Balayage or highlights in Coral Gables: which should you book?

Short answer: book balayage if you want effortless, hand-painted highlights with a natural, sun-kissed finish, and highlights if you want precision-applied accents that brighten and add dimension. Both are available at Avant-Garde Salon & Spa, 155 Miracle Mile, and at Portfolio Salon, 281 Miracle Mile, in Coral Gables.

What is the difference between balayage and highlights?

Balayage is painted on by hand for a soft, natural-looking result. Highlights are placed with precision to brighten your color and add dimension. If you're not sure which suits your hair, your colorist will talk it through with you at the start of the appointment.
