Whether you’re looking for that sun-kissed lightness, ready for a summer getaway, or a warmer, richer autumnal look to shimmer during the darker months, Foilyage delivers perfectly, without the risk of over-processing the hair.
So, what is the difference between Foilyage and Balayage? To start with, both hair colouring techniques produce startling, feel-good results every time. But, there is a distinct difference with Foilyage hair colour, and it’s this difference that’s taking the hairdressing world by storm.
The difference between Balayage and Foilyage is Balayage is purely a freehand hair colouring technique that creates various dimensions of natural-looking colour, whereas Foilyage goes one step further, by wrapping the freehand colouring of Balayage in foil, to create a more natural, subtle lift to the original Balayage colouring.

As with Balayage, Foilyage colouring will take anything from 3 to 5 hours, depending on the level of treatment required. For more information on the duration of your individual Foilyage colouring, speak to our reception team and they will book you in for a consultation with one of our specialists.
The main benefits of Foilyage hair colouring are that it gives you a low-maintenance, natural, lived-in look that lasts, and that it doesn’t leave the foil line sometimes left after traditional foil-highlighting treatments.
Like any colouring process, aftercare of your Foilyage colour is important, both to care for the overall health of your hair for future Foilyage colouring, and to maintain the gorgeous look Foilyage colouring provides.
Below are a few tips to help you maintain your Foilyage hair in between appointments and ongoing.
Your stylist will recommend a shampoo, conditioner and intense conditioning treatment for you and will explain how to use them and how frequently – this helps to keep your Foilyage hair in good condition and looking its best in between Foilyage appointments every 3 to 4 months.
Use a toning shampoo – When used weekly, a good quality toning shampoo, helps maintain the Foilyage colour and the natural lift of the Balayage colouring.
Regular trim – have a trim every 6 to 8 weeks to keep your hair strong, healthy and to stop those ends from splitting.
As always, at Mosaic Hair Studio, our experienced stylists and Master Colour Experts will have all the professional guidance and advice you need about Foilyage, or any other hair colouring aftercare, to ensure your hair colouring experience lives up to your high expectations.
