Now for, Re-Rooted Salon Look:
The re-rooted salon look boasts rich, dimensional shades with hints of natural, cool and mink tones – giving a high-shine, and luxurious refinement. Coloured by Ashlee Norman, using traditional techniques to create high-resolution, low-maintenance results. Just what clients are after nowadays! The look is finished by Christos Michailidis; he adds layers to create body and airiness, whilst the face-framing sections add effortless volume. Great work by the duo a real “modern classic” as Christos says.
Next, Salon Service, #FoilayageMelt:
Here we have a technique that delivers the same softness and blend of a balayage and open-air surface painting but with a traditional foiling technique: The Foilayage Melt Colour Service. This uses a series of balayage-like interlocking triangles pivoting around the head. Each triangle is broken into two foils; the top foil mirrors the effect of surface painting, whilst the saturated ends of the second give an ombré result. Ashlee adds, “I used over-direction forward when applying the ombré ends so that they followed the crest of the face-framing pieces, creating a perfect synergy between cut, colour, and most importantly, the individual.”
Key products:
- Fibre Clinix Tribond shampoo & treatment + Fortify & Hydrate boosters
- Blondeme Premium Lightener 9+, tbh – true beautiful honest
- Session Label the mousse, the texturizer
