Where the hair magic happens 

Micro foil VS chunky foil

What is the difference between a micro foil and a chunky foil?

The easiest way for me to explain the difference between the 2 types of foils would be to show you pictures.

The first picture is a micro foil that I did on a client. It is a seamless and natural look. These are before and after photos...it brightened up her hair color beautifully, without looking like she had a color service.

This next picture is a chunky foil performed by someone other than myself. I found the picture through Google just to give you an example.

Natural, seamless foils are popular right now, but I'm sure chunky foils will make a comeback one day!

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.
