 What Transformation Did The Client Desire?
The client wanted her blonde hair to be brighter, but with definition. She also wanted more warmth in her hair, but was concerned about it looking brassy. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? The client has pretty dark hair, but she prefers to be a brighter blonde. Her hair tends to pull brassy colors because of the level of color of her natural hair color. What Was The Salon’s Solution? Sarah used a high lift color that canceled out the client’s brassiness. She also used a blue-based lightener and a demi-light blonde with a cool undertone for her lowlight. After Sarah processed the client’s hair, she shampooed it and applied a glosser, which added warmth. She also added a cool color that gave the client’s hair a very high shine.

 What Transformation Did The Client Desire?
Sarah has gone one year without hair color and wanted a lower-maintenance color rather than highlights from her roots to ends. She asked for a color that would be lighter at the ends with a softer growing out period, with lighter pieces framing her face. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? Sarah was frustrated that she didn’t have time to get her hair colored as often as she would like. Her greys were starting show more and she wanted them to blend in rather than having to do an all-over color to cover the grey hairs up. What Was The Salon’s Solution? Lora did a balayage technique that left some of Sarah’s natural hair apparent and used two colors of blonde for a softer line of growth and dimension. Lora then glazed Sarah’s hair to give her a cooler blonde with a violet glosser, and softened both her natural hair, grey hair and her balayaged hair. Want to see more Before & After photos?

The client wanted to go from heavy highlight to a balayage. She also wanted a lower maintenance style, but wanted to keep her natural color as her base. She naturally pulls a gold undertone and wanted to be a cooler blonde. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? The client had a really defined line of demarcation from heavy foiling over a long period of time. She was on the gold side of blonde and had about 3-4 inches of new growth. What Was The Salon’s Solution? The client’s natural hair color is a really nice level 7, so Sandra used an ash tone level 7 demi-permanent color to use in between her balayage, which helps break the line of demarcation and brings down her natural hair color. The ash tone also helps control the natural warmth and gold tones the client tends to pull. We also did a Shades EQ glosser. The glosser not only tones and puts the icy cooler tones in her hair, but it also conditions and adds shine. This technique will allow the client to go longer in between appointments. The glosser is also a great way to freshen up hair color or to keep the color tones in between color touch-ups. Want to see more Before & After photos? Follow The Salon by Lora Brown on Instagram!

The client was looking for a clean, even cut that accentuated her best features. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? The client had previously cut her own hair because she has had a hard time finding a stylist that didn’t cut her hair too short. What Was The Salon’s Solution? Lora created a cut that better suited the client’s face shape. This structured style flatters the client’s square face shape, adding more lift and focus to her cheekbones rather than her jawline. It also makes her feel more youthful. Want to see more Before & After photos? Follow The Salon by Lora Brown on Instagram!  What Transformation Did The Client Desire?
The client was looking to get rid of the line of balayage/ombré in her hair that had grown out. She wanted a similar style, but one that would last until she came home from college. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? The goal was to soften the grow-out line. The client wanted her hair to be lighter, especially around her face, but did not want a noticeable line of growth. What Was The Salon’s Solution? Lora created a mixture of soft lines of balayage and blended with a true ombré. She backcombed the client’s hair and then weaved the color so there would be no noticeable growth pattern. She made pieces lighter around the client’s face and beneath her part. This look will provide the client with a natural, no-fuss style that will last throughout the semester.

Bailey is a college student and wanted a low-maintenance haircut and color that would last all semester. What Challenges Was The Client Experiencing? It’s been a year since Bailey had her hair cut or had the balayage color treatment. She wanted her split ends removed and a blonder color, too. However, being a young college student, she needs a style that doesn’t require much upkeep and effort since she will not be able to return to The Salon until the summer. What Was The Salon’s Solution? Lora applied balayage to Bailey’s hair. Balayage means “to sweep” or “to paint” in French. The benefit of bayalage is it does not require frequent retouching because it creates a natural, sun-kissed hair color. This look will take Bailey well into the late spring yet still appear fresh. Balayage offers a practical, yet stylish look that is ideal for busy college students and women on the go. Want to see more Before & After photos? Follow The Salon by Lora Brown on Instagram!
