What Is Foilyage? The Secret to Seamless, High-Impact Hair Color
Want the softness of balayage with the brightness of highlights? Meet foilyage, we created our signature perfectly hybrid technique that delivers a beautifully blended, dimensional look. At BRUSH Amsterdam, our expert colorists specialize in customizing your hair color to fit your unique style, lifestyle and maintenance needs – and foilyage is one of our favorite techniques to do just that.
So, What Exactly Is Foilyage?
Foilyage combines the freehand painting of balayage with the precision and lift of traditional highlights using foils. This means you get the natural-looking blend and grow-out of balayage, with the added brightness and lift that only foil can achieve. Perfect if you want more contrast or need extra lightness through darker hair.
Why Choose Foilyage?
- Best of both worlds: Soft transitions with bold brightness
- Longer-lasting results: Seamless grow-out means fewer salon visits
- Custom tone and dimension: Tailored for your hair type and color goals
During a consultation prior to your appointment at BRUSH, your colorist will carefully assess your hair, together you can discuss your goals whereafter you'll receive personal advice for the best hair color results. Whether you're transitioning from highlights, updating your balayage, or trying foilyage for the first time, you’ll get a fully customized color experience.
Foilyage vs Balayage vs Highlights
Foilyage is ideal if you love the low-maintenance nature of balayage but want extra brightness, especially through the mids and ends. Unlike traditional highlights, which can create more contrast and maintenance, foilyage blends effortlessly with your base for a more modern, natural finish.
Explore our Balayage vs Highlights blog to learn how these techniques compare – and why we often recommend foilyage as the ultimate upgrade.
