Style Saturday!

Spring color look: Balayage

What is Balayage?

Balayage is a freehand coloring technique where the stylist applies the color using a painting technique. Rather than using the traditional foiling or cap highlighting techniques; this is done by eye with a single brush to create the perfect sunkissed look. Balayage is low-maintenance color that can achieve many different looks from soft and natural highlights to bold contrast (such a ombre).

Is Balayage for you?

Balayage is a great option for natural hair. It is a beautiful color choice for longer, more flowing hairstyles. Loose curls and beachy tousles show off the many dimensions of color that weave through the hair. However, don’t be discouraged if you have a shorter do! This technique allows any length or style of hair to achieve multi dimensional color and come to life.

Examples of Balayage:

Red Carpet Ready (for us Mere Mortals)

We loved this beauty tips blog from the Huffington Post with tips and tricks to get Hollywood glam at home! They even recommended Supershine Moisturizing Cream-- one of our all-time favorites by Oribe!

12 Beauty Essentials for Getting Red-Carpet Ready (Or Big Event Ready for Us Mere Mortals)

"Another celebrity favorite, Oribe Supershine Moisturizing Cream ($19.50 - $49) is like a leave-in conditioner, styling cream, and anti-frizz serum in one. This miracle cream quenches the driest of locks and works on both wet and dry hair. I personally just bought the travel size so I can slip it in my evening bag for touch-ups. Bonus: No need to wear perfume, this product smells simply divine."

   

Friends are by Your Side: Patricia

This is the lovely Patricia who came to the Studio the day before she started chemo. Patricia always wore her shoulder length hair pulled back in a low bun, so I cut her hair in a short, off-the-face style. She loved it so much, that we gave her a wig to mirror the same look. We think she looks wonderful!
