BALAYAGE BEGINS. 

Icy balayage


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.

BALAYAGE IS HERE TO STAY.  sun  kiss hair 


Today, we love this technique because of the statement it makes. 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 . It can drastically enhance and accent your haircut and style like no other COLOR technique  Balayage can give the illusion of length if you’re in the process of growing out your hair, it can add width to your style to balance out a long face shape or it can even just add points to give drama to an asymmetrical cut. It is structure MASTERFUL  technique and knowledge the old masters. But it is also the freedom to create illusions in hair with style and clients can enjoy a youthful color as if you were born with it.

WHAT IS BALAYAGE HAIR COLOR?

BALAYAGE HAIR COLORING ON LONG HAIR BY HAIR COLORIST MARTIN RODRIGUEZ WITH OVER THREE DECADES OF HAIR COlOR EXPERIENCE, DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS!





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.


The Ombre hair color is one of the most popular  hair color techniques that has People all over the world . Ombre better know as Balayage Hair painting in the USA, Is a great way to get soft hair coloring without the commitment of being back to the salon every four weeks, The Choices of hair color ideas are endless.  Say's hair stylist colorist Martin Rodriguez from Ooh la la salon spa in Fountain Valley ca, Always have your stylist or colorist give you the best hair color tones that will compliment your skin tone, Today's Ombre Balayage hair color is more blended, Rather than just dipping the ends blonde. For a much more natural color it,s a great idea to use more than one color tone on any shade of hair.

Ombre hair color has being around for many years, Todays ombre is more blended colors than ever before using various coloring tones for a more natural look.

Do not confuse Ombre Balayage with   traditional highlighting. The traditional highlighting technique uses aluminum foil to ad hair color or to lighten hair, often leaving harsh lines and extreme color contrast if not done properly. You’re hair color should Inviting and healthy with lots of tones.

Hair color balayage its Not a trend, It's a revolution in hair coloring

THE BALAYAGE: A french sweaping motion and hand painting techniques can be done in a  subtle way without the harsh extreme color popping out , using more than one color gives your hair a  beautiful effect of light and dark shadows, This effect stands out more on layered hair due to the style of freedom and movement.  Balayage or California Sun-kiss is a perfect color for All year around.

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.  Baliage hair color Painting by expert Martin Rodriguez with over three decades of experience On balayage and hair color correction and hair cutting to compliment your facial structure!

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.
