Q&A with style creator, Lauren Robinson
Redken Certified Colorist & Master Stylist @ Design 1 Salon and Spa in Portage, MI


How would you describe this?

This cute little asymmetrical bob has tons of added texture on the inside to add movement without shortening the layers on the silhouette that is a tiny bit longer than jaw length. The raspberry color is perfect for ladies who always want funky colors while maintaining “acceptable work hair color.” This balayage short hair color really is a showstopper for shine and pushing the edge just enough to feel comfortably bold.

What’s your best advice?

It’s a very wearable short haircut for fine haired women, especially because it has a more full baseline! Change the length depending on if you have a strong or soft jaw and again, voila! Color like this can’t be washed often so it’s more for women who are into no-poo routines or wash 2-3 times a week.

Golden Blonde Balayage for Short Curly Hair

28 Most Stunning Balayage Short Hair Color Ideas

@thecurlninja

Q&A with style creator, Stephanie Lieblich Mero
Independent Hairstylist in Orlando, FL


How would you describe this?

This short ‘do is a full head of warm dimensional painted highlights and a stacked curly bob with bangs. If you want this short balayaged hair, book a full balayage highlight and curl shaping. Find a stylist who only uses balayage on short hair (in French it means, “to sweep”) because it’s more gentle on the hair than foil highlights. It doesn’t conduct heat as foil does which can cause the hair to overprocess and damages the curls. The result is a dimensional balayage highlight with lots of different tones in one process!

What’s your best advice?

Be sure you’re okay with an uncertain result. Since balayage (a true balayage, not foils used to try and create a dimensional look) does not use foil to conduct heat, you won’t be guaranteed a blonde result unless you have never processed your hair and have naturally blonde hair. Sometimes it takes multiple sessions to get to blonde, especially if you have naturally dark hair.

Make sure you choose a stylist who is a strong colorist and can tone out unwanted brass if your hair lifts to a color you won’t be pleased with. Toning is really where the magic happens in this process since really anyone can lighten hair, but not everyone knows how to properly tone to a beautiful result!

That being said, once you have reached your color goal, this balayage for shorter hair is very low maintenance as it grows out beautifully. You could go 3-12 months between touchup appointments depending on how tight their curls are (tighter curls take much longer to see the natural root come in).

Ash Blonde Balayage Highlights

28 Most Stunning Balayage Short Hair Color Ideas

@chloedoeshairla

Q&A with style creator, Chloe Thomas
Color Specialist @ Salon Benjamin in West Hollywood, CA


How would you describe this?

This is a series of mushroom brown ash blonde balayage. If you want it more silvery than brown, play around with formulating with similar tones.

The money piece trend is in and women are very vocal about wanting a money piece.

Also, when getting a haircut the same day, do the haircut first. Then do the color application. It’s a nightmare when you do such beautiful color and then all the bright bold pieces are gone.  Style it with beachwaves, it’s the best way to show off the color and the tones of the hair.

What’s your best advice?

Be mindful that these balayage highlights may not be achieved in one session. Be prepared to be there for about 4-5 hours, especially if you have darker hair.  Rushing through this is the worst thing you can have your hairstylist do.

It’s definitely a high maintenance color so investing on products is a must. Try Isles Formula Shampoo, Conditioner and their Finishing Serum. It enhances the color and you can go a week without washing.

Caramel and Chocolate Balayage

28 Most Stunning Balayage Short Hair Color Ideas

Q&A with style creator, Christina Burnett
Stylist & Colorist @ Laboratory Hair Studio in Morristown, NJ


How would you describe this?

If it’s your first time getting highlights consider going with a balayage on your shorter hair for a low maintenance color with a soft honey tone. Adding the highlights will accent your cut, so opt for a short, slight A-line bob with some soft layering for movement.

What’s your best advice?

This is a great example of how to balayage short hair, as almost any woman can wear even taking it a little shorter or longer. It has an easy effortless style with a shape that works for most hair types with styling options. With a blow out balm, you can do a smooth blow out. Then the next morning you can wand some loose waves with a little dry texture spray or scrunch some mousse in for a natural wave.
