Effortless, Hand-Painted Color – Balayage in Midlothian VA
Balayage is more than a trend — it’s an art form. At Grey Square Salon, we specialize in creating custom balayage in Midlothian VA that looks natural, dimensional, and completely you. Whether you're seeking a sun-kissed refresh or a full color transformation, our balayage technique offers soft, seamless transitions that grow out beautifully with minimal upkeep.
We combine expert color blending with health-conscious trimming to ensure your hair not only looks stunning but stays strong and healthy.
What Is Balayage?
Balayage (pronounced bah-lay-ahge) is a French coloring technique that involves freehand painting lightener onto the hair for a soft, natural gradient. Unlike traditional foils or highlights, balayage creates a custom, low-maintenance color that mimics the way the sun naturally lightens hair.
Balayage is ideal for:
- A subtle glow-up without harsh regrowth lines
- Brunettes, blondes, and redheads
- Clients seeking an easy-to-maintain color
- Enhancing texture and movement in layered cuts
Personalized for Every Hair Type & Tone
No two balayage clients are the same, and that’s exactly why we customize everything — from your lightening formula to your placement pattern.
We work with:
- All natural base tones (dark, medium, light)
- Wavy, straight, curly, and coily hair types
- Textured or previously colored hair
- Ashy, warm, or neutral color goals
Whether you're looking for a soft caramel melt, a cool ash blonde, or a face-framing bronze shimmer, we’ll mix the perfect tone just for you.

FAQs About Balayage
How long does balayage take?
Depending on your hair length and color goals, a balayage session can take 2.5 to 4 hours. We’ll give you a custom estimate during booking.
How long does it last?
Balayage can last up to 3–4 months or longer. Because it grows out softly, you won’t need as frequent touch-ups as with traditional highlights.
Do I need a toner?
Most balayage services include a toner or gloss to perfect the final shade. We’ll determine what’s needed based on your hair’s condition and desired tone.
Will it damage my hair?
Not when done professionally. We use high-quality lighteners and bond-repair treatments as needed to protect your hair.

Loved my experience at Grey Square. Tiffany takes the time to get to know you and your hair. She takes pride in her trade and is up todate on trends and educates herself on products best for her clients. She did a great job on my haircut and my daughter's hair. I'm looking forward to coming back for color! Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.
