Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique that paints lighter strokes through your existing brunette base for a sun-kissed, low-maintenance look. The hard part is picking the exact shade — too warm and it skews orange, too cool and it washes you out. Booking the salon to find out costs $200+ and three hours.
This app lets you preview balayage on a selfie before you commit. Pick from caramel, honey, ash, mocha, and 100+ other shades, match it against your skin tone, and screenshot the version you want to bring to your stylist. Skin-tone-matching keeps the highlights realistic — no obvious filter look.
Most users try 4–6 variations before settling. No subscription; you pay per edit, credits never expire.
