From Bad Hair to Good...




I couldn't get in for an appointment with my usual colorist until Aug 31, so I went to South Hill's Gene Juarez. Let me tell you that Elle is way better than my usual. I'm a huge Balliage fan. It's basically defined as free hand hair painting. Once they paint the hair, then they totally wrap you up in saran wrap to keep the heat in. OMG...I started sweating. You could cook an egg on the chemical reaction happening on my scalp. I could have used some Koko's iced green tea! (inside joke). Elle took care of the gray, too. My stylist's name was Thor. He was sooooo awesome. I'm a convert now. Look how pretty my hair is!

I love it! They don't do that here, I am a little jealous. What kind of hair cut did you ask for? I am getting my haircut in about two weeks and I am looking for a cut, I want yours. What does the back look like? What kind of layer? Ect. BTW I love the color of the baliage.!

Hollie when you come stateside, I'll make sure you get a good high quality hair cut. Remember, though, my hair is way thick, so it may not look the same on you. I was "informed" that the stacked in the back look is on it's way out. So, Thor did layers from the crown to about right above the ear..all the way around. Then gave me a little bit more sweepy bangs. The color...I love it!! Hope that helps!

I agree with Hollie! It looks really good! Was it expensive? I hate payingfor highlights!

Okay, the price is NOT at all reasonable. It makes me feel so good, though, and I only go every three months. Doing the balliage every 12 weeks is the optimal time. It takes about a year to get the best look with the balliage...mostly because of my darker hair underneath and the gray. I'm very pleased with the look.
