How they differ
Highlights are placed in foils in a structured pattern from close to the root. The result is uniform, noticeable brightness, and a clear line of regrowth as your hair grows.
Balayage is painted on by hand, usually starting a little away from the root and heavier toward the ends. The result is softer and more natural, with no harsh regrowth line.
Upkeep between visits
Highlights usually want a refresh every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the root looking clean. Balayage can often go 3 to 4 months between appointments, which is why busy clients love it.
Either way, a color gloss ($55) between visits refreshes tone and shine, and a keratin treatment ($250) smooths frizz in Florida humidity.
