Frequently Asked Questions

What is lived-in balayage?

Lived-in balayage is a hair coloring technique that creates a soft, sun-kissed effect that looks natural and grows out seamlessly with no harsh regrowth lines. Unlike traditional highlights, balayage is hand-painted onto sections of the hair to create dimension and movement. The result is a low-maintenance color that looks effortless between appointments.

How is balayage different from highlights?

Traditional highlights use foils to apply colour uniformly from root to tip, creating consistent, high-contrast results. Balayage is hand-painted and more freehand in technique, producing a softer, more natural-looking gradient. Balayage grows out more gracefully and typically requires fewer touch-up appointments than traditional foil highlights.

How long does balayage take at Boho Salon?

A full balayage appointment at Boho Salon typically takes between 2.5 and 4 hours, depending on the starting colour, the degree of lift required, and the client’s natural hair. A toner and blowout are usually included. Boho recommends booking a consultation before a first appointment so the colorist can assess your hair and give an accurate time estimate.

Is balayage safe for damaged or previously coloured hair?

Boho’s colorists are trained to assess the condition of each client’s hair before recommending a service. All colour services at Boho include a K18 bonding treatment, which repairs damage at the molecular level and protects the hair during lifting. In cases of significant damage, the colorist may recommend a phased approach to achieve the desired result safely.

How long does balayage last?

Lived-in balayage can last between 3 and 6 months depending on hair growth and how the colour is maintained at home. The seamless grow-out is one of balayage’s biggest advantages. Boho recommends a gloss or toning appointment every 6 to 10 weeks to refresh the vibrancy of the colour.

Can I get balayage on dark hair?

Yes. Balayage works on all hair colours, including dark brown and black hair. On darker bases, the colorist may use a lightener and tone the result to achieve the desired warmth or cool tone. The level of lift achievable in one session depends on the existing hair colour and condition, Boho’s colorists always prioritise hair health over speed.

What should I do to maintain my balayage at home?

Boho recommends using a sulfate-free, colour-safe shampoo and conditioner (such as Davines or Innersense), a weekly hydrating mask, and a heat protectant before styling. Purple or blue toning shampoos can be used weekly to neutralise any brassiness. The Boho team provides full homecare advice after every colour appointment.

Does Boho offer balayage in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Boho Salon’s Khalifa City branch in Abu Dhabi offers the full range of balayage and colour services. Appointments can be booked via bohosalon.ae or by calling 058 540 6996.
