Our balayage hairdresser with nearly 20 years of experience will be using the technique tailored to the needs of your hair reducing the strength of chemical use to the minimum. We also use reusable material for balayage and other colour work to minimise pollution of the planet!
At Organic Hairdresser London we mainly use AIRTOUCH technique. The technique provides seamless transition from dark hair to light but unlike Shatush it does not require backcombing and the smaller strands of hair are separated by blowing of the hairdryer.
We also use Handtouch which is a combination or a hybrid of Airtouch and French paint balayage, takes less time time than Airtouch and creates slightly different effect with less blond.
If you are unsure what technique is best for your hair, do not hesitate and book your consultation today!

What is balayage?
This fashion colour technique started in the 70s and was invented by french hairdressers. Balayage is great for various hair types: fine, wavy, curly, frizzy etc.
Balayage can be done for brunettes and blondes, ginger hair, and any hair shade.
The most popular terms used instead of balayage are ombre, baby lights, Airtouch, and shatouch. They are just techniques to create a play of light and darker shades.
Balayage is a variation of highlighting. A hair lightener is applied to separate and quite thick hair strands. Only the strand’s outer layer is dyed, and the middle of the strand remains non-dyed. The stands should not be folded but can be covered with foils or film.
Balayage is performed in 2 stages: lightening the chosen sections and subsequent hair colouring with the toner.
We get the desired pattern, transitions, and the effect of the sun-kissed look. The pattern has well-defined angles and transition lines (compared to other methods).
It is not recommended to do this at home since special skills are required. Find hairdressers that use modern brands of lighteners to minimise the damage to your hair, and of course, if you are in North London, we are here to help!
Shatush is a free-hand technique that involves backcombing sections of hair before colour is applied so that only part of the hair is exposed. The part of the hair to which the bleach or dye is applied can be folded with the foil. Similar to balayage, the result is a soft transition of colour from root to tip. However, the transition is much softer! With Shatush, you need to get better-defined edgy transition lines.
The downside of Shatush is the backcombing, which needs to be combed through later. It can be lengthy, and some clients with sensitive scalps need to take it better.
