Are Balayage and Ombre the same thing?
Our clients often want to know if balayage and ombre are the same thing. The answer is: they are not.
So, what's the difference? To put it simply, balayage is a hand-painted application of highlights usually intended to make your hair look like it is sun-kissed. You know, that "late summertime" look. Ombre is a two-toned hair color effect that is typically darker at the roots and lighter at the ends. Ombre can be very dramatic or quite subtle depending upon your wishes.
