The term ombre comes from the French word “shadow.” It refers to a gradual fading out of color from its darkest shade to its lightest. Sometimes it means having your hair fading from dark brown at the roots to bleached blonde at the ends. Sombre is simply a more subtle version of ombre, and the color transition is more gradual.
Some of our clients combine ombre with balayage highlights for a fantastic look that's called flamboyage. Ombre, sombre and flamboyage are fun and easy ways to liven up your hairstyle.
