This metallic blonde look is amazing on hair that has been pre-lightened to a level 9-10 but will work just as beautifully on blonde balayage hair. To recreate the color, we recommend pre toning the hair with a neutralizing shade, such as Color Excel Gloss .01, then applying multiple shades from Nutri Color™ Filters Metal-Ice Toning Filters such as tones 053 Iced Rose and 1011 Intense Silver to the roots to create the #shadowroots effect. To further personalize the color, try adding CLEAR to the color mix to add illumination and dimension. For a different take on the metallic look we also love Color Excel by Revlonissimo™ 012 Iridescent Grey blended into 022 Iridescent.

What better way to be inspired by then nature itself? Dynamic flashes of color  seamlessly blend pops of pink in various shades to make this look soft but fashionable. Applying pinks on blonde balayage hair is a client and stylist favorite. The fade out of this pretty tone that can leave blonde hair bright and neutralized once it washes out. It gives vibrancy without the high maintenance or color grab that green or blue shades can bring. We recommend tones .523 Antique Rose for a softer shade or 500 Fucsia for a bolder shade by Color Excel Gloss™. Mixing any color with CLEAR will make the shades more pastel, so don’t be shy about getting creative!

Tips for Perfect Balayage

Balayage has come leaps and bounds from when it was first introduced. This color technique originates from France and focuses on creating subtle hand painted sections of color. These can start at the roots and around the face  and then gradually become denser towards the mids and ends of the hair, mimicking the way the hair would lighten naturally in the sun.

These days, balayage has become bolder with the introduction of thicker painted sections around the hairline and the addition of foils to increase lightness and lift. These two techniques combine to create Foilayage. This coloring technique is mainly achieved using pre-lightening products which can then be toned with a gloss to add variations of color or neutralize. In 2023, fun fashion colors can be used to add vibrancy and playful tones. Of course, you can combine the two! We recommend neutralizing unwanted tones first before applying fashion shades. This is known as pretoning.

Make sure you have all of the products and tools you need to empower your salon with haircare and Nutri Color Filter™ color masks that will ensure the upkeep of these trending watercolor inspired shades and keep the blonde balayage hair color trend going at your salon.
