Balayage is one of the most requested hair color services at Venelle Salon and Spa—and for good reason. It’s low-maintenance, high-impact, and totally custom. Whether you want sun-kissed strands or a dramatic color shift, balayage delivers effortless, modern beauty.

But before you book your balayage in Park Slope, Brooklyn, let’s break down everything you need to know—from A to Z.


💬 A is for Artistry

Balayage is more than a coloring technique—it's an art form. At Venelle, our stylists paint color freehand, blending seamlessly for a natural, lived-in look.

🌟 B is for Blending

No harsh lines here. Balayage creates soft, graduated color that grows out beautifully, so there's no visible root line.

🎯 C is for Custom

Every balayage at Venelle is tailored to your hair type, length, color goals, and skin tone. No cookie-cutter techniques—just personalized results.

⏳ D is for Duration

On average, a balayage appointment can take 2 to 4 hours, depending on your hair's length, texture, and desired outcome. Trust us—it's worth every minute.

🧴 E is for Essentials

We use high-quality, ammonia-free color that maintains the integrity of your hair. Add an Olaplex treatment for extra protection and shine.

👩‍🎨 F is for Face-Framing

Our stylists are trained to enhance your features with strategic light placement—creating brightness and dimension where it counts.
