Balayage & Ombré Hair Colour at Sassy Hair Salon, Wallasey, The Wirral

Looking to update your look with the latest hair colour trends? At Sassy Hair Salon in Wallasey, our expert colourists are trained in the newest balayage and ombré techniques to help you achieve your dream shade whether it's soft and natural or bold and vibrant.

From delicate, sun-kissed highlights and rich copper balayage to trendy pastel ombré shades, we’ll create a custom look that perfectly suits your style.

Wondering why balayage & ombré are so popular? They are among the most requested colour services and for good reason. Balayage offers a softer, more blended alternative to traditional highlights, with hand-painted colour placed exactly where you want it. The result? A natural, low-maintenance look with a softer regrowth line. Ombré is a popular colouring technique because it creates a beautiful, graduated effect that seamlessly blends darker roots into lighter ends. This low-maintenance style grows out naturally, making it perfect for those who want a stylish look without frequent salon visits. Plus, it offers endless customisation, whether you’re after soft, subtle tones or bold, dramatic contrasts.

Whether you’re after warm caramel hues, golden brunette tones, icy blondes, or something bolder like copper balayage, the options are endless—and the results are always stunning.

Please note: We’re a colour responsible salon. For your safety, we require an AAT/skin sensitivity test at least 48 hours before any colour service involving scalp application.

Face Frame Highlights

So, what’s the buzz about this top trending hair colour? Face frame highlights also known as “money piece highlights” are making a bold return, inspired by the iconic looks of the ‘90s. This statement style features brighter, chunkier strips of colour strategically placed around the face to instantly illuminate your features and add dimension to your hair.

Often paired with a contrasting base shade, face-framing colour draws attention to the eyes and cheekbones, acting almost like a built-in spotlight for your face. It’s no wonder they’re being called ‘supermodel highlights,’ with style icons like Cindy Crawford rocking auburn hair with light blonde streaks and Geri Halliwell turning heads with her signature bold blonde front pieces during the Spice Girls era.

Today’s version is more versatile than ever. No matter if you prefer soft, sun-kissed tones for a natural glow or bold, vibrant shades for a high-impact finish, face frame highlights can be tailored to suit every style and personality. It’s a quick, high-impact update that can totally refresh your look without the commitment of a full head of colour.

Money Piece Colour

The money piece colour trend is all about making a statement. This high-impact technique involves lightening the front sections of your hair usually a shade or two (or more!) lighter than the rest to create a striking frame around the face. The result? A radiant, eye-catching effect that instantly enhances your facial features.

One of the biggest perks of the money piece technique is its versatility. Whether your hair is long, short, curly, or straight, the look can be tailored to complement your face shape, hair type, and haircut. You can go subtle with soft, sunlit blonde tones or dial up the drama with vivid fashion shades like pink, purple, blue, or even copper.

Looking for something more classic? Warm caramel or honey hues work beautifully for brunettes, while icy platinum or ash blonde pops against darker bases for a cool contrast.

It’s low maintenance too, because the colour is concentrated around the front, you can go longer between full colour appointments while still enjoying a fresh, modern edge to your look.
