Brown balayage is a free-hand technique that adds gorgeous depth and dimension to brown hair, from subtle caramel hues to rich bronze hues that complement various skin tones.

Create depth with cool-toned chestnut brown balayage by painting in waves or curls for an easy low maintenance option that works wonders with curls and waves.

Cinnamon Brown

Cinnamon Brown is an ideal way for brunettes seeking an earthy yet softly blended sun-kissed look, featuring earthy red tones paired with lighter cinnamon highlights for an authentic sun-kissed effect. This shade works on all types and textures but especially stands out on thicker locks; wear it loose or in braids to show off its multidimensional hue!

Chocolate Brown Balayage adds depth and richness to dark brunette locks with this color technique that expertly blends dark chocolate tones with auburn highlights for an eye-catching style that’s vibrant yet refined. Perfect for brunettes with darker complexions, this look works great on all hair lengths but looks especially stunning when worn long like Hailey Baldwin has.

If you’re a natural brunette looking to lighten your locks, why not give Rachel Bodt’s subtle balayage melt a try? She created this exquisite combination of brown and blonde highlights with face-framing highlights for an irresistibly summertime glow!

Sun-Kissed Brown

Few looks are as radiant as sun-kissed brown hair, which lends itself perfectly to fall’s most sought-after color trends ranging from dimensional brunettes to golden glass manes.

Highlight-free balayage creates an ultra-natural look, as your stylist freehand paints lighter streaks on each strand. They can also tailor their placement according to specific areas such as face frames or mid-lengths for enhanced customization.

If you want something even brighter, consider opting for a high-contrast balayage shade like Joan Smalls has here. Her ashy chocolate brown base transitions perfectly into caramel blonde streaks for an eye-catching finish.

Foilayage is a variation of balayage, in which your colorist wraps individual sections of hair in foil before freehand painting highlights over them. This style creates more defined and uniform results and fits all lengths; however, more maintenance may be needed due to more visible regrowth than with balayage; our BlondorPlex bond-strengthening formula helps prevent breakage during lightening for healthy-looking strands.

Toffee Brown

Toffee brown gives brunettes an luxurious yet sophisticated appearance, perfect for those seeking an understated yet luxurious hue. This beautiful take on cinder toffee brunette features dark chocolate roots with honey-toned balayage highlights that shimmer like golden tinsel on its ends.

Toffee brown highlights offer a stunning cool-to-warm contrast that flatters all skin tones, regardless of preferred cool or warm undertones. Patricia Nikole used Blondor Magma on Patricia’s dark espresso hair before using Koleston Perfect Shadow Lights formula 6/97 on roots and 8/71 +9% throughout midlengths and ends for this beautiful balayage that brings toffee brown tones into every part.

If your clients prefer a higher-contrast brown balayage look, consider creating a bronde style with warm copper tones like the look Joan Smalls rocked. With a balayage technique you can gradually transition from dark to medium to light blonde strands for easier grow-out and reflecting more natural light on them. To keep their dream color vibrant until their next salon appointment, recommend they shampoo with INVIGO Brilliance Color Protection Shampoo followed by VIBRANTCOLOR Conditioning Mask to maintain it until then!

Dark Brown

Dark brown balayage offers a subtler, blended style than traditional highlights, making it the ideal option for brunettes looking to lighten their natural hue without going too blonde. There’s an extensive variety of shade combinations in dark brown balayage so that you’re sure to find one suitable for both your hair type and complexion.

Cool tones such as platinum blonde combined with a dark brown base create an eye-catching and dynamic style, seen on celebrities such as Hailey Bieber. This type of balayage works especially well on curly locks because its blend of colors accentuates each curl while creating dimension.

Warmer blonde tones pair beautifully with dark brown balayage, as evidenced by Kerry Washington’s summer locs and Joan Smalls’ copper highlights. This look may also suit those seeking to avoid the high contrast effect associated with blonde highlights while maintaining their sun-kissed aesthetic.
