What’s the Difference Between Balayage & Ombré?
Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique that creates a soft, natural gradient from roots to ends. It mimics how the sun would naturally lighten your hair over time—subtle, blended, and beautiful.
Ombré offers a more noticeable transition, often blending dark roots into lighter or more vibrant ends. It’s a perfect style for clients who want a dramatic effect that still feels elegant and low-maintenance.
Not sure which suits you best? Our stylists will guide you through your options to find the perfect look for your hair type, lifestyle, and goals.

Popular Balayage & Ombré Styles We Offer
Here are some of the most requested balayage and ombré styles in Chicago, tailored by our expert colorists at House22 Salon.
Classic Blonde Balayage
Soft, hand-painted blonde highlights that brighten your base color. This go-to look gives effortless beachy dimension and works well for brunettes or dark blondes looking to lighten up.
Caramel or Honey Ombré
A warm, sun-kissed transition from deep roots to golden ends. Ideal for medium or dark hair tones, this blend delivers a rich, flattering contrast.
Ashy or Cool-Toned Balayage
Cool shades like ash blonde, silver beige, or icy platinum create a modern, dimensional look with a lived-in vibe. Especially flattering on cooler skin tones.
Bold Ombré with Fashion Tones
For the adventurous client—rich blends of color that fade into fashion-forward shades like pastel pink, deep violet, or coppery red. High impact, low root maintenance.
Reverse Balayage
Perfect for blondes seeking more depth and definition. Reverse balayage introduces darker tones at the root for a lived-in, shadowed effect that reduces upkeep.
