Ombre in Vake, Tbilisi - Bold Dark-to-Light Gradient

Ombre is a gradient from dark roots to lighter ends, with a more visible transition line and a bolder, statement look. Balayage is hand-painted highlights woven through the mid-lengths and ends for a softer, sun-kissed result with no clear line. Ombre needs touch-ups every 8 to 12 weeks; balayage is more grow-out friendly at 12 to 16 weeks. Both are done freehand at Ann Maison. If you are unsure which suits you, see our balayage page or ask during the consultation.
