What Your Stylist Wants You to Know About Balayage

Balayage is a technique where your hair stylist artfully paints color into your hair with sweeping motions. In french, “balayage” means “to sweep.” The effect is super subtle highlights and/or lowlights that look like you just got back from a summer cruising the Mediterranean. Balayage tends to grow out more subtly than traditional highlights as well, so you may be going longer between service visits than traditional highlights.

To get the most out of a Balayage service, our stylists recommend the following:

  • Book a consultation beforehand if it’s your first time considering coloring your hair! Balayage is an art, and your stylist wants time to contemplate your unique look. This is not a one-size-fits-all color technique.
  • Come to your appointment with your hair as smooth as possible. Tangles and creases from hair-ties don’t lead to the best color application.
  • Those Instagram looks you love often include a technique where the roots have been colored a darker shade to ensure photo-worthy contrast.
  • That super-frosty silver/white color is tough to achieve if you have darker hair to begin with, and may require multiple visits to achieve full ice-princess.
  • If your hair has been colored before (yes, professionally or at home) it will affect your results, so please tell your stylist about any past coloring. It might mean that you need additional time or visits to get the best result.
  • The best balayage looks are overlapped looks, so multiple visits lead to the pretties most dynamic looks.
  • Yes, you can switch to balayage from highlights! It looks great!

Adventures of Bride to Be – Part 1

Bride To Be

The stylists at DryLand have seen hundreds of brides get ready for their big day. So what happens when a salon professional gets ready to tie the knot? Join us for a little series, we’re calling the Adventures of Bride to Be!

We’ll follow all of the hair and makeup trials, the fittings, the spray-tans and all the odds and ends leading up to feeling beautiful on your big day.

Meet the Bride to Be:

Bride To Be

Bride to Be is co-owner of DryLand Salon. She mostly manages the books and website at DryLand, but you may have seen her in the salon answering phones and manning the desk!

BtB used to be a yacht captain, and met Fiance (a yacht engineer) on the docks in Baltimore.

BtB loves a great blowout, and usually takes it easy on makeup, but she’s not afraid to go glam when the occasion calls for it… like a wedding!

 

 

The following is the first hair-trial!

Don’t forget to subscribe to DryLand’s youtube channel to follow along in the adventure!

Happy Mother's Day
Our mom at 60
Hair and Makeup by Caryn @drylandsalon

Here at DryLand we know we owe a lot to the woman who first brushed our hair and put it in a pony-tail. We pay back a little of that by keeping our mom’s hair looking shiny and healthy!

Our mom at 60 looks AMAZING! So what are her beauty secrets?

“You should always wear sunscreen.”

“Limit the stress in your life.”

“Good hair can make a good day.”

“Yes, you can print my age.” – see we had permission!

Happy Mother's Day
