Hair painting with a freehand method is an artful approach that allows for a personalized, multi-dimensional finish. By sweeping multiple colors directly onto the hair without the constraints of foils or strict sectioning, the stylist can create a natural flow and seamless blend of tones. This method enhances the hair’s movement, adding depth and light that shift as the hair moves. From soft pastels and rich brunettes to vivid fantasy shades, freehand hair painting is ideal for creating a fluid, customized look that highlights the hair’s natural texture and shine.

( Past history Of coloring from client) You see its easier to achieve a lighter look on a natural dish water blond know as a level 6 or 7 lighter hair sits at levels 9 and 10 so the hair does not have to go to far to be much lighter it has to travel no more than 3 to 4 level to be super blond.
The ideal foil client is a woman who loves being blond, Dislikes when the roots one in, but does not want to be a single process blond. I can put more than 300 foils in her hair taking Micro thin sections and give her a flawless blond with just a shadow of root. When the hair starts growing the dark shadow actually helps blend the color for a natural look. Regrowth is much more obvious on a single-process color.

Hair colorist Martin Rodriguez believes that hair is not just how you want to look, But what you want to express yourself.
As a stylist, I believe starting with color closer to your natural level, and then increasing the intensity gradually, creates the sun-kissed effect that is both subtly dramatic and luxurious. The Ombre trend was huge and exciting. Yet once the novelty wore off, the boldness of the style was left seeming more cheap than creative. Sombre and Balayage hair painting retain the artistic quality of Ombre color the Variance between the two are huge due to the Gradient pattens that I use while coloring your hair to achieve the best natural looking hair color , while advancing the Technique to more masterful levels.
My goal is to give you the best hair coloring that would look the best with your skin tone and life style and that will compliment your skin tone. Balayage hair color is the most popular color it can be done on any type of hair!
