist I chose based on reviews, was amazing — patient, professional, and attentive. She offered thoughtful suggestions and even consulted with a colleague on a few ideas to ensure the best result. Highly recommend!

I recently had the Kerasilk Keratin Treatment done at Blackheath Hair & Co. Although I had a disappointing first result with the treatment, the salon was incredibly quick in getting in touch to do their best to try and rectify the outcome. I was booked in for the same treatment within a week, where the stylist tried a slightly different approach to achieve a better result with my hair. It’s too early to tell whether it’s worked, but if it doesn’t, it’s certainly not for a lack of trying on the salon’s side and if it does, then that would turn it to 5 stars for me for sure.

The stylist - Jess - was also super lovely both times and made the experience in the salon itself enjoyable, even following my initially disappointing feedback. Thank you to the team there and fingers crossed the smoothing results come through for me, too.

I have been coming to Blackheath Hair & Co for about 9 months now, everyone is so welcoming and lovely! Emily has completely transformed my hair, when I first came in it was dry and damaged from at-home bleaching but she absolutely turned it around by matching and blending it regularly to these beautiful extensions! Highly recommend!! 😁

This was only my 2nd visit to Kyla at Blackheath Hair & Co, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I submitted an enquiry via the website and was impressed that Kyla called me back the same day—even after the salon had closed—to discuss what I was looking for. We exchanged pictures via email, and she quickly arranged my appointment.

At the salon, Kyla took the time to talk everything through with me. She clearly explained what she planned to do, checked in with her manager where needed, and was incredibly conscientious and thorough throughout. Her attention to detail and care really stood out.

Thank you Kyla—see you again!

She really took her time to find out what I wanted and she cut it expertly leaving me with the healthiest looking hair I’ve had in ages. I’m going back in a week or so for highlights.

Now I realise I stuck with my old hairdresser for far too long! I honestly don’t know what took me so long to try Blackheath Hair stylists. A few weeks ago, Helen gave me a lovely fresh haircut – not an easy task with my very fine hair – and then Alex worked her magic with beautiful highlights and a gorgeous blonde tone. My hair finally looks fresh, fuller, and has that lovely, natural blonde glow. Thank you so much, Ladies - I couldn’t recommend you more highly!

I had such a lovely experience having my hair done by Danny and Alex yesterday. From the moment I called, the salon were so accommodating to fit me in and everyone was so kind and so nice. Danny’s did a great job with the colour and Alex did me a lovely blow dry. Sometimes I get charged extra for having long, thick hair but I didn’t here and I left feeling amazing. Will be sticking with them from now on.

What a wonderful hairdressers!

I've been coming to Blackheath Hair for haircuts for a while now. Every time but one the cut has been fantastic, and the one that wasn't good, they were brilliant about fixing. They fitted me in the very next working day with a senior stylist to sort it, without charge. Things will go wrong from time to time - that's just life - and how you deal with it tells you a lot. So I can honestly recommend Blackheath Hair!

I had a cut and colour consultation a few weeks ago and was really very happy. Came back today to have my first full, proper colour a full head of balayage again with Emily and I can honestly say it has been the best hair experience I have ever had. Emily was amazing talking through everything with me, reassuring me and ultimately the result is immense. She has managed to fix my years of box dying in one visit given me a ready hairstyle also. The girls Megan, Kyla and Elsie are equally lovely, offering drinks throughout and giving the best head massages. You truly are a gem in the heart of Blackheath and I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to recommend you. Thank you so so much!

Helen had exceptional reviews and they weren’t wrong. The salon is superb with gorgeous decor and a relaxing feel.

I received an excellent head massage as I got my hair washed - it was incredibly relaxing. I was offered a drink and there was an entire menu to choose from. The decor and ambience are lovely. And, of course, my finished hairstyle was exactly what I was looking for - my hair is healthy and glossy again. Can't wait to come back.

Obsessed with this place. Emily, the stylist I picked is so kind and her work is incredible. They offer you free (really good) expresso drinks and the entire staff you can tell love their jobs. If you’re like me and get your fringe done, they will keep it up for you for free. Highly recommended.

I loved my first experience here from start to finish! The team are all extremely welcoming and my stylist, Nadia, took the time to listen to my preferences and long term hair goals. She completely understood my hair and my colour goals. I honestly couldn’t believe the difference in my hair after the colour, treatment, cut and blow dry. It looked so sleek, healthy and revived. I’ve already booked in again! The salon itself is beautifully presented, clean, modern and stylish. The team are extremely attentive and went the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable!

Friendly and professional staff. Was very welcomed. My hairdresser “Danny”, did a fabulous job with my highlights. He was also a pleasure to talk to. I was given drinks whenever I needed them and a lovely head massage too. I highly recommend going to this salon.

My appointment yesterday was a breath of fresh air. In the past I’ve had awful experiences where stylists at other salons did not listen and choose to do what they wanted to my hair. Yesterday my stylist Emily was very kind and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She listened to my requests and also made a few suggestions that worked!! I am so happy with the end result, and now feel I have that confidence to go back without worry. Thank you Emily

Beyond thrilled with my experience at Blackheath Hair & Co! Getting platinum blonde is no easy feat, but the amazing team there went above and beyond. Three stylists worked their magic, meticulously layering tones and highlighting until I had the exact icy blonde I was dreaming of. Their expertise and attention to detail were truly impressive, and they made the whole process fun and relaxing. My hair has never looked better, and I can't stop smiling at my platinum perfection!

First time at this salon and will definitely be back. Nadia cut my hair and made the whole experience really pleasant and relaxing. She obviously enjoys hairdressing and took her time making sure I was perfectly happy with the cut. She listened, gave advice but didn't push me and gave me a great precision haircut. I'm extremel fussy and I left perfectly happy which hardly ever happens. I've been to about 20 different salons in Londons and this compared favorably to one in Marylebone where I paid about double the price of this cut. Recommended. (Long hair, had a trim, long layers and straight fringe.)

I'm not a huge fan of getting my hair cut (probably a result of being dragged along to my mum's appointments as a child), but I had an interview for a job I really wanted, so I thought I would splash out. My appointment was with Danny, who last cut my hair in 2018! He gave me a lovely, easy to maintain cut and he also washed my hair, which was so good it was more like a head massage! It wasn't cheap, but it was quality, and if you choose a hairdresser in Blackheath Village you expect to pay more. Best of all, I got the job, so it achieved the objective! I might not leave it 5 years in future...

Fantastic - haven’t been to the hairdressers in about 10 years and after moving to London at the beginning of the year I decided I wanted a change. I finally made an appointment with Danny and he was great. Not only does my hair look fantastic, he was really kind and chatty and just all round lovely, I totally trusted him. All the staff were lovely and it was just such a good vibe. Defo feel like I’ve found my regular hairdressers

My first visit to this salon and because of a recent injury I was in a wheelchair. I was overwhelmed by the kindness of the staff who made my visit as comfortable as possible. My hairdresser was Helen and I was equally overwhelmed by the great haircut she gave me. The cut was fantastic and retained the style after first wash with minimum effort. I am very happy with the service I received and will be making a return visit and definitely recommend Helen as a stylist.

She explained how I should wash my hair correctly, how to dry it and even showed me how to style my hair! It did make my experience wonderful as I was whiter nervous being my first time at a new salon. I will definitely book with Nadia again ❤️

She listens to your needs and provides guidance; understands what you want and how to achieve it. She is fantastic at colouring, and that's where a hair stylist really demonstrates their skills. I wouldn't see anyone else!
