Discover balayage techniques at Paul Edmonds London
For those that don't know, 'balayage' is a French word meaning 'paint' or 'sweep'. The technique involves painting colour directly onto the hair in a free-hand method, tailoring the colour placement to suit the fall of the hair and style of the cut. The finish is multi-tonal and subtle, so your colour appears more natural and lived in rather than bright and dramatic.
Of course, balayage isn't your only colour option. Our extensive colour service menu is tailored to help you achieve your desired look, be it wild or mild.

Before you book…
Tempted to book your new look? Before you dive in and select a colour service, we ask all new colour clients to come into the salon for a 30-minute consultation. This is to make sure we understand your vision and what you want the finished result to look like.
We'll assess your hair and ask about important details, like allergies and which product ingredients you'd rather avoid. It means we can have everything ready for you on the day, perfectly tailored to your hair and your desired look. We'll also perform an allergy test to make sure our products are safe for use on your skin and hair.
The allergy test process for colour appointments at Jack's level is very prescriptive. Because the turnaround on these tests are so long and his residence so short, Jack will only be able to take appointments with existing Paul Edmonds London colour clients.
All's not lost — every member of our colour team is exceptional in their craft and will be delighted to help you achieve your new colour. Browse the team page and book an appointment with your chosen expert today. We look forward to seeing you soon!
