Balayage / Ombre hair color....check out what it is!

I love hair color! I love looking at pictures of it, watching videos of people doing it, applying it to my own hair and most of all, applying it to my clients hair! The right hair color can easily make us feel so much better about the way we look! And we all know when we like the way we look, we feel better in every way.

My husband says I get just as excited as my clients when I transform them with a new color and style! It is definitely true. I. Love. Hair. Color!

Here are a couple of pictures I took of a Balayage / Ombre color I recently did. Balayage and Ombre are color techniques that are applied by taking a different color than the hair and painting it onto the ends and depending on what technique you are using, down the hair shaft, staying clear of within a couple / few inches of the roots.

Welcome to Hairstyles, Hair Color and More!

I have been in the hair industry for many years! I have always enjoyed doing various types of color...from single process to highlights to all the modern shades and colors.

In addition to being a cosmetologist, I also enjoy writing about hair. I have a channel entitled: Raleigh Hair Care. You can take a look at one of the articles I have written: Remedy to help dry hair

In addition to this blog, I have recently started a Facebook fan page: Hairstyles, Hair Color and More
