Discover the Beauty of Natural Balayage NYC


Natural balayage is all about enhancing your hair’s natural tones with subtle, hand-painted highlights that mimic the sun's natural lightening. Unlike foil highlights, balayage is a freehand-painted technique that allows for a more customized, organic look. This technique works well on all hair types and colors, from dark brunettes to light blondes, and even on gray hair for a soft blending effect.


AlbertColor, located in Midtown Manhattan near Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, specializes in this artful approach. Albert Narcisse’s calm and intuitive method ensures that each balayage is tailored to your lifestyle and personal style. The result is a polished yet effortless finish that looks like you, only better.
