What is the difference between balayage and highlights?

Traditional highlights are painted into foils for an even, all-over lift. Balayage is hand-painted onto the surface for a softer, sun-kissed look with a more natural grow-out. We do both, and we often combine the two — foilayage — for clients who want lift plus blend.

How often do I need to come in for balayage?

Balayage is designed for a soft grow-out, so most clients refresh every 12 to 16 weeks. Some go up to 6 months between full balayage appointments with a quick toner refresh in between.

Will my balayage look too brassy in Florida sun?

Florida sun and saltwater are real enemies of cool tones. We finish every balayage with a custom toner and recommend a purple shampoo routine so your blonde stays bright between visits.

What This Service Actually Includes

Money piece highlights are concentrated foil highlights placed at the front of the hair to frame the face. Sometimes we lift them to bright blonde for a sharp contrast. Sometimes we keep them softer for a sun kissed effect. They can be added to balayage, foils, all over color, or stand alone.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

A stand alone money piece runs 90 minutes to two hours including consultation, foil application, processing, toner, and finishing blowout. Added to another color service, it adds 30 to 45 minutes. Most clients refresh every 8 to 12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Money Piece Highlights in Vero Beach

How bright should my money piece be?

Depends on your contrast tolerance, your skin tone, and the rest of your color. We will recommend a level based on what flatters your face and works with the rest of your hair.

Can a money piece be added to balayage?

Yes. We often combine a money piece with balayage to give the front extra impact while keeping the rest soft and lived in.

Will it look stripey?

Not when it is placed correctly. A good money piece is positioned to catch light naturally, not to stripe across the face.

How much does it cost?

It depends on whether it is a stand alone service or added to another color. We give clear pricing at consultation.

Will my money piece grow out badly?

Because it is foiled at the very front, you will see the grow out line earlier than balayage. Most clients refresh every 8 to 12 weeks.
