At Salon East, we specialize in creating stunning hair color transformations that enhance your natural beauty and reflect your personal style. Located in the heart of The Hamptons, our award-winning salon offers both Balayage and Foil Highlights—two of the most sought-after techniques in hair coloring. Whether you’re looking for a soft, sun-kissed glow or bold, dimensional highlights, our team of expert colorists is here to bring your vision to life.

Balayage is a French word meaning “to sweep” or “to paint,” and it’s exactly how this technique is applied. Unlike traditional methods, balayage involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair, creating a soft, natural transition that mimics the way the sun naturally lightens hair. This freehand technique allows for a more customized look, with the ability to strategically place highlights that best complement your haircut and facial features.

Why Choose Balayage?

• Natural Look: The gradual transition of color from dark to light gives a naturally sun-kissed appearance, perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance yet glamorous look.
• Customization: Balayage is incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit any hair length, color, or texture. Whether you want subtle highlights or a more dramatic effect, our skilled colorists will create a look that’s uniquely yours.
• Low Maintenance: Because balayage grows out beautifully and doesn’t leave a harsh line of demarcation, it requires less frequent touch-ups than traditional highlights, making it a great option for those with busy lifestyles. 

Foil highlights are a classic technique that never goes out of style. This method involves sectioning off the hair and applying color to specific strands, which are then wrapped in foil to process. Foil highlights offer a more precise application, allowing for bold contrasts and a well-defined look.

Why Choose Foil Highlights?

• Precision and Control: Foil highlights provide more control over the placement and saturation of color, making it ideal for achieving uniform highlights or creating bold, contrasting streaks.
• Dimensional Color: This technique is perfect for creating multi-dimensional color, adding depth and richness to your hair. Whether you want a subtle shimmer or a striking color transformation, foil highlights can achieve the desired effect.
• Versatility: Foil highlights can be used to enhance your natural hair color, create a striking contrast, or blend in gray hairs. They’re suitable for all hair types and lengths, offering a versatile solution for those looking to refresh their look.
