Balayage is a beloved technique that shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to clients’ inspirations. It’s wearable, flattering, and versatile.
To help you hone in on those stunning, filtered-effect blondes, we have the perfect 2-step French Balayage technique AND 5 brand new Dia Light shades. These will assist you in creating the perfect Parisian balayage.
Pearls are all over the catwalk and magazines. With its inherent delicate blend of tones, pearls illuminate and compliment in a way that transcends age, gender, and skin tone. It’s a spring/summer trend that I am sure we will see around for many more seasons to come.
These perfect pearl shades are versatile, easy to use and will be a welcomed transformation for clients who are looking to freshen out their look.
