What is Balayage Hair Color?
Balayage highlights or Hair Painting has been around for decades but is now becoming the latest trend in the hair industry. Balayage is a french term meaning “to sweep” or “to paint.” Balayage became increasingly popular in the Spring of 2015, finally bringing this great technique to the mainstream. While Balayage has been around for decades, models, musicians and celebrities brought to light the beautiful natural yet bold effect of a masterfully done Hair Painting. This creative way to add dimension to hair is now one of the most sought after hair services in the world.
Balayage highlights give you that “lived in” look with the roots remaining deeper and the lightness slowly increasing down the hair strand, as if from the sun. The hair looks natural and soft, with little to no re-growth lines visible. This hair coloring technique is painted on the surface of your hair, with all over color at the roots if needed. Hair stylists use a freehand technique, painting in the highlights usually without tinfoil, to make the hair color blend seamlessly. It takes an artistic eye, and should work with the haircut to enhance every shape.As your natural color grows in, the highlights create a flawless look as it grows out.
How does the balayage process work?
The balayage process is simple. First, your stylist will wash and dry your hair to get an accurate analysis of your hair type. Then the balayage magic begins! It is important that you have enough time for this service, as it can take up to 4 hours depending on how much color is needed. Many long does the balayage process take?

How Much Does Balayage Cost At Our Las Vegas Hair Salon?
There are several factors that can have an effect on price. Let’s break them down to a couple main factors, time and product costs. The main factors here are the length and thickness of your hair. Hair history also is a factor.
Lightening Process: The first process is most often completed with a professional bleach. Pricing is broken down by a full head or partial head single bleaching process.
Starting Balayage Base Price: Single Process
Hair Length, Thickness
Partial Head
Full Head
Short to Medium Length
$140
$180
Thick Medium to Long
$160
$210
Long Thick
$185
$270
Toning Process: Whenever bleach is used, a toning process is required to create your desired color. A single toning process is $35-$60. More than one toning process may be required to achieve your desired color and may be required if you have long or thick hair.
Bleach Protection Additive: Whenever bleach is used to lighten your hair it is very highly recommend to use a bleach protection additive. This will help tremendously in protecting the health of your hair. A single use additive is $35 for short to medium length hair. For long, thick hair or extensions additive can be $45+.
Hair History: If your hair has been dyed recently or has taken any damage recently this can affect the processes your hair needs as well as product needs to achieve your desired look.
Free Consultation: While the above information helps to demystify pricing, you can always schedule a free consultation for a Balayage in our Las Vegas Salon to get an estimate of what it will cost to achieve your desired look.
An experienced professional hair colorist will oversee the whole lightening process. You hair health is our top priority regardless of the technique you choose. One of our favorite looks keeps the blonde to the middle and ends of your hair, reducing the risk greatly of any damage to your roots—but either way, rest assured that your stylist will keep your hair healthy. As mentioned above we always recommend to use a bleach protective additive for maximum protection.
If you are doing any kind bleach processing regularly, we have many professional hair treatments to keep your hair shiny, healthy and strong that you can book.
Is there anything to be careful about when getting a balayage hair color?
If you have colored your hair recently or are trying to lighten your natural color significantly it is important to schedule an exam with us before booking any appointments. If you are unsure, please call us at 702-979-4468 to make sure it is safe for your hair.
It is hard to determine if someone is a professional without an in-person consultation. We have seen many examples of people walking around with orange, green and yellow tinted hair where you can see the different levels from root to end.
An example of an unprofessional bleach process done at home- orange to green balayage. This is very common and can happen with even the best intentions! If you’ve gotten your hair done like this, book a consultation to find out what we can do for you or just give us a call at 702-979-4468 if this happens so we can determine what went wrong or what kind of damage may have occurred and see what we can do for you!
Don’t worry if these two terms have confused you. It’s common. People often, and incorrectly, use them interchangeably. Ombre is a form of balayage where one color graduates to the next. Most commonly a rooty brown to blonde. Balayage typically is balanced and natural. (Bonus points, a color-melt is the graduation of three or more colors.) So, while all ombre is balayage, not all balayage is ombre.
Tips for maintaining your new look after you’ve had it done
Deep Conditioner: We have a balayage specific deep conditioner that will keep your color fresh and vibrant for weeks to come. It is recommend to get balayage done before you leave on vacation or anytime where you may need to be away from the salon every 4-6 weeks.
Use professional hair products: We carry a wide selection of shampoos and conditioners designed for lightened or highlighted hair. The sun, the pool and chlorine can all take their toll on your new color over time so using salon grade products. A balayage specific deep conditioner to keep your color fresh for weeks!
Lather, Rinse, Repeat: When trying to maintain your balayage it is important to get in the habit of washing every other day. Do not skip on the conditioner.

I recently visited Hottie Hair Salon for a haircut and hair coloring to transition my old balayage to a chocolate brown. While the haircut was great, the color didn't turn out as expected during the initial visit, leaving me a bit disappointed. However, the salon's exceptional customer service truly shone through when they promptly booked me a second appointment to correct the color. Brianna, my stylist, was incredibly sweet, patient, and kind throughout the process. She listened attentively to my concerns and worked diligently to achieve the desired result. In the end, the second attempt was a success, and I left the salon feeling very happy with my new hair color. I truly appreciate Brianna and the salon's commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction.

Brandi (and Leanne coming in clutch) worked nothing short of a miracle on my hair and the blonde balayage turned out AMAZING! All of the staff I met are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The music choice alone is worth 5 stars. Great vibes, even better hair. Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved my experience!! I went to the South location 8790 S. Maryland Parkway.Chris and Leigh Ann did a great job collaborating and communicating with me during the entire process to figure out what was best for my hair. I was used to dying my hair with box products and they really went the extra mile in which steps were best for the look I wanted and to have healthier hair! Great conversation and very clean and professional shop. I got a balayage with blonde, copper, and red! Also Chris didn't use flat irons so that I could maintain my curl pattern and not damage my hair since I bleached it. He rolled it up and sat me under a dryer and brought me to lifeeeee! Super thankful and will be coming back for touch ups.

Absolutely loved my experience! I went to the South location. Chris Doty and Leigh Ann did a great job of collaborating and communicating with me during the entire process. I wanted a balayage, and I had previously not taken the best care of my hair by using box dyes. But they assured me I was in great hands and I really love the end result!! We went blonde, then copper, and then red. Also, since I have naturally curly hair, Chris took that into consideration and decided against flat irons (also because of the bleach in my hair) and instead rolled me up and sat me under the dryer! Really great service, with great conversation, and professionalism. Coming back for touch ups!!

Vanessa is truly Amazing! Not only is she a beautiful person but she really is a COLOR EXPERT! My hair is so thin and she was able to give it so much volume with only two bundles. She matched it perfectly to the original highlights that had grown out to create such a beautiful balayage. I have gotten so many compliments on my hair and now definitely a lifelong client!

I set up an appointment with Brian and he was amazing! Staff makes you feel very at home and comfortable in the salon which is nice when you’re there for 5+ hours 😂 I had a balayage and layers done on my bland boring long hair and now my hair is GORGEOUS and I keep fluffing it at people and yelling “LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM NOW” so yeah, I would highly recommend Hottie Hair.

I was hesitant to dye my hair again especially a balayage because of my previous experiences, but here they know their stuff. Sasha was the one who worked on my hair and she was absolutely amazing & sweet. If you are looking to be seen quick, I highly recommend this place, just make sure you book an appointment! The color I wanted was a mushroom brown color and due to my previous hair dye she did mention the color may not be as light as I’d like but did try to get it to lighten as much as possible without harming my hair. At almost the end she mentioned my hair was longer on one side and said she’d trim it even for me for no charge since it wasn’t a lot which I thought was really nice of her and I greatly appreciated it. Overall I plan on coming back after a few to lighten the mushroom brown a bit more, but I felt my hair was still as healthy as ever, which I’m super happy with! I am absolutely in love with my hair now, it’s just I wanted a lighter color on the ends and I know it’s because I had black at the end which is normal when trying to transition to a lighter color. Trust me when I say if you want to change your hair and because of previous experience you have no luck finding a good hair stylist, I can definitely say you’ll leave super confident out of this salon. I would recommend this place to anyone because the stylists are all super nice and welcoming! Definitely a 10/10!

I booked a last minute appointment with Carmen and she did an excellent balayage on me!! She did exactly what I asked for, she showed knowledge and was very communicative. She made sure that I was happy with the color and made me feel quite comfortable.

I am very happy and for sure will return in the ditirThe salon has a great vibe and everyone is friendly!

I stepped inside for the first time on July 1st for a haircut. I chose hottie hair because I've read a lot of positive reviews, and I was not disappointed. Sasha was so lovely and sweet! She gave me exactly what I had asked for. Thank you! I also spoke with her about color, specifically a balayage. I've been itching to go lighter so she booked me an appointment the next day with Chris. As nervous as I was to go from brunette to blonde balayage, I needed that change and he explained the whole process to me which helped, plus he's too damn funny. Humor is a plus. And at the end of it all the result blew me away. So much so I almost cried. Now every morning I wake up feeling glamorous! Thank you Chris!

Brian was amazing with my hair! Complete transformation from long drab brown hair to fun layers of blonde balayage that blend beautifully with my roots. Everybody is extremely friendly and they know exactly what will look good on you and help you figure out your complete ‘look’ if you need some help. (My hair is honestly 3x more gorgeous in person than in photos too)

I can't believe he changed it from a dark dark brown, to a beautiful blonde with highlights and balayage with dimension in just a few hours. He was the absolute sweetest and I really appreciate his effort! I can't wait to show everyone at work tonight!! 🙂 I will definitely be going back to see Niko. He killed it.
