Not balayage. Silayage blends the precision of highlights with the natural flow of balayage, painted freehand into soft, shadow-like gradients.

The Silayage Method
Frosty, cool tones: ashy and champagne blondes with a clean, bright finish.
Fresh, golden light: soft golden blondes that lift the face.
Sun-kissed warmth: honey ribbons that look like a summer outdoors.
Caramel depth: rich, warm shine with soft shadow at the root.

Client Love
4.9★★★★★
“The most wonderful experience at the new salon at Hard Rock Hotel. Impeccable service. Francesco is a master at understanding a client’s needs, and it was like going to an old friend. Superb quality, no compromise, in creating beautiful hairstyles, colour and healthy hair.”
“He really took the time to understand what I wanted and gave me great advice on both the cut and the colour. A beautiful butterfly cut with lots of movement and dimensional blonde highlights. The colour is luminous, natural and full of depth.”
“My hair was completely virgin, so I was nervous about trusting someone with colouring it for the first time. He did an incredible job. You can truly tell he cares about the health of your hair and pays attention to every little detail.”
“I contacted Francesco during my vacation in Malta and got an appointment very quickly. I went there with almost four colours on my hair. He is a born hairdresser, very caring and extremely professional. This is going to be a reason to come back to Malta.”
“Francesco is always really professional and friendly, and he’s great at helping me decide what to do with my hair. Twice he encouraged me to go for very short cuts, and both times they turned out amazing.”
“Had a fabulous experience with Francesco and colleague. Very professional and knowledgeable. Delighted with the cut and colour. Highly recommend Francesco Varamo Hair Salon.”
