Balayage, color, and blonding Portfolio

Still in love with 10VV 🥰 This time I mixed a bit of clear and a splash of 6R

Remember to keep your starting level and underlying pigment in mind when formulating your glaze. My client lifts beautifully to a level 8/9, so in this instance I used 15g 5G + 10g 7V + 10g 10VV .... I wanted a bit of warmth but nothing that could be mistaken as brassy to my client. This combo allowed me to create a rich depth without the “blorange” that loves to rear its head when you tone down to a 7 with the G series.

Formula : 10VV + Clear + splash of 9AA to complete short hair blonde balayage

Warm tones balayage 🥰 Ladies... embrace the warmth! Choosing the correct hue for your skin tone is ESSENTIAL! I know we all looove a platinum blonde... but depending on your undertone it could completely wash you out. Keep that in mind next time you see on over that ashy Pinterest hair pic 😉

Toned with the brand new @redken #shadeseq 10VV 😍 It truly is a double V so make sure to cut with clear on a true level 10! •

Subtle warm tones brown balayage - Maintaining your color in between lightening appointments is crucial, especially with a natural brunette. Darker hair will always fade brassy, so a refresh every 6-8 weeks to keep your tone in check can do wonders towards extending the life of your color ❤️

Box color where? 👀 As stylists we dread hearing a new client tell us they have used at home color 😩 But before panicking always test strand! My clients fine texture and the health of her hair allowed us to get amazing lift even with her hair history. ❤️

Let’s talk ✨toning✨

Constantly envious of hair you see on Instagram? Wondering HOW that girl gets her hair so icy... or maintains that perfect caramel shade? •
The secret is maintaining your color in between balayage or foil appointments! •
A glaze (or toner) will keep your color looking fresh. It keeps your color from going dull or drab, and adds 🌟shine🌟

Just like our skin we need to constantly nourish and treat our hair... a good maintenance schedule for this service would be about every 6-8 weeks (just in time for you to trim those ends 😉) •
