DELRAY BEACH'S #1 BALAYAGE SPECIALIST
Sun-kissed, hand-painted highlights by a master colorist with 20+ years of experience and certifications from the world's top color brands
Balayage (French for "sweeping") is a freehand highlighting technique where color is hand-painted onto the hair, creating a natural, sun-kissed effect that traditional foil highlights simply can't achieve.
Unlike regular highlights, balayage creates a softer, more natural graduation of color - lighter at the ends, gradually blending into your natural color at the roots. This means low-maintenance grow-out and a look that stays beautiful for months.
As a certified Davines educator and Goldwell Academy graduate, Chris David has spent over 20 years perfecting his balayage technique. His signature "air composition color mapping" creates dimension and movement that's uniquely tailored to your features.
Not all balayage is created equal. Here's what sets Chris David apart from other colorists.
Chris has trained hundreds of stylists for Davines, Goldwell, and other top brands. He doesn't just do balayage - he teaches it.
Chris's signature "air composition" technique places color exactly where it needs to be for your unique face shape and skin tone.
Exclusively using Davines sustainable luxury color products - gentle on your hair while delivering stunning, long-lasting results.
20+ years in South Florida means Chris understands how sun, salt, and humidity affect your color - and how to make it last.
Chris's balayage technique means you can go 3-4 months between appointments. Your color grows out gracefully, not awkwardly.
Every balayage starts with an in-depth consultation. Chris takes time to understand your lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and vision.

"My balayage from Chris is absolutely stunning. It looks so natural - like I spent a summer at the beach. And the best part? It's been 3 months and it still looks amazing!"
"I've had balayage at several salons, but Chris is on another level. The dimension and movement he creates is like art. He truly understands color."
"Chris took my brassy, damaged hair and transformed it with a beautiful, cool-toned balayage. My hair has never looked or felt healthier!"
Balayage typically lasts 3-4 months between appointments, though many clients go even longer. Because the color is hand-painted without harsh lines, it grows out naturally and beautifully.
When done correctly by an experienced colorist using quality products like Davines, balayage is actually gentler than traditional highlights. Chris uses bond-building treatments to maintain hair health.
Traditional highlights use foils and create uniform, consistent lightening. Balayage is hand-painted in a sweeping motion, creating softer, more natural-looking dimension with no harsh regrowth lines.
Absolutely! Balayage looks stunning on all hair colors. For dark hair, Chris creates rich caramel, honey, or copper tones that add beautiful dimension while maintaining your natural base.
Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo (Chris recommends Davines products), avoid excessive heat styling, and protect your hair from sun exposure. A gloss treatment every 6-8 weeks keeps color vibrant.
