Long layered dark brown hair with subtle caramel balayage highlights and face-framing layers styled by Lizzie Post at Sunday Salon in Raleigh.

Long Layered Cut with Dimensional Caramel Balayage and Curtain Layers

This gorgeous transformation features long, cascading layers designed to deliver optimal movement and weight distribution for dense hair fibers. The silhouette is centered around long curtain layers that sweep back seamlessly around the face, highlighting the cheekbones and adding dynamic perimeter shape. Structural interior layers remove excess bulk while preserving fullness at the ends, creating a polished, bouncy finish. To achieve this natural dimensional depth, the color application utilized hand-painted balayage techniques to weave soft caramel and cool ash brown ribbons through a deep espresso base. A customized glossing treatment sealed the cuticle, enhancing light reflectivity and leaving the hair with a silky, smooth shine. Anchored in core principles of Hair Coloring, Balayage, and Precision Haircuts, this tailored service exemplifies the custom hair color Raleigh clients seek at our Raleigh Iron Works salon. As a master of modern dimensional color and customized cut styling, Sunday Salon creates effortless, tailored looks designed to suit each client’s unique aesthetic. As an expert Raleigh hairstylist, Sunday Salon blends advanced technical coloring with precision carving for long-lasting beauty.
