We’ll be upfront with you, this guide is jam-freakin’-packed with exceptional, applicable info that you need to become a balayage beauty pro, but we also know that it’s kinda hard to commit to downloading something like this if you don’t know what’s in it.

Not only will you—finally—get the inside scoop on how the heck to pronounce balayage (minor, but important), but you’ll also get some background on the balayage style, a look at what got the trend going, and some insight on why it’s the ultimate, go-to look for so many people. Consider this your much-needed balayage history lesson.

Clear Directions on How to Talk to Your Clients About Balayage
That background we offer you in the first part of the guide will help you do this, but we have an entire section in the eBook dedicated to really sealing the deal on balayage with your clients (new and regulars).
Consider this section your go-to, all-inclusive, comprehensive marketing guide to get the ball rollin’ on balayage as part of your service list.
Tips & Tricks to Becoming a Balayage Master
We can write down all the steps in the world, but if we’re not giving you actionable tips and new techniques to try, we’re doing you a disservice. Luckily, we don’t believe in doing our beauty babes any disservices—so you better believe this guide is filled with techniques to help you master the balayage.
It’s truly an art form, and while you can’t always teach every aspect of art, this section is going to help you understand balayage better than ever—especially through a creative lens that’s so necessary to completing a gorgeous balayage look.
A Breakdown of the Different Types of Balayage (Must-Know Info)
We def hint at this in the earlier sections of the eBook, but we take it full-breakdown style and hammer out the differences between the different types of balayages and techniques.
Why is it so important? Because you need to know how to get your clients what they want. If someone comes in for a full-on Balayage but you opt for giving them an accidental ombre, it’s likely they’re not going to be thrilled.
Knowing what your clients want and being able to recommend the right style and technique are all things that show your target market that you’re a badass beautician who knows what they’re doing.
