I’ve discovered new salon in my home town of Weybridge - Collections Hair Club and as well as taking them with getting me back to my natural colour, I’ve also decided to give balayage a go. Yes, I am very late to the party, but my lightening mistakes of the past made me wary.
Although I was in the salon a while, I had a lovely time, catching up on emails, reading a magazine and enjoying complementary coffees galore. The salon also has a girl who does manicures, so you can book in to have your nails done whilst your colour is taking too.
Balayage is best done slowly, salon owner Ross tells me, with the first time only lightening the ends by a few shades. The pictures of me wearing the blue top are after the 1st appointment. So when I needed my roots done again, I had another session of lightening too.
And the result? I LOVE it! The colour looks really natural, making my locks look much more summery. One of my colleagues told me my hair looked ‘really expensive’ not a comment I was expecting, but I totally agree that moving from the block colour of home-colouring and looking natural, it just looks 'improved', the secret of good hair I suppose.
Balayage does look best with waves, or movement in your hair so you can see the different shades, so I have being trying to take the extra time in the mornings to add waves, which I also love - and it was perfect for the Midsummer Party we went to last weekend too!
