Intro to Balayage and Ombre                                                    Monica Byrne

Sunday: 9:30 am 

Monday: 9:30 am  

 

The first time a celebrity became fascinated with her new Balayage and Ombre haircolor it became the new craze. Balayage means to sweep in french. The color technique is achieved by sweeping bleach onto the hair. When you witness it being executed, it looks simple. Make no mistake, it requires skill and talent to make it look sensational. The Ombre is very much the same technique. You will do Balayage on one side of the mannequin and Ombre on the other. Both techniques in one exciting 3 hour class. Led by Monica Byrne and her team of haircolorists, you will love this class. 

This class has a $25.00 surcharge for the maintenance of the mannequin. You will be using a mock bleach and the mannequin will remain in the classroom at the end of the class.

Pantone 2015 Color of the Year- MARSALA

The Pantone 2015 Color of the Year is Marsala. This color translates into a wonderful haircolor that looks great on many skin tones and lifestyles. This is much different 
than Orchid (2014) and Emerald Green (2013), and Tangerine Tango (2012) none of which made much of a wide impact in the salon.
Marsala is a red-brown tonal color that reflects the fortified wine from which it gets its name. This earthy tone can be hearty or muted and is universally appealing in haircolor, makeup, clothing or accessories.
The January Pantone press release states:
Marsala  pairs exquisitely with monochromatic mixes of peachy pinks, and sparkles against antiqued gold metallics, offering an assortment of lipstick and blush options. Marsala illuminates a range of smoky-neutral color combinations, making it a captivating eye shadow color that can be worn from morning until night. Add an overlay of bronze for a dramatic look that suits any eye color, or use Marsala as a go-to finishing touch on nails.
Lowlights from the Editor   

Beth Minaardi posted a number of Marsala haircolor formulas  to her blog in January.   "Rum Raisin" to "Cherry Mocha," "Raspberry Crush," and "Whiskey." 
There are shades to complement every skin tone and marsala is appealing to both men and women.
Time to spice up the color in 2015!
