Best Hair Colorist Beverly Hills – new trends!

Cal Martini Color Group The best hair colorists understand that the “Beverly Hills” look is the result of both great hair color products and great hair color technique. Current hair color trends are always changing. And since so many of these changes result from the newest technologies in hair color products, the great hair colorists stay up-to-date on the latest products as well as the latest hair color techniques. Some of my favorite new trends in hair color include Balayage and American Balayage. (American Balayage a technique created by Beth Minardi, legendary colorist) Now, I should explain that traditional balayage is actually not new, it is a technique imported from Paris, where they have been using it for several years. The new technique, in the right hands, is a joy to behold. Traditional Balayage is lightener painted directly on the hair. The product lies on the hair and there is a bleed over to other hairs which creates a softer but not distinct definition between light and dark. American Balayage has more definition to it, a bit more modern. One very big reason why quality of both the colorist and the product he or she uses is so important. The best colorist – one who is really good with balayage will use just a brush and a paddle as a canvas, on which to paint the hair.  It looks easy, and many stylists try this without having any formal training in it. But this technique is more advanced than those they usually teach at a beauty school. This is why it is very important that a colorist have specific training. The best colorists for this kind of technique will have experience, taste and be up on all of the cutting edge hair color trends. When you have a stylist laying lightener directly on your hair without the safety of a foil you definitely want them to know what they are doing. You don’t want to have to go to some other colorist in Beverly Hills to fix a botched job. Get it right The end result of a great balayage is that bright, sun kissed look that is so popular now. Best of all, the highlights grow out looking natural and pretty. There is no harsh line between the lightened and non-lightened hair as with traditional foil techniques; the highlights are far more subtle. Right now the Boho trend is huge and there is nothing soft or beachy looking about a visible line where your stripes of highlights stop and you re-growth starts. Balayage is actually economical because that you don’t have to go to the salon every 4- 6 weeks in order to remain looking great!
