Balayage in Maroochydore
MAROOCHYDORE BALAYAGE
Blended colour that looks natural and effortless? That’s the magic of balayage. At Strut Hair & Beauty in Maroochydore, we create customised balayage looks that complement your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle. Whether you want soft ribbons of light or bold contrast, each hand-painted application is placed with purpose.
Unlike traditional foils, balayage grows out with less maintenance and softer regrowth lines — perfect for those after a modern, low-fuss finish. We use salon-grade lighteners and toners to protect your hair’s condition while achieving multi-dimensional results. No two balayage services are the same.

Lived In Colour That Feels Personal
Balayage gives you the freedom to personalise your colour — not just the shade, but the way it flows through your hair. Our stylists consider how your hair moves, where the light hits, and what look you want to achieve before applying a single stroke.
We work with natural brunettes, creamy blondes and even fashion tones to create contrast and depth without harsh lines. For new clients, a consultation helps determine whether full balayage, face-framing pieces or a soft blend is best suited to your goals.
Maintenance options range from simple gloss refreshes to occasional toning. Whether you’re trying balayage for the first time or perfecting a signature look, we’ll create something truly yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is balayage and how is it different from highlights?
Balayage is a freehand colouring technique where lightener is painted onto the hair to create a soft, sun-kissed effect. Unlike traditional highlights, which use foils for uniform brightness, balayage creates a more natural, blended look. It grows out with less noticeable regrowth, making it ideal for those wanting low-maintenance colour with multidimensional depth and softness.
How long does balayage last before it needs a touch-up?
Balayage can last up to 3–4 months, depending on your hair type, colour contrast and how quickly your hair grows. Since the technique leaves a soft transition between your natural colour and lightened sections, it grows out gracefully. Toning every 6–8 weeks helps keep the colour fresh and eliminates brassiness, especially for blonde or lighter shades.
Can balayage work on dark hair?
Yes, balayage can be done on dark hair to add depth, brightness or subtle contrast. Stylists may use warmer tones like caramel or copper for a soft transition, or gradually lift the colour over multiple sessions for lighter results. The effect can range from barely-there glow to high-contrast drama, depending on your desired outcome and hair health.
