"My client came in and wanted a new look," says Megan Allen (@hairstylistmeganallen) of Salon 29:11 Smithfield, NC. "We were doing just highlights for the longest time but this time she wanted to go lighter and brighter. She stated in her consultation that she still wanted to keep her highlights but incorporate ombré. So I did a foilage technique to brighten her up. She loved it and so did I!"

Starting level: 7 with highlights 

Formula A: Joico Vero Light and 20 volume

Formula B: Joico Vero Light and 10 volume 

Formula C: Joico Lumishine 1oz. 9NV Demi and 1oz. 5 volume 

Step 1: Start out by using formula A highlighting parallel to her part fine weaving sections from ear to ear and then down the back of her head.

Step 2: Balayage the hair that is left out between the foils using formula B.

Step 3: No heat was used because she was already so light and she lifts quick. Process for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Remove foils and rinse and shampoo. At the bowl apply formula C, glazing from scalp to ends. Process for about 10 minutes. Shampoo again and apply Joico K-PAK to hydrate.
