Bold Block Color
So cool. So edgy. So right now.
by Britt DuBose
With so many of our clients continuing to hunker
down at home, many of them are choosing to
have a little more fun with their hair color choices
by giving color blocking a go. Maybe a few bold
pops of color framing the face or one bright
blonde money piece. How about a pastel rainbow
peeking out from underneath? With myriad options,
this high-impact look is making a high-impact
comeback, and we are here for it.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Color blocking allows for endless creativity. It's a chance for us
to mix up our daily routines of balayage and root touch-ups and
try something different, and what hairstylist doesn't love that?
WHO IT'S BEST FOR
Block coloring is ideal for anyone looking to change things up
and have some fun. Bold colors over large sections work great for
your edgier clients. Someone looking to add some pizazz without
it being too "in your face" is a great candidate for a few sections of
contrasting color placed at the nape or around the ears. And your
balayage client looking for a more subtle change will be happy
with a chunkier and brighter money piece framing their face.
