Balayage has been in the epicenter of hair trends for a while now, but what you may not know it’s actually been around since the 1970’s. Balayage was born in France and is a technique where the hair color is applied by hand rather than using the traditional foiling or cap highlighting. Balayage gives you a soft natural sun-kissed look that can be custom tailored to your hair color and style. So why the resurgence of Balayage now? Most women love this hair trend because it is low maintenance and it gives you a gorgeous, healthy finish that looks nature-enhanced,…

SPOTLIGHT ON KERATIN TREATMENTS

Keratin treatments are a girl’s best friend when it comes to getting glamorous and silky straight hair, but there are even more reasons why you may want to consider keratin for your hair even if you don’t want it to be super straight! Let’s start with a little science behind keratin first. Keratin is a naturally occurring protein found in skin, hair, and nails. It acts as an external protector to the outer layers of the hair, and as a structural protein at the inner core of the hair that helps determine its strength. Over time, the keratin in our…
