Are Bayalage and Ombre the same thing?

I often get asked about the color techniques, Bayalage and Ombre. Are they the same? Here is the difference between these processes:

Balayage (BAH-LAY-AHJ)
Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep. With Balayage hair coloring, you will get natural, sun-kissed highlights. Dark portions of hair are left on the bottom to create dimension and a more natural look.

Ombre (AHM-BRAY)
Ombre is a French word meaning shaded or shading. With Ombre color, the roots are typically darker and then gradually lighten mid-shart to the ends.
