Foil-ayage ... It's kinda my "Thing"

My work. In the wild ;-)

This is a combination of foil and balayage which evolves over time. If you'd like to get to this level of low-maintenance/high impact blonde start with a full or partial foil and we will alternate every other or every third time with different balayage techniques. This has traditional "color sweep" or "hand painted highlight" balayage as well as a variation on the 'dipped' perimeter that ends up with a softer line. Because of the dark crown and root area the effect is a sophisticated beachy ombre. 

Love your hair!

Balayage Bonanza!















So.. have I mentioned I am loving balayage highlights?
I can't get enough.. Here is a client who I have always done foil highlights (and lowlights) on. Today I just painted in very natural balayage highlights in an ombre pattern ( similar to the way that I do her foils) with the highlights very close to the scalp in the front but on the crown of the head much lighter in the regrowth and farther from the scalp. The end result was stunning

High Contrast Ombre









Here is a fun Ombre from some time around July. This client wanted a high contrast Ombre so I did some hand painting on the perimeter and then for the framing in the front I wanted precision so I mixed foils and balayage. The finished product was just what the summer ordered!
