This past August, Sarah walked down the aisle as a gorgeous blonde bride. She spent months achieving the creamy blonde color and took meticulous care of her hair in the process. She radiated beauty as she walked down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams.
As fall approached, she desired a richer shade closer to her natural and that would require less maintenance. She browsed countless websites and magazine and decided upon the hair color trend known as "Bronde" - a hybrid color between brown and blonde.
As winter approached and her belated honeymoon to Costa Rica neared, Sarah decided to go one step closer to her natural hair color (medium brown). She chose a rich red-brown base color with subtle honey highlights. I would be lying if I didn't tell you about her initial shock and anxiety about the darker color. But, she adjusted well and enjoyed how the richer shade suited her skin and eye color. She also enjoyed the lower maintenance this color offered.
Now Sarah is an ideal client. She looks at magazines and websites to see what current trends in hair and fashion are. She takes very good care of her hair by scheduling regular appointments for cut and colors. She maintains a home care routine that includes the use of professional hair care products and does regular deep conditioning treatments. All in all, Sarah is committed to having great hair.
As time moved on and we approach spring, Sarah found herself at a crossroads. She admitted to me that she looked back at her wedding photos and longed to feel the way she felt on her wedding day; glowing and radiating. However, she didn't want to maintain such a light color and she knew how delicate her hair had become in achieving the light blonde tone. But, the darker color was being to bore her. So, being "Sarah", she did her homework and went online to see what color trends were emerging for the upcoming season. She found herself being drawn to celebrities like Lauren Conrad and Sarah Jessica Parker and their hair color known as "ombre". Now "ombre" isn't so much a hair color as it is a hair color effect.
To achieve the "ombre" color on Sarah, I did a highlighting technique known as balayage. Balayage is a very versatile highlighting technique that can create many different effects.
Sarah fell in love with her new "ombre" hair color and feels the glow that she felt on her wedding day. I couldn't agree more! Below is a collage of Sarah showcasing two past colors and the current ombre color. The upper left is her wedding day, the lower left is the medium red brown with honey highlights and the right is the current ombre color.
