Scanning
Discover the magic of Balayage: Subtle Art of Hairdressing
Scanning is a coloring technique that uses a touch of colour that is lighter than your natural color on the selected strands, using freehand scanning movements. Unlike traditional coloring techniques that cover the entire head, the scan specifically targets the wicks chosen to create a sun effect subtly embracing your hair.
One of the great advantages of scanning is its ability to deliver natural and personalized results.
Our hairdressers will work with you to choose the shades that best complement your basic color and complexion. That you want an effect « beach return » with golden shades or a softer appearance with ash tones, scanning can be adapted to your desires.
One of the most significant aspects of scanning is easy maintenance. Since the roots are not completely coloured, the regrowth is much less visible and so you can more space your visits to the hairdresser. This makes it an ideal option for people with an active lifestyle or those who prefer a more relaxed hair care.
Whether you have short, medium-long or long hair, scanning can be adapted to all hair lengths. It also works well on all types of hair, whether smooth, curly or wavy. This versatility makes scanning accessible to a wide range of people.
