Balayage & Foils in Gisborne

From sun-kissed balayage to precision foils, Salted Studio creates natural-looking highlights and dimension that complement your style. Our stylists are experienced in a range of techniques — half head, full head, scattered foils, and freehand balayage — so we can recommend the approach that best suits your hair.

Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates soft, blended highlights with a natural grow-out. Foils offer more structured, defined placement for maximum lift and contrast. Scattered foils are perfect for a subtle, lived-in look.

All foil and balayage services can be customised with add-ons like base colour, toner, or a cut to complete your look in a single visit.
