Balayage is not just another colouring technique. It is a philosophy. An aesthetic approach that focuses on naturalness, gradation and subtle shine. If you are looking for a result that does not look "dyed", but bright, elegant and perfectly adapted to your face, then balayage at the Prekas Salons is the ideal choice for you.
With a presence in three locations in Athens — Eftychidou 35 (Pangrati), Filolaou 94 and Leof. Athinon 93-97 (inside Sklavenitis) — the Prekas Salons have become a point of reference for quality women's care and specialised colour techniques such as balayage.
What is balayage?
It is a free-hand hair lightening technique, without strict borders or lines. The colour is applied strategically, to give the feeling that the sun has naturally lightened your hair. Unlike traditional highlights, balayage does not require foil or even distribution. It is more "alive", more flexible and – most importantly – more personal.
Why choose balayage at the Prekas Salons
Expertise in the technique and absolute naturalness
Our team has many years of experience in applying the balayage technique. With a steady hand, creativity and an artistic eye, we apply the colour in a way that respects your base colour, the texture of your hair and the structure of your face.
Personalisation at every level
We do not apply "one balayage for everyone". We carefully study the shades of your base colour, your skin tone, the shape of your features and, of course, your personal style. This way, the result is unique – just like you.
High-quality products
We use professional products, selected for their effectiveness and safety. The lightening is done in a way that protects the hair, minimises damage and leaves hair soft, healthy and shiny.
Colour with longevity and graceful growth
One of the main advantages of balayage is that it ages beautifully as your hair grows. It does not create harsh roots, nor does it require frequent maintenance. This means fewer appointments, lower cost and lasting freshness.
Consultation and after-care
The experience does not end when the application is finished. We make sure to guide you in the proper care of your hair at home: which shampoo to use, how often to use a mask, when a gloss or a tone refresh is needed.
Honesty and responsibility
If your hair is damaged or your base does not allow for safe lightening, we will not risk it. We will suggest alternatives or intermediate solutions with complete transparency and the aim of preserving the health of your hair.
An atmosphere that relaxes you
At whichever of our three salons you find yourself, you will feel comfort and familiarity. The space is warm, the service friendly and the sense of care complete – from the welcome to the very last strand.
Balayage does not mean excess. It means finesse.
Many women avoid colouring because they fear a dramatic change. Balayage, when done right, is the ideal middle ground: it gives shine and renewal without altering your natural look. It is the perfect solution for those who want something subtle yet meaningful.
At the Prekas Salons, balayage is not a service — it is expertise.
If you are in Athens and are looking for a result that will not look "technical" but natural, clean and elegant, then we invite you to visit us. We will work out together what suits you and make sure you leave with a colour that expresses you perfectly.
