No damage No brassiness Just beautiful hair 🤍
Ok but can we talk about this for a sec 🤍 not every colorist actually specializes in blonde even if they say they do here's how to tell the difference (learned this from doing blonde literally every day)
Save this before your next appt!!
Comment "blonde" if you want me to be honest about your current color
3 signs your colorist isn't actually a blonde specialist:
1. Your blonde goes brassy or yellow after like a week
if you're using purple shampoo every single wash just to survive until your next appt, that's not normal that's a toning issue
2. they never ask about your hair history
box dye, old color, heat damage, even your water at home all of that changes how blonde turns out. if they go straight to foils with zero questions, they're kinda just guessing
3. your highlights look streaky instead of blended
foil placement should follow YOUR face shape and how your hair actually grows, not just even sections all over. good blonde has movement to it, not stripes
Here's how we foil for that soft, natural-looking highlight
Strategic placement makes all the difference no harsh lines, just seamless dimension.

Your balayage is a 50/50 job 🤝
We do our half in the chair precise placement, the perfect melt, a color that's made to last.
But the other half? That's on you. And it starts the second you leave the salon.
Swipe to see what's quietly fading your color (probably happening in your shower right now 👀) and the simple routine that keeps it looking freshly-done for weeks longer.
