Adding Another Dimension with 4D Foilayage
From old money honeys to pearly platinums to goddessy goldens, everyone is betting on blonding right now. Yes, it’s safe to say that blonding is definitely buzzing. We’re seeing all different shades serving some serious slaying power, and Matrix fam, we are HERE for it.
When it comes to balayage vs. highlights vs. foilayage however, while many clients come into the salon wanting one of these hair color techniques, some have a difficult time knowing what will work best for their hair. Or maybe a client thinks they know what they want, but it’s not the correct technique to achieve the desired look. Either way, we know it’s oftentimes up to you as the pro to guide them in the right direction to ensure a killer result.
And if you know Matrix, you know that we’re always looking to set you up for success by providing techniques to add to your arsenal. And we’re always going to take it to the next level – this time with LOTS of extra dimension.
That’s why we’re kicking it up a notch with our own signature blonding service: say hello to the 4D Foilayage!
