Balayage
One of the services we are asked for the most at Bonne Vie Salon is Balayage. It is a French word that means “to sweep” or “to paint. This freehand painting technique deposits color throughout the hair in a sweeping motion, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, which creates a natural, sun-kissed look. The thing that makes balayage different from highlights is that by keeping the color off your roots at the beginning, it makes the grow-out almost as seamless as it gets, and there should be no lines of demarcation going forward. Smash balayages are the same, as your Smash stylist customizes your balayage to work best with your hair type, skin tone, and desired level of brightness, whether you’re looking for a natural caramel or a vibrant blonde. Balayage is suitable for all hair lengths and textures and is ideal for clients who want a beachy, low-maintenance look that will continue to grow out naturally for up to 12 weeks.
Foil Highlights
Conventional foil highlights are a surefire way to achieve a bright, precise look. At Bonne Vie, our stylists will divide small parts of your hair, apply a lightener to those parts, and then envelop the lightened parts in foils, isolating them from the rest of your hair. It offers better placement and intensity than painting, and it provides a good look if you’re after strong, chunky highlights or a significant transformation. Ideal for clients who want a dramatic all-over color change or wear an updo and demand uniform color, foil highlights are the service to recommend. The FHN highlights can last as long as 6-8 weeks between appointments because of the foil used. Yes, it takes time, but our team will ensure that your hair is not compromised by using the best products and techniques.
Babylights
Babylights are also a favorite at Bonne Vie Hair Salon for a softer, more natural appearance. This technique utilizes super-fine, ultra-thin highlights to achieve smooth, sun-kissed tones reminiscent of the ones Mother Nature gave you as a child. We apply lightener to weaved hair in small sections to create a soft, seamless look that won’t cover your original base color but will add a pop of brightness, a blend of colors called balayage that adds an accent of brightness to your natural base. Babylights are great for women who don’t want to spend 2019 in the salon and instead want an easy cut with a little playfulness. They complement all hair colors – from blonde to brunette – and need to be reapplied every 8-12 weeks to maintain that subtle shimmer.
Ombré
Ombré (French for “shadow” or “shade”) refers to the French-termed color style that is a dramatic, two-toned hair color effect that is typically darker at the top and lighter on the bottom. The expert stylists at Bonne Vie expertly mix darker with lighter hues for depth and dimension, making this idea an excellent choice for those who want to make an eye-popping fashion statement. Waves, there is an ombre hair color for everyone. It may be subtle and caramel-like, or it may be as outrageous as platinum blonde or red. It’s also great for women who want a low-maintenance look; once your darker roots grow in, they will contrast beautifully with the lighter color, so you’ll only need touch-ups every 8-12 weeks.
Sombré
Sombré, which is an abbreviation for “subtle ombré,” is an ombré technique with a lighter touch. Here at Bonne Vie, we work with the balayage technique, which means you will have a flowing blend from dark roots to light that is perfect for a natural, “sun-kissed” look. Sombre is ideal for the client who wants the deep, dimensional look of ombré without the dramatic shift of color. This look is easy to maintain, too, which is perfect for girls who are always on the go. It grows out with your natural regrowth and only needs touch-ups every 10-12 weeks. Our colorists tailor sombré to enhance your features and flatter your meticulously selected skin tone.
Foilage
Foilage combines the accuracy of foil highlights with balayage’s soft beauty, resulting in a dimensional and glossy look. Here at Bonne Vie, we hand-paint certain parts and also use foils in a way that amplifies the lightning effect while weaving other sections of your hair through to ensure a blended, softer outcome. This combo technique is perfect for the client who adores the lightness that foil highlights allow but prefers a natural, sun-kissed look à la balayage. Foilage is personalized, which means you can achieve a “that’s just you” look – typically, you’ll need maintenance every eight to 10 weeks.
Face-Framing Highlights
Face-framing highlights are tailored to highlight your face and give you a luminous, contoured glow. At Bonne Vie, our designers and artists hand-paint highlights throughout your hairline and around the cheekbones to provide you with a bold, harmonious frame that sets off your natural curves. For clients who want something that isn’t overt but still visible , this is ideal because it brightens the face without affecting the entire head of hair. Face-framing highlights can also be paired with other coloring techniques, such as balayage or foils, for an even more dimensional style. They need to be touched up every 6-10 weeks, depending on how thick you want this to look.
Chunky Highlights
For an eye-catching look, try some oversized highlights, which give a modern twist to a nostalgic ’90s look. At Bonne Vie, our specialists work with larger sections of color, creating high-contrast hair painting that features fun, bold streaks that will stand out against your base. For clients who want to experiment with dashes, bright hues, or a clear style statement, this is perfect. This is chunky highlights with the use of foils to achieve a more even application. There is a variety of colors available, including platinum blonde, deep reds, and pale shades. You will need a touch-up every 6-8 weeks to keep the look fresh and brilliant.
