What’s The Difference Between Ombré & Balayage?
The team of hair colour specialists at Fringe Benefits are often asked, ‘balayage or ombré – which one is right for me?’ Understandably, confusion may arise when trying to distinguish between these two hair colour technique.
Balayage provides natural-looking, sun-kissed hair colour and is a great hair colouring technique to try if you are nervous about dying your hair or new to colouring your hair. While Ombré hair colour is defined as when your hair colour gradually blends from one colour to another.
Sun Kissed Balayage Hair Colour
Our expert colourists use a ‘freehand’ technique to create the ultimate hair colour trend; balayage. Balayage gives you a more sun-kissed look with highlights painted onto your hair usually around the face, with a few well-placed colours woven throughout your hair.
Choose either natural contouring or go bolder with brighter colours, balayage can also be created using fashion colours such as pretty pastels or bold vibrant tones.

Ombré Hair Colour
Also known as colour melting, the ombre look is where the top of your hair fades into a lighter shade at the tips, whether this is brunette to blonde ombre or bright red to pastel pink ombre! The look can be as bold or as subtle as you wish!
Our expert colourists can use a freehand technique to create the latest, Ombré and colour melt look to suit you.
Root Shadowing & Root Stretching
If you are looking for a low maintenance hair colour than why not try root stretching with balayage? Root stretching is a technique we use to gently blend your natural root colour with a lighter colour. We can 'stretch' your roots and add multi-dimensional shades, growing lighter towards the ends of your hair for an on-trend balayage look.
