Balayage - yes or no?

So I just learned of this new hair color technique called Balayage.

This is how Hair Romance described the technique;

 "Balayage is a free-hand colour technique that creates a graduated colour effect. Highlights are handpainted in to the midlengths to ends of the hair, so that the colour lightens gradually towards the ends of the hair. Balayage varies from a gentle 'sun-kissed' look or a more dramatic dip dye look. As it is a free-hand colour application, there are infinite results and it all depends on what you ask for and the skill of your  stylist."

Now, I would like your opinion...I'm thinking I may try going a little darker (closer to my natural color), but i don't want to dye all my hair at once...I think this is a more gradual way of doing it...do you like this look? what do you think? Is it a yes or no?
