For the past 13 years David Murry Salon has been setting Brisbane on fire—one balayage at a time. If you’re looking for hair that screams sun-kissed goddess with a side of sultry, hand-painted perfection then you have found your happy place. When it comes to balayage we’re not just following the trend—we’re owning it. So, get ready to book your appointment because trust us you’re going to want to experience this magic for yourself.
First things first—balayage (pronounced bah-lee-AH-ge) is a French word that literally means “to sweep.” And that’s exactly what we do. We hand-paint each section of hair for a soft, sun-kissed finish that looks like you just stepped out of a beachy vacation. Balayage has moved from trend to classic, and it’s here to stay.
Balayage vs. Highlights vs. Baby lights: The show down isn’t that dramatic!
You’ve probably heard about so many different technique names but the truth is they are all highlighting services but approached uniquely depending on the inspo pic you are working from. Every technique can be amped up and dialled down and that’s where the skill of your painter come into the equation.
Highlights are sectioned, foiled, and give you a predictable, uniform effect. Balayage isn’t your run-of-the-mill highlighting. Balayage is a freehand painting technique where our colour experts literally sweep colour onto your hair in a way that mimics how the sun would naturally lighten it. We’re talking natural, seamless and effortlessly chic. Balayage looks like you woke up like this. Now to confuse things even further some of the best results are a combination of a classic set of highlights with a balayage approach to the ends that were left out which gives you a classic highlighted look up to the route but with a transition to much brighter blonde mid length and ends.
At David Murry Salon balayage isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. Oh no, honey. It’s all about YOU. Our colourists are hair architects mapping out a colour placement that flatters your face shape, enhances your skin tone, and gives you that “wow” factor.
Whether you want soft and subtle or full-on beachy blonde we’ve got you covered. We’re not just applying colour to your hair—we’re contouring it. Think of it like a personal stylist for your strands.
Everyone. Whether you have short, sassy bobbed hair or long, flowing locks, balayage works for you. Dark hair, light hair, curly hair, straight hair—it doesn’t matter. Balayage is your hair’s best friend, and we’ll customize it to suit your look.
And let’s be real—if you’re worried that balayage is just for the 20-somethings, think again. This technique is ageless and it’s all about that natural glow. Balayage can add depth to your hair, brighten up your face and give you a youthful radiance—no matter your age.
You’ve seen the balayage magic all over Instagram and now it’s time to make it happen. If you’re ready to get the hair you’ve always dreamed of then David Murry Salon is waiting for you. Sun-kissed, sultry, and oh-so-sexy—it’s all here.
