Your guide to Balayage and hair treatments in Manhattan |
Posted: May 25, 2019 |
Balayage, Ombre, highlights, lowlights – the beauty industry is brimming with various hair treatments. However, potential clients can become confused with the different concepts and are unable to decide the look for them. In this guide, we were helped by the styling experts at the Salon Project by Joel Warren, who all explained the different hair coloring techniques trending right now. What is Balayage?Balayage is a French word that means to ‘sweep’ or ‘paint.’ It is a growing technique of hair transformation where the dye is hand painted on the hair for a natural effect. In Balayage hair coloring, the stylists usually use varying tones of light and dark to create multiple textures in hair – that results in a blended and natural outcome. Since it is a freehand technique, Balayage doesn’t require the application of foils – as is the case with highlights and low lights. Moreover, the hair technique of Balayage is easy to maintain. How does Balyage differ from Ombre hair coloring technique?Ombre is another hair painting technique that is rapidly gaining in popularity. Ombre is also a French word that means to ‘shadow.’ The coloring for ombre makes a transition from dark to light with the roots a darker shade and the tips gradually becoming a lighter shade. The look makes the hair appear dip-dyed. However, if the hair color technique is not applied properly, the result can be harsh and unblended. This is why it is important that a qualified hair stylist who is experienced with the process administers the application. Which is the right hair coloring treatment for you?The creative possibilities with hair styling are endless and whether you should go for Balayage, ombre, or the traditional highlights is the question in every client’s mind – especially if this is their first time for hair treatment. Before going for any type of hair treatment in Manhattan, consider the size of the change you would like to go for and how daring you are to carry a certain, exaggerated hairstyle. It also depends on how you carry your hair in a normal circumstance. For example, Balayage looks attractive on a flowing, wavy mane but a bob haircut or hair that is very straight might look better in a single color block. Above all, make sure to talk to your hair stylist before the actual appointment regarding your options and take in their suggestion for the color palette that will most suit your facial features, skin tone, and personality.
