3 Tricks To Get Hand-Painted Blonde Results
Now more than ever, guests are requesting blonding services—from open-air balayage to hair painting to major money pieces. Work faster and smarter—and achieve results guests are requesting—with these pro tips from L’Oréal Professionnel Artist Daniel Mason Jones (@danielmasonjones)!
1. Paint The Tiniest Baby Hairs
Grab even the tiniest of hairs at the hairline after either a balayage or foil highlight with this trick! Daniel says he likes to mix L’Oréal Professionnel Blond Studio Multi-Techniques Powder with 30-volume developer and L’Oréal Professionnel Smartbond Step 1 and use a mascara brush to grab every last hair.
2. Avoid Bleed
Ensure a bleed-free application by swapping cotton with Velcro rollers. “They keep the hair off the scalp and stay exactly where you place them,” Daniel says on Instagram.
3. Brighten Her In 3 Minutes
This guest came in for gray coverage and decided halfway through she actually wanted some blonde highlights. Daniel gently cleansed the color off and gave her this 3-minute “balayage” at the bowl with Blond Studio Multi-Techniques Powder + 40-volume developer + Smartbond Step 1. Because the hair is damp and a bit swollen, the lightener formula will work quickly.
