Tips before getting a balayage

Explanation:

When getting balayage, it's important to have clear communication with your colorist. Emphasize that you want a very natural, seamless finish, with thin “painterly strokes” of color. Also, stress what type of colors you want in your hair—and what colors you absolutely want to avoid (i.e. anything too brassy).

1. Always bring 3-4 photos from Pinterest or from your favorite bloggers that show the color and amount of blonde you want.2

2.  Get a fresh hair cut: Unfortunately, the bleach and dye absolutely kill your hair. I recommend getting a haircut right before you get any color done to avoid any more split ends. It would suck to just get your hair color done, and have to cut off most of the blonde a few months after because of damage.
