On Christine’s hair we started by taking 4 to 6 inches off the length and giving her shorter layers. Her hair was all pretty much one length. For the hair color we did highlights, a balayage technique for the lowlights and retouched her roots to match the lowlight color and give depth and dimension.

For both of them it had been a year, before the pandemic since they had color or a cut. On Janet’s hair the Auburn Bob Model we had already taken 4 to 5 inches off even in her before photo. Racquel as well with the violet highlights we had taken 5 to 6 inches off in her before also. Janet let me choose her color but Racquel knew exactly what she wanted and made the perfect choice…

Obviously lighting makes a difference. Amy decided to go red after retirement and we cleaned up her Classic Graduated Bob cut and style. I would have to say Amy looks good in whatever hair color she wears but she wanted a change and red it is for her new chapter in life. The darker red is the same color only taken indoors with different lighting and obviously less direct sunlight. In person it is beautiful in either light but on print it is more vibrant in the sunlight.

So Shelli came in to the salon after being isolated due to Covid where she pulled her hair up into a pony tail and went CHOP! Created somewhat of a mullet and needless to say she attempted the color which dried her hair out. Shown are her before and our first and most resent attempt to work with what she had done. It is coming along beautifully!

On Mary’s hair we did some fine highlights, we did dimensional lowlights to match her base color and then we toned the highlights with an iridescent ash. When she came into the salon she had faded to an all over brassy blonde everything had washed together and she had no dimension left. As you can see we gave her dimension back.

With Greatlengths hair extensions, the protein polymer bond method out intention on this day was to and density but when we added four rows of the extensions her hair and length blended in so well we just left the length and cleaned up the ends.Other methods of hair extensions offered are tape ins and hand tied wefts!

Our procedure for today was simple. Phyllis had been lightened previously we simply did a retouch with lightener on her natural salt and pepper and toned her with ivory and violet.

Balayage hair is a uniquely beautiful look. Unlike highlights, the hand-painted onto hair, meaning that it creates a smoother and more natural visual appearance. Each color blends seamlessly into the next, making for a rich and nuanced style.
