How is it different from foils?

With balayage, there are no harsh stripes or foil lines. You will no longer have lines of light and dark, light and dark. Like a machine placed your highlights. Keep in mind, with balayage, your haircolor was designed for you. It's not just a pattern of packing in foil.

Is it better for my hair than traditional foils?

Absolutely. Did you know that all professional hair color manufacturers directions for mixing color state to mix in a non-metallic bowl? Why then would you process hair color in metal foil? Metal causes haircolor to oxidize at an incredibly fast rate. Resulting in faster processing times, but more stress to the hair. With balayage, hair is processed at room temperature and allowed to come up in a natural time frame. No dryers. No rushing. Just beautiful, shiny, amazing haircolor.

If my color is usually done with foil, is balayage for me?

Yes. With your first balayage service the difference will be noticeable immediately, and in most cases improve with each application. Remember, with balayage you are not limited to full or partial. 1 or 2 colors. But instead a haircolor experience that was designed especially for you. As individual as your own fingerprint.
