Welcome to Nazanin Hair Salon

At Nazanin Hair Salon, we often help our clients choose between balayage and highlights based on their lifestyle, hair goals, and maintenance preferences.
Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates soft, natural-looking dimension — think of it as the ultimate “sun-kissed” glow. Since it doesn’t start at the roots and has no harsh lines, it grows out beautifully and requires less maintenance.
Traditional highlights, on the other hand, are applied using foils and offer a more uniform and defined look. They start at the roots and are great for those looking to add bold brightness and contrast.
Not sure which to pick? Our expert colorists at Nazanin Hair Salon in Toronto will guide you based on your hair texture, color history, and personal style.

Yes — and that’s one reason Nazanin Hair Salon clients love it!
Balayage is typically more gentle on your hair because it doesn't require full saturation from root to end. It targets mid-lengths and ends, minimizing chemical stress on your roots and scalp. Plus, since the grow-out is so subtle, you’ll need fewer salon visits — meaning less overall damage in the long term.
Of course, the Nazanin Hair Salon team uses premium, ammonia-free products and bond protectors to keep your hair healthy no matter which technique you choose.

Balayage is famous for its low-maintenance beauty — it can last 3 to 6 months without needing a touch-up! That’s because it grows out naturally with no harsh lines. You might only come in for a toner refresh or a gloss in between.
Highlights, especially root-to-tip ones, need touch-ups every 6 to 8 weeks to keep them looking sharp.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we offer customized maintenance plans and professional advice to keep your color vibrant for as long as possible.

That depends on your goals. Balayage can blend some greys — especially if you’re just starting to see a few strands — by softening their contrast with natural-looking color. But if you’re looking for full grey coverage from root to tip, classic highlights or root coloring may be more effective.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we create hybrid solutions, like “grey blending balayage” or “highlight-root melt combos”, to give you both coverage and a natural, youthful glow.

Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of balayage is its versatility.
Whether you have straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair, balayage can be customized to enhance your natural texture. Even brunettes and black-haired clients can enjoy caramel or chestnut balayage for dimension and depth.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, our stylists are trained in working with diverse hair types and ethnicities, ensuring you get a balayage that celebrates your unique beauty.

In most cases, it’s a process, not a one-time transformation. If your hair is naturally dark or previously colored, achieving a light blonde balayage may require multiple sessions to lift safely without damage.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we take a cautious and professional approach. We prioritize hair health and use bond-building treatments like Olaplex or K18 to protect the integrity of your strands during lightening. Your dream hair is worth the journey — and we’re with you every step of the way.

Balayage wins when it comes to low maintenance. You’ll only need to visit every 3–4 months (or even longer!), whereas highlights may require salon visits every 6–8 weeks to manage root regrowth and fading.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we recommend glossing or toner sessions between full balayage appointments to refresh your tone and add shine. We also offer take-home care kits with sulfate-free shampoos and color-protecting masks to extend your results.

Absolutely — and we always tailor balayage colors to suit your complexion at Nazanin Hair Salon.
Cool skin tones glow with ash blondes, icy beige, or platinum tones. Warm undertones look radiant with caramel, honey, or golden balayage.
Our stylists begin every color service with a personalized consultation, analyzing your skin tone, eye color, and natural hair base to recommend the most flattering tones for a fresh, youthful finish.

Both techniques can enhance volume visually — but balayage often creates a softer, fuller look due to the way light and shadow are painted in. For finer hair types, we recommend multi-dimensional color layering that gives the illusion of movement and body.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we use strategic placement of lighter tones and depth-enhancing lowlights to help your hair look fuller, shinier, and healthier.

Yes, toners are essential! After lightening, your hair can pull unwanted yellow, orange, or brassy tones. A professional toner neutralizes these tones and refines your final color.
At Nazanin Hair Salon, we include toner as part of every balayage and highlight package. We also offer express toner services to keep your shade fresh between full appointments. It's the secret weapon for salon-quality color that lasts.
