Balayage Tips

Balayage by susie powers. style by mari dwyer.

A few tips for those of you embracing the wonderful world of balayage:
Study the hair.  It's about how you read the haircut and style. Focus on where you place your pieces or panels, and how much balayage you place in each area to enhance the hairstyle-

• Watch how the hair moves...
• How does it separate?
• How does your client run her fingers thru it and tuck it?
• How are the layers enhancing the shape of the hair?

All really important when it comes to your balayage skills!
