BALAYAGE BEGINS.
The trend that’s quite literally sweeping the nation has been around for nearly forty years, tracing its roots back to a little salon in Paris in the 70′s. While it stayed safely nestled in Europe Not for long.
American salon were using caps and foil highlighting at the early days of the 80′s, the technique made its way to us in America . It was mostly used on celebrities who were lucky enough to visit European trained colorists and pay top dollar for the best in hair color.
When Sarah Jessica Parker began rocking the sun-kissed, dimensional color pattern in the last days of Sex & The City, every fashionista in the nation was on board. We wanted to know exactly what that dewy, natural looking color, perfectly accentuating her big curls was. And when social media became a useful tool for sharing the details of what this beautiful new trend was and younger up and comers like Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port traded in their foils for the softer, European style, a phenomenon was born Officially.

I think American women have latched on for a multitude of reasons (8-12 weeks between retouches anyone?), but most importantly, I think we like the story it tells about us. It’s been a tool to give American women that Far tale look, yet chic French vibe. It’s a way of saying you don’t take yourself too seriously, but you somehow always seem to look effortlessly and polished and pulled together. It has absolutely revolutionized the way we think about highlighting and contouring hair color into the hair. The hair makes its own statement it makes with effortless movement and waves of color tones .

BLONDS HAVE MORE FUN from Martin Rodriguez on Vimeo.
1. Balayage literally translates to "sweeping." When done correctly, the colorist takes a small section of hair and sweeps the color using a gradient technique going from dark to lightter onto the top. Then, he or she uses a ColourWand paddle to apply more color toward the bottom of the hair creating melting blended color. This method of lightening towards the ends gives the colorist more control and creates the effortless gradient sun-kissed highlights everyone wants this time of year.
2. It’s not just for blondes. Martin uses balayage techniques applications on , Brunette - redheaded clients for multi-dimensional coloring.
“Hair color that is all one shade can look Un-natural and without contrast and vibrant tones like a wig,” Martin says.
3. It works on gray hair. Balayage is a smart solution for gray hair because it allows the colorist to specifically target gray strands without touching the scalp we can use multiple colors.
4. If You have long hair we should cut, then color. In most salons, women get their hair colored, cut, and blow-dried by a stylist.
Booking your trim before coloring your colorist can work specifically to compliment the cut, which minimizes the risk of chopping off the
pretty, lighter ends (and ruining the effect).
5. Please don’t wash your hair before . If you're adding highlights with balayage, you should come with oily hair to protect the scalp. But if you’re getting a single process, it’s better to come as you are, Martin says.

Who is your ideal foil client?
The ideal foil client is a woman who loves being blond, Dislikes when the roots one in, but does not want to be a single process blond. I can put more than 300 foils in her hair taking Micro thin sections and give her a flawless blond with just a shadow of root. When the hair starts growing the dark shadow actually helps blend the color for a natural look. Regrowth is much more obvious on a single-process color.
Blond hair lovers are have a hard time seeing themselves in other colors “natural blonds come in various tones” so a little regrowth change after getting their hair colored is fine. They prefer to having a single-process of bleaching the whole hair blond.
Who is your ideal Balayage client?
This client could be a brunette with a few natural Sun kiss highlights or a blond that wants full coverage but wants a more tonal shading or a look of regrowth feel which then allows her hair color to grow in more natural. Foils on this woman could result in too much of a streaky look or to much coverage.

Highlights consist of selecting small or thick strands of hair that are then lightened at least 2 shades lighter than the rest of your hair.
Highlights should compliment your skin tones and match your personality.
If you desire a natural look you should never go more than 3 shades lighter then the rest of your HAIR COLOR. Natural looking highlights give you a sun-kissed look and to bring depth and light to your overall color.
For racier highlights a rainbow of colors can be chosen. However, these should still match the skin tones of the individual.
Pick the right color. Your hair color should suit your complexion. Any hair color will look good on pale skin. If you have pink skin, avoid shades of red or golden blonde.
Opt instead for ash tones to neutralize your coloring. Sallow complexion? Stick with deep reds & avoid yellow, gold or orange tones. If your skin is olive, stick with dark or red colors & add richness with Low-lights in red or brown shades.
To color or to highlight , that's the question. If you have short hair, avoid highlights & opt for full color. Subtle highlights around your face will brighten your complexion if you have longer hair.
Keep in mind that due to root growth, all-over coloring will need to be touched up every 4 to 6 weeks, while highlights can last up to 2 or 3 months.
Different types of highlights. There are basically 4 types of highlights: basic foil highlights, Biollage or Balayage hair painting’, chunking or ‘piecing' & low lighting and paneling.
