Hair coloring has change drastically over the years from using plants and henna gathered by the Egyptians and romans.

Today I still don’t think most people understand that when coloring hair or using it that they are dealing with nighty eight percent chemicals. Hair color DYE contains Paraphenyledyammine  known ass ppd, and Para-Amminophenol, hydrogen peroxide and Ammonia  when all these products are chemical combined it causes changes in hair coloring from raising the ph levels and alkaline to be able to achieve desired looks in hair coloring.

For over 36 years salons have been highlighting hair with is the right service or look for you?

High lighting is done with foil placement to achieve lighter hair strands using Bleach or lightener mixed with peroxide this application requires a steady hand and a patient colorist , The outcome can be great if the colorist understand color placement and the use of various tones. The number one rule is to know that every client contribute an equation into how great the color will turn out. Hair colorist Martin Rodriguez calls this

( 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.

Who is your ideal foil client?

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.

A combo of foils and Balayage

Blond hair lovers are  have a hard time seeing themselves in other colors “natural blonds come in various tones” so a little regrowth change  after getting their hair colored is fine. They prefer to having a single-process of bleaching the whole hair blond.

Who is your ideal Balayage client?

This client could be a brunette with a few natural Sun kiss highlights or a blond that wants full coverage but wants a more  tonal shading or a look of regrowth feel which then allows her hair color to grow in  more natural.  Foils on this woman could result in too much of a streaky look or to much coverage.  Baliage hair color Painting by expert Martin Rodriguez with over three decades of experience On balayage and hair color correction and hair cutting to compliment your facial structure!
