Balayage – This is a French hair coloring technique. The colorist paints and sweeps the color across your hair tresses. This gives them a natural, contrastive look compared to even coloring, where color is applied all over your hair, giving it a one-dimensional look.
Brazilian Blowout, Express Blowout, Coppola, Pura Luxe treatment – These are the different types of Keratin treatment to help reduce frizz in the hair and reduce the curl and reduce the density to your hair. To provide a smoothing result and make the hair easy to take care of after the treatment. The treatment usually lasts between 4 weeks to 6 months depending on what brand of treatment you are having.
