“Balayage on Bond” Press Event

This week we held a press event sponsored by L’Oreal Professionnel, called “Balayage on Bond.” About 40 beauty editors from a wide range of publications attended for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a demonstration of my balayage techniques on a blonde, brunette, and redhead models. I showed and explained how this method of highlighting and lowlighting is healthier for the hair and produces much more beautiful and natural-looking results if done correctly. It is why I believe that balayage is the evolution in hair color. Here is a brief photo gallery from the event (you can click on each photo to expand it to full size)!

The “Subtle Ombre” Makeover

evascrivo — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:21:31 +0000

I recently did a color & cut makeover for Modern Salon Magazine, with the objective of creating a subtle ombre look, which is a more natural and modern take on its original incranation (and in my opinion more beautiful). Although the trend started with an intentional drastic contrast between the roots and midshaft/ends, it has become wrongly interpreted by many as simply hair that was once highlighted and then neglected, with long, dark roots and grown out highlights. This is neither natural nor attractive. There’s a big difference between well-executed ombre haircolor and when you just stop highlighting your hair.

What you see in these photos is an example of the ombre look that we’ve lately been creating in my salon. It’s an evolution of a trend, that is more refined but done with the same objective of having hair that’s darker in the roots and lighter toward the ends. To create this subtle ombre, we use the balayage hand-painting method of highlighting, since the highlights come out less harsh and ”stripy,” and more blended with the rest of the hair.

My model started out what that many mistake for ombre - grown out brassy highlights with dark roots. You can see how in the “after” photos her hair looks blended, with a graduation of color from roots to ends and without sharp lines - like nature intended, but even better! In addition to her color, I did a concave layered cut to get rid of the heaviness and add more shape so her hair can fall beautifully. You can read the full article and see the photos of the balayage process which I used to create this look, on modernsalon.com.

Subtle Ombre

Roots are too dark; contrast too sharp; highlights too brassy; hair lacks shape
