A pink balayage gives hair a natural-looking rosy or pale red hue. Depending on the intensity of the tones, this hair color can give you an effortless romantic style or a bold look that stands out.
Elle Bruno, a hair colorist from Nutley, NJ, shared her top suggestions for ladies trying this fashion color.
💡 Key Things to Know First
- Hair goals can be unrealistic in one session, so be patient.
- Understand how much maintenance will go into your desired look. Make sure it’s the color you can keep up with and enjoy in the coming weeks.
- Come back to the salon two weeks after the initial service.
- Avoid washing the hair every day to prevent fading. Washing it with color-treated shampoo and conditioner, along with cool water, is key.
- Redkens Acidic Bonding shampoo and conditioner are great. And, FUSIO-Dose by Kerastase, too!
- Here’s a recap. During the consultation, these are the questions to ask your stylist:
- What will the maintenance look like?
- After achieving my desired look, how long should I wait before changing my hair color again? And to what shade?
- Will this process damage my hair?
- What products do you recommend?
- Will this whole idea work with my budget?

For more dimension, ask your stylist to blend the different tones of pink.
#11: Face-Framing Pink Ombre
Balayage is a free-form painting technique. When you try a pastel color on top of your blonde balayage, the combo is breathtaking. Though the fade is quick, you can refresh as needed with viral color shampoo. Semi-permanent colors are soft on the hair and don’t need a developer to process.
#12: Pink Ombre on Blonde Hair
Try a pink balayage on blonde hair to amp up your next salon visit. When toning your client’s hair, use your toner for her crown area if you’re a stylist. Then, comb it down through the mid-shaft. Apply Joico intensity pink to your client’s ends and push up on the color to blend it into her toner. You’ll love your blonde to pink ombre effect. Wear a rose pink on dark blonde hair if you want lower maintenance.
#13: Rich Pink Highlights on Short Hair
If you want a trendy hairstyle, consider a balayage on short hair. Pre-tone your client’s hair at the bowl for a dusty pink tone to cancel out any warmth. Because of the undercut, your stylist will focus on foiling the more prominent areas.

Try pink pastel balayage with dark roots when changing your dark natural hair. A balayage on black hair is an on-trend way to modify your color. The soft pink will add femininity and can easily be touched up or changed. Great for a lady who has a trendy style and likes to stand out.

If you’re looking for a modern way to have pastel hair, try the blend of a pink blonde balayage. The bright pink color adds warmth in contrast to any blonde tones. Try pre-toning your client’s hair to have a cooler tone of pink and blonde. Refresh your color regularly with your favorite color wash at home.
#16: Dark Pink Highlights with Long Layers
If you’re looking for a dimensional dark pink balayage, ask your stylist to add a pale tint of red to your blend. When I work with a warmer pink color, I like to add a vivid tone to a raw, lifted blonde. You can use 2-3 tones of a pink shade to get depth in your blend. Make sure you wash with cool water to preserve your color.
#17: Dusty Pink on Wavy U-Cut Hair
If you want to add pastel to your blonde hair, try a pastel pink balayage. For more tame, you can use rose gold as a contrasting color to your soft pink highlights. Pastel colors tend to fade quicker. So ask your stylist how to preserve your color the best. When doing pink colors, I like to use Joicio intensity’s.
#18: Choppy Bob with Magenta Pink Color
I suggest a pink balayage on dark hair if you want a vibrant color. Choose an intense hue between red and magenta. This will give you more depth and contrast in sunlight. It will also keep your hair from fading too fast. Do you like this color pink? See more pink and purple hair ideas.

#20: Bubblegum Pink Foilayage Hair
Bright bubblegum pink foilayage hair is a great technique to ask for when going lighter. From a natural light brown base, foilage your hair color until it has lifted to a light blonde.
