Everything You Need to Know About Balayage

From beauty magazines to hair inspiration pins, you've heard the term “balayage" a lot recently. Often confused with ombre or babylights, it can be hard to determine if the color styles you are interested in are balayage or something else entirely. Although the differences between each of these styles appears subtle to the untrained eye, using the wrong term when requesting color from your hair stylist can mean different results than you anticipated. To determine if this is the look you are going for, consider the differences between these popular styles:

What is Balayage?

what+is+hair+balayage

For starters, balayage is not a color. Instead, it is a specific technique that is utilized by professional hair stylists during the application of hair color. The term hails from the elegantly chic French language and means “sweep" or “sweeping" and this is exactly how balayage is done. For balayage at Inscape Beauty Salon, we will use a small brush, or a paddle spatula, to gently apply the hair color in a sweeping motion. This is performed freehand and typically incorporates the most color at the ends of the hair with strategically placed strands incorporated in the front and sides. Because balayage is a technique, and not a color, it is crucial to choose a complementary hue. For instance, a brunette with a deep chocolate base would achieve a more natural look if balayage was performed with a caramel brown, rather than a platinum blonde. Like with any style, however, the balayage technique can be used to create a more dramatic look by choosing drastically different hues. If you are uncertain of which color is best for a subtle balayage, your Inscape Beauty Salon stylist will be happy to point you in the right direction.

How Balayage Differs from Babylights or Ombre?

difference+balayage+and+ombre

The goal of the balayage technique is to mimic the way that the sun naturally lightens hair. The result will look more subtle, much like the way a child's hair is lighter at the ends. To achieve this result, the freehand method is used instead of foils or caps which are traditionally used with highlights or babylights. Because strands are chosen at random during the color application, you avoid the noteable “streaks” of color from the roots to the ends of your hair that you get from babylights. Despite their ultra-thin nature, these babylights require as much maintenance as traditional highlights because they are applied throughout the entire length of the hair.

Ombre, on the other hand, refers more to a style than a technique. The ombre style describes a color that is typically darker at the roots and gradually gets lighter throughout the length of the hair. When it comes to hair coloring in South Florida, this has been one of our most popular styles over the past few years. Essentially, with a traditional ombre, the color at the ends will be drastically lighter than the roots. This same style can be done working backwards (where the hair is darkest at the ends and lighter at the roots) and this is known as a reverse ombre. Because each section of the hair is a different shade, any type of ombre is drastically more apparent than a balayage style.

Hair 911: Color Correction

As professionals in the hair industry, the most common dilemma we come across is hair color gone wrong. From slightly darker than anticipated to a shocking green hue, we have seen it all. All too often these unexpected shades are the result of a DIY dye job involving products from a local beauty supply store or standard box dyes from a neighborhood pharmacy. While these products seem simple to use, there is a lot of room for error. Fortunately, if your DIY dye job left you with undesirable results, we can help.

To fix a disastrous dye job, we use a process known as color correction. This is a broad term which consists of many different methods, but all of them aim to alter the current color to a more desirable shade. In most case, color will either need to be lightened (a process involving lifting out pigmentation) or darkened (where additional color is deposited) to reach this goal. In less severe cases, color correction may only warrant applying a toner to remove overly brassy hues.

Many make the mistake of attempting to correct a botched dye job by simply dying over the color with a darker one. While this sounds effective in theory, the result will be darker hair that is still a green or brassy shade. This is because a true color correction works in the same way that colored concealers work on the skin. Applying a green concealer will lessen the red appearance of a blemish, much like a green toner will decrease the overly red hues in hair. The utilization of colors which are opposite of one another on the color wheel (such as yellow and violet) play a large role in effective color correction.

For hair color correction at Inscape Beauty Salon, an initial consultation is required. This allows a professional stylist to assess the situation, discuss your desired results and evaluate the overall condition of your hair. From there, the stylist can determine how to proceed with color correction services as the approach must be determined on a case by case basis. For instance, a client with hair that is several (2 levels or more) darker than desired may need a triple-process, while a client with a mildly green hue may only need a red toner to neutralize it. Because the amount of time, color and other products used will vary drastically from one person to another, this initial consultation is also helpful in determining the cost of the service.

One of the most important benefits of a consultation, however, is the evaluation of your hair’s health. If your hair is in good shape, your stylist can likely get started right away. If your hair has become damaged during the dying process or was already in poor shape, your stylist may recommend focusing on the health of your hair before undergoing color correction. In many cases, color correction is a process that takes several weeks to complete to minimize damage.

Despite the vast amount of at-home dyes available at your local beauty supply store or pharmacy, hair coloring in South Florida is a job best left to our trained colorists. If you believe you need color correction services near Davie, book your consultation at Inscape Beauty Salon online today to get started.


How to Choose Your Perfect Hair Color

At Inscape Beauty Salon, we are enamored with luscious new hues and the latest coloring techniques. While many are equally smitten with trendy new shades, others prefer to stick to their favorite tried and true shades when receiving hair coloring. This doesn’t mean that those who always go brunette or blonde are limited to the same look for life, however. The possibilities for shades of brunette, blonde and red are truly endless but some prove to be more flattering against your skin tone than others. Here’s how to choose your perfect hair color:

skin tone for hair color

Consider Your Skin Tone

Perhaps you are a brunette who has sported a golden-brown shade for years. You love the way the color looks on celebrities and the way it makes your strands glisten in the sunlight. Unfortunately, however, when you look in the mirror it doesn’t quite take your breath away like you would expect.

You may chock it up to your makeup, the bags under your eyes or any other number of components, but this could be a simple matter of your hue not being well suited for your skin tone.

This is because everyone has their own skin tone and hue and what may look fantastic on a celebrity, simply does not always highlight your best features. To determine your hue, start by looking at the veins on your hands and wrists. If the veins appear blue or purple, your skin has cool undertones. If they look greener, you have warm undertones. If neither color seems to fit the description, you may be lucky enough to have neutral undertones.

hair shade hue skin tone

Choose a Shade and Hue that Matches Your Skin Tone

Cool Tones

Ashy hues help to counteract any red hues in your cool skin tone. This results in a more flattering complexion than you would have if you were to choose a warm toned hair color.

Consider these cool toned shades of blonde, brown and red that will be most flattering:

Blonde: Platinum, Silver, Ash, or Champagne hues are your best bet for going blonde.

Brown: To pull off deep brown locks with your cool complexion opt for colors with Chestnut, Mocha, Deep Chocolate, Dark Auburn bases.

Red: Dare to go for a bold red? Look for a color that has Auburn, Burgundy or Deep Red hues.

Warm Tones

Warm toned hair colors reduce the appearance of any blue undertones in your skin, which also enhances the look of your skin.

Blonde: For warm skin tones, steer clear of platinum shades which will leave you looking washed out. Instead, aim for a blonde with hints of Gold, Butterscotch, Amber, Honey or Caramel colors.

Brown:  A pale and ashy brown color will have the same affect on your warm skin tone as platinum blonde hair. To embrace your tone, choose a Golden Brown, Deep Honey, Mahogany or Cinnamon brown.

Red: Having a warm undertones doesn’t mean you’re stuck with natural red colors. For a lighter look go for Strawberry Blonde and explore Copper and Rust shades for more dramatic reds.

natural shade of blonde, brown, red

Add Dimension to Your Color

Regardless of which shade you opt for, if you choose a flat color, your hair color will look lackluster. To get the most natural looking shade of blonde, brown or red, ask your Davie hair salon stylist to create a color with a rich base and subtle highlight, lowlights, or babylights. This will be nearly undetected most but it will add more depth to your color. For hair coloring, we utilize our top of the line color bar to create dimensional hues that are catered to each individual.

hair salon colored products touch ups

Follow Up with Products for Colored Hair and Regular Salon Touch-Ups

To keep your coloring shining bright until your next touch up, be sure to invest in a shampoo and conditioner that is designed for colored hair. This will minimize fading, dryness and damage. We recommend L’Oréal SerieExpert Vitamino Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner to maintain healthy locks and a fade free color. Likewise, be sure to resist the temptation to dye your roots at home. Box-dyes can result in unpleasant results and excessive damage, so your best bet is to stick to regular color touch up appointments at your local Davie hair salon.

If you need help determining your perfect hair color, one of our skilled Inscape Beauty Salon stylists will be happy to point you in the right direction. Schedule your consultation or appointment at our Davie hair salon online now!


6 Valentine’s Day Hairstyles That Your Date Will Find Irresistible

Whether your idea of a romantic Valentine's Day date includes an energetic night in Fort Lauderdale and Miami or a quiet weekend getaway in the Keys, you want to look your best in all those cute couple selfies you'll be snapping. One of the simplest ways to upgrade your look for this special occasion is to try a new hairstyle. If you’re looking for something more than your ordinary hairdo, try one of these sultry Valentine's Day date night looks:

soft wave valentines day in South Florida

Soft Waves

A truly classic and elegant style, you can’t go wrong with voluminous, bouncy waves for Valentine’s Day. This look can be created through classic methods like hot rollers, or with a large barrel curling iron. Regardless of which method you choose, use a finishing spray to add shine and eliminate flyaways. The result is a polished and seductive look that anyone can pull off. For best results, visit your local Davie hair salon for a trim beforehand.

The sliced back wet look

The Slicked Back Wet Look

The slicked back wet look has been sported by celebrities all around the world in recent years. The key to nailing this style lies in the products you use. Opt for a hair gel that provides a strong hold without leaving your hair stiff or sticky. Afterall, Valentine’s Day is all about romance and nothing kills the mood quite like running your hands through sticky hair.

windblown hair style

Windblown

Even if your Valentine’s Day plans don’t include a long walk on the beach with the wind blowing through your hair, you can get the look at home. This style is all about looking carefree and wild. To pull it off, apply plenty of mousse and a lightweight oil, like argan oil. This will keep your hair in place and make it shine without weighing it down. Next, divide your hair into four equal sections and blowdry one section at a time. As you blowdry, use a large round brush and gently twist the hair around it. This will create volume and that sexy windblown look.

A grown-up twist on a classic style, the fishtail (or inverted) braid instantly adds a little something extra to your look.

polished pony hairstyle

Polished Pony

If you typically wear your hair down for date night, switching to an updo can easily transform your style from ordinary to romantic. You can’t go wrong with an ultra-polished pony. It is simple yet looks stunning for every occasion. Be sure to apply a lightweight oil or finishing spray to get rid of frizz and keep your locks looking glossy.

The Ultimate Guide to Repairing Damaged Hair

Nothing ruins a fantastic cut, color or style like damaged hair. Sometimes you know exactly what caused the damage: improper use of hair dyes, excessive use of heating tools or frequent applications of bleach are the top offenders. Other times, however, the reason for damaged hair is less noticeable. Actions like skipping regular trims, wearing your hair in tight ponytails or using harsh shampoos, also lead to hair loss, breakage and split ends over time. Regardless of what turned your once glamorous locks into a dry, tangled mess; there is hope for restoring it to its former glory.

hair+damage+assess+damage

Assess the Damage

First things first, look at your hair and assess the level of damage. Is your hair breaking, falling out or dry? These are telltale signs of damage, but dry, coarse or otherwise lackluster locks are also an indicator that your hair is not at its healthiest. If the damage is severe, it is wise to consult a professional for guidance before the situation gets worse. The hair gurus at Inscape Beauty Salon are happy to assess your level of damage and put you on the path to healthy hair.

determine the cause of hair damaged

Determine the Cause

If you know what is causing your hair woes, it is crucial to eliminate the problem. For instance, if you find yourself dying your hair with a box dye frequently, try to abstain from dying for a few months. Likewise, if you utilize a blow dryer, curling wand or straightening iron every day, try to decrease usage or operate these tools on a lower temperature setting until your hair has time to recover.

get a haircut to fix damages

Get a Haircut

Our hair salon in Davie is known for precise cuts and cutting-edge styles, but we also do our fair share of regular trims. Trims are important for eliminating split ends that would spread to the roots if left in place. The cut does not have to be drastic but cutting off the worst areas of damage is a great place to start when you are aiming for healthy hair.

hair+treatment

Opt for a Hair Treatment

Hair treatments in South Florida are one of the most popular ways to repair dry, damaged hair. At Inscape Beauty Salon, we offer several treatments including a renowned L'Oréal SerieExpert Powermix Treatment, Agave Keratin Treatment and a Fusion Plex Intense Repair Mask. Each one of these treatments drastically improve the manageability and condition of your hair and are a fantastic way to start your journey to healthier hair.

L'Oreal absolut repair shampoo for damaged hair

Use Products Formulated for Damaged Hair

Is your current shampoo or conditioner intended for damaged hair? Often, those with damaged hair continue to use harsh products on their hair without realizing that these products may be adding to the damage. Shampoos that are formulated specifically for damaged hair are much gentler than clarifying shampoos, while regular conditioners may not be adding enough moisture. For clients with moderate to severe damage, we recommend the L'Oréal Professionnel SerieExpert Absolut Repair Shampoo, Conditioner, and Mask.

healthy diet is good for hair

Eat a Healthy Diet

To attain healthy, beautiful hair, it is equally important to focus on your diet. This is because your body needs essential vitamins for your hair to grow and maintain its integrity. Foods like avocado, salmon, eggs and almonds are ideal for speeding up hair growth and giving it a natural shine. You can also add a multivitamin to your diet to ensure that all of your body’s needs are being met.

While damaged hair cannot instantly be repaired, after following these steps for several weeks, the condition of your hair should be notably improved. If you are not seeing results after several months, it may be wise to consult a physician or a dermatologist to rule out other causes.

10 Hair Trends to Watch Out for in 2019

It’s official: 2018 has come to an end. As we fondly reminisce over the greatest hair trends the year brought us, we bravely look ahead to the future. So, what can we expect to see here in our Davie, Florida hair salon and around the globe? All signs point to fierce color and even more dramatic cuts:

Lilac Locks

Lilac Locks

For 2019, beauty industry experts are predicting that Lilac hues will be all the rage. This shade of purple is dramatic, yet soft and pastel. It is not as over the top as the neon colors sported on the runway last year, but still definitely makes a statement.

Baby Fringes

Baby Fringes

Dubbed the “baby fringe” for its similarity to a child’s first bangs, these bangs start several inches above the eyebrows and can be either wispy or blunt. It is a style that you either absolutely love or would never even consider. There is no in-between for this polarizing hairdo, but hair gurus predict it will be a top trend for 2019.

The Updated Throwbacks

The Updated Throwbacks

While a general category, this year will be one where you note a lot of modern updates being made to older styles. For instance, the updated short French bob and tight perms.

90s Style Hair Accessories

’90s Style Hair Accessories

Another hot new trend is the resurgence of ‘90s style hair accessories. From scrunchies to butterfly clips and zigzag headbands, they are all socially acceptable (encouraged, even) once again.

Copper Colors

Copper Colors

Nearly every hairstylist agrees that copper hair colors will be one of the trendiest hues of 2019. In our Davie, Florida hair salon we combine reds and oranges at our color bar to develop a one-of-a-kind copper tone.

Slicked Back

Slicked Back

Taking a cue from the future 2019 runway looks, it appears as if the slicked back style of the ‘90s is also making its way back. Whether curly or straight, this style involves adding gel to tame any strays and create a somewhat “wet” look.

Everything Flowers

Everything Flowers

Wearing flowers in your hair is not a new concept, but it will be one that is spotted all over the world this year. Whether an actual fresh flower, a clip or a headband, this ultra-feminine look can be pulled off by anyone.

Colorful Extensions

Colorful Extensions

Hair extensions in Davie have typically been colored to match your natural hair. In 2019, many people are opting for a less subtle look. Instead of matching the color of the extensions, they are being colored an electrifying shade so that they stand out.

The Grunge Look

The Grunge Look

A common theme for 2019 is taking inspiration from the ’90s. A time where grunge was all the rage, it isn’t surprising that second and third day, messy hair is already becoming a top trend.

Long Live the Top Knot

Long Live the Top Knot

One of our favorite trends from 2018 is coming along for another year. The top knot is still a trendy, go-to style. To give it a more updated and grungy twist, be sure to pull a few face framing pieces down.

Start off the New Year with a brand-new you! Our team of professional stylists at Inscape Beauty Salon are in tune with the latest trends in the world of hair and we are happy to lead you in the right direction. Whether you want to explore a bold new color or a subtler cut, book your appointment online today to discuss all the possibilities for your 2019 style.


Hair Trend Recap: 2018

With the year rapidly coming to an end, we think back fondly on all the fantastic hair trends that were sported here in Florida and around the globe. From the classics that received a breath of fresh air thanks to A-list celebrities, to the fresh and edgy new twists on color, 2018 certainly was a great one for glamorous locks. Take a stroll down memory lane as we recap some of the top hair trends of the last year:

braided-hair-casual-eyeglasses-405041.jpg

1. Dutch Braids and Cornrows

These classic braided styles were all the rage among celebrities in 2018. According to Pinterest, this trend extended to the general public as well with searches for braided styles going up 445% since the end of 2017. Because of their versatility, it is likely that Dutch braids and cornrows (or “boxer braids”) will stick around for 2019.

attractive-beautiful-beauty-415829.jpg

2. The Low-Slung Messy Bun

Despite the fact the messy bun has been a staple for years, the style saw a resurgence this year. Stylists associate its rise in popularity with the fact that it is dubbed a signature style for the ultra-chic Meghan Markle. Unlike previous years where the messy bun was placed high on the head, 2018 was all about the messy bun situated at the nape of the neck with loose, face-framing strands.

adolescent-attractive-beautiful-709802.jpg

3. Curtain Bangs

Long gone were the bold and blunt fringes of years past. In 2018, curtain bangs offered a low commitment fringe. Parted down the middle, curtain bangs were easy to style and required less frequent trims than a precise, straight-across fringe.

attractive-beautiful-beauty-1147395.jpg

4. The Wet Look

The wet look was back and better than ever. This popular style is accomplished with gel or mouse and has been pulled off in several ways over the years. This year, however, the key was slicking the front back to achieve a fresh out of the shower look that lasts all day long.

design-desk-display-313690.jpg

5. The Top Knot

Simple, low-maintenance and chic, the top knot was the go-to style for casual and formal occasions alike. From all up, to half-up and half-down, this hairdo was extremely versatile and suitable for most hair lengths.

back-blond-hair-close-up-1321916.jpg

6. Subtle Pops of Color

After the ombre craze of 2017, this year we saw a subtler approach to hair coloring in Davie. Ombres transformed to the less dramatic sombre, but fun pastels remained a common request.

beautiful-beauty-brown-eyes-1065084.jpg

7. Caramel Hues

Another style inspired by Meghan Markle, caramel hues were another big trend in color. Like Markle’s style, a dark chocolate base with light hints of a golden caramel gave the illusion of naturally flawless locks.

beautiful-blonde-fashion-37598.jpg

8. Pixie Cuts

For anyone daring to go short in 2018, the solution was a pixie cut at your local hair salon in Davie. Dubbed the “year of the pixie” by fashionistas, pixie cuts of varying lengths were spotted on some of the hottest celebrities in Hollywood.

adult-attractive-beautiful-1663064.jpg

9. The New Shag

Shaggy hair styles reminiscent of ‘70s rockstars were one of the top haircuts of the year. A lot of layers and volume made this a low-maintenance but trendy look.

attractive-beautiful-beauty-159780.jpg

10. Lobs

A “lob”, or “long bob”, was another signature look for 2018. Gracing, or just barely extending past the shoulders, the lob was especially popular for those who opted to grow out their short or angular bobs from 2017.

Six Festive Ways to Style Short Hair for the Holidays

Long locks, while more time-consuming to maintain, have an array of style possibilities for every occasion. From down and flowing to intricate chignons and everything in-between, it isn’t hard to find a flattering and festive style for the holidays. Those with short manes, on the other hand, may feel limited in terms of fresh hair styles. Fear not; however, for here are six quick and easy techniques for styling short hair for any holiday celebration:

ringlet curls hair

Add Some Ringlets

Is your short hair usually stick straight? Adding curls is a fantastic way to add volume and breathe some new life into hair of any length. If your hair is shorter than shoulder-length, opt for a small barrel curling iron to create well-defined and small ringlets. Spritz with your favorite hairspray to hold the style in place while you party through the night.



braided top knot hair style

Go for a Braided Top Knot

Elegant meets edgy with a braided top knot hair style. The only requirement for your short locks is that they are long enough to create a single braid that lies tightly against the scalp. Begin the braid at your hairline and work your way back until you reach the top of your head. From there, secure the braid and then gather your remaining strands (as well as the end of the braid) in a loose top knot.

pin curls hair style

Try Loose Pin Curls

For a sultry, vintage look, opt for pin curls. This look can be created with many techniques. One of the most popular; however, is to simply separate the hair into small sections and twist each section into a loose curl. Secure each pin curl in place using a bobbi pin or hair clip and leave them in place overnight. When you wake, remove them to reveal flawless pin curls that are sure to garner plenty of attention at any event.

bright red splash hair color

Add a Splash of Color

Hair coloring in Davie is one of the most popular services around the holidays. Whether hiding grays, covering roots or experimenting with a new look, color can make all the difference. If you are usually blonde or brunette, a bright red will offer all of the excitement you need to renew your love for your short locks.

low chignon hair style

Sport a Low Chignon

Chignons are the ultimate sophisticated style and are ideal for any type of gathering. Despite what you may think, they can work with short hair styles just as well as long ones. To pull off a chignon with short locks, the key is to keep it low and around the nape of the neck.
