What is a partial vs full Balayage?
What’s the Difference Between Full and Partial Balayage? While a full balayage sees you stroke lightener through the majority of the hair (including top and bottom layers), a partial balayage means you tend to focus on just one area, like the front or the top layers.
How long does partial Balayage last?
A partial Balayage takes 45-90 minutes on average to complete. A full Balayage takes 1.5 – 3 hours on average to finish. Since the technique is applied by hand and no two Balayages are the same, the amount of time can vary greatly. Longer and thicker hair will take longer.
What does half head Balayage mean?
Partial balayage means lightening only a part of the hair, focusing sweeps of lightener – we love Blondor Freelights – through the top layer or face-framing sections only. Not only does this give you a super-subtle balayage effect, but it’s also less time-consuming than colouring all layers of the hair.
How much does a partial Balayage cost?
Partial balayage for short hair—or to highlight only the top layers—costs between $70 to $130, or about $30 cheaper than a full-head of balayage, which is most common for long hair.

How long do partial highlights last?
Keep in mind that due to root growth, all-over coloring will need to be touched up every four to eight weeks, while highlights can last up to two or three months. Ask your stylist about a gloss treatment following your color. This step can really add a boost to the color and make hair shinier.
How often should you get partial highlights?
All over color processes should be done every 3-5 weeks for best results. Sooner really isn’t necessary, and longer will effect the products ability to lift and deposit evenly. Foil highlights should be done every 6-8 weeks depending on how much contrast there is between your highlights and your natural color.
