Balayage on Long Island
Hand-painted, sun-kissed color by a French-trained master colorist with 25+ years of experience. No bleach. No harsh chemicals. Just beautiful, natural-looking dimension.
Long Island’s Hand-Painted Color Expert
Balayage is not just a technique — it’s an art form. The word itself is French for “sweeping,” and at Tomy B. Salon in Williston Park, that’s exactly what we do: hand-paint color onto your hair in sweeping, freehand strokes that create soft, natural-looking dimension you can’t get from foils alone.
Tomy Biton trained in France, where balayage originated, and has spent over 25 years refining his approach for every hair type, texture, and skin tone. Whether you want subtle, sun-kissed warmth or bold, high-contrast dimension, every balayage at our salon is custom-designed for you — never cookie-cutter, never from a formula chart.
What makes our balayage different from other salons on Long Island is what goes into the color itself. We use Italian-made pure pigment formulas with no bleach, no PPDs, and no harsh chemicals. Clients travel from Manhasset, Great Neck, Garden City, Old Westbury, Roslyn, and across Nassau County specifically for Tomy’s hand-painted color work — because the results look natural, feel healthy, and grow out beautifully without harsh lines.
Why Clients Choose Us for Balayage
Frequently Asked
How much does balayage cost at Tomy B. Salon?
Classic balayage starts at $500 and balayage with toner or tint starts at $650. Final pricing depends on hair length, thickness, and condition. All first-time clients receive a complimentary consultation where Tomy will give you an exact quote before any work begins.
What is the difference between balayage and highlights?
Traditional highlights use foils to create uniform, evenly spaced streaks of color. Balayage is hand-painted freehand, creating softer, more natural-looking dimension that mimics the way the sun naturally lightens hair. Balayage also grows out more gracefully, requiring less frequent touch-ups.
Will balayage damage my hair?
Not at Tomy B. Salon. We use Italian pure pigment color with no bleach, no PPDs, and no harsh chemicals. Every balayage appointment includes a lipid or collagen treatment to protect and strengthen your hair during the process. Most clients leave with hair that feels better than when they walked in.
How long does a balayage appointment take?
Typically 2–3 hours depending on hair length and the desired result. This includes a consultation, treatment, color application, processing time, toning (if included), and styling.
How often do I need to come back for maintenance?
One of the best things about balayage is the low maintenance. Because there are no harsh lines at the root, most clients come back every 3–4 months. A toner refresh between appointments can keep your color looking fresh for even longer.
Can I get balayage on dark hair?
Absolutely. Tomy specializes in creating beautiful, natural dimension on all hair colors and types — including dark brown and black hair. The key is using the right technique and the right pigments, which is where 25 years of experience makes all the difference.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes — all first-time balayage clients start with a complimentary consultation. Tomy will assess your hair’s current condition, discuss your goals, and give you an honest timeline and price estimate. No pressure, no obligation.
