Every colourist will have a slightly different take on the Ombre look. From a more subtle balayage to the dramatic transition between two different colours, what matters is the result you want to achieve.
What is the difference between ombre and highlights?
Ombre is a technique that blends two or more colours together. It is done by lightening the hair from root to tips. As we go lighter, the client will have more of the lighter colour at the tips, and less of it towards the roots. The result is an appearance of shading or gradation from dark to light.
Highlights are a common type of hair colouring that involves adding streaks of lightened hair to your natural hair colour. Highlights are usually added near your face as they create an illusion of larger eyes and cheekbones.
What is the difference between balayage and ombre?
The definition of ‘Ombre’
By definition, the word ombre is French for ‘shadow or shade’. Interpreting this through the lens of hair styles, it means to cast a shadow. Think from dark to light (or light to dark). An obvious and often dramatic transition not just from one shade, but from one colour to another.
The definition of ‘Balayage’
Again, balayage is a French word. It means ‘to sweep’. Think of a gentle yet long brush stroke of paint onto a canvas. The colour fades out gradually, with an elegant and swept look.
You could consider an ombre one of many different balayage techniques.

How long does ombre last in your hair?
Your ombre colour may last for approximately three months. It will grow out. Also, depending on lifestyle factors, the type of shampoo/conditioner you use, if you swim in salt or chlorine water, will all impact the length of time the colour stays in your hair.
It is important to take good care of your coloured hair. This will ensure that your hair colour lasts longer. We can get you advice on this.
