Reverse Balayage
Do you have blonde hair or a darker base with lots of lightness running through, but want to go a little darker? Reverse balayage may be for you!
What is reverse balayage?
As the name implies, it is the “reverse” of balayage, where lightness is added to the hair. With reverse balayage, your stylist will use the same technique but will add darker strands with the purpose of adding more depth to the hair. Reverse balayage is a great way to add a little contrast and for those who just want to go a little bit darker without a huge commitment.
Benefits of reverse balayage
Since reverse balayage doesn’t require a whole lot of commitment, and the upkeep is is easy to maintain, it will usually preserve your natural regrowth. It also doesn’t require a full-blown overhaul, like coloring your entire head of hair or taking other drastic measures to change up your look.
Another bonus? Like balayage, reverse balayage can be done with most hair types and textures.

Face framing highlights
There’s a new hair color trend on the block that actually isn’t so ‘new’…it’s just made its return back from the ‘90’s. It’s none other than chunky, face-framing highlights!
This color style was originally made popular by icons like the Spice Girls. In contrast to balayage or babylights, these face-framing highlights are not subtle. They are unapologetically bold AND fun! Seeking out a more dramatic look? We’ve got your inspiration!
Whether you’re looking for the classic face-framing highlights in bleach-blonde or something a little less dramatic, face-framing highlights can be adapted and toned down to accommodate any color.
