Babylights 2015 Hair Color Trend

Babylights 2015 Hair Color Trend – Have you heard about Babylights the latest hair color trend for 2015? M2 Salon’s stylist Margy Finegan says “I think it’s a silly name, but I love the effect, think natural highlights with a smoother and more gradual change than ombré.” The term “babylights” refers to a technique of painting on highlights in smaller sections to mimic the effect of a child who spends her days playing in the sun.

At M2 Salon in Morrisville, NC, Margy Finegan is using babylights as a great way to introduce highlights and dimension into the hair. Her clients are thrilled with this easy to maintain highlighting techinique that requires little upkeep and allows natural grow-out. This is the hair look for 2015 for anyone that desires very subtle, natural-looking highlights.

Hairstylists across the country are predicting Babylights could be the most-requested hair look in 2015. The color technique allows for the majority of your hair color to still be your natural color, only adding delicate accents to create the look. In addition to the low-maintenance upkeep, you will love how a few of the well-placed babylights can make your existing style look healthier and more dynamic.

“To create the look, there are three areas I focus on: Your hairline, natural part, and the ends of the hair,” M2 Salon’s stylist Margy Finegan advises. “The highlights should be baby-fine around the hairline and in the crown, with a soft graduation of color that is two shades lighter at the ends.” If you are interested in talking to Margy about babylights or any other hair color technique, just call 919-257-9007!

Margy Finegan suggests that although babylights is just an enhancement of your own hair color tones, it doesn’t mean you can skimp on the after-color care. Swap your current shampoo and conditioner for color-safe versions, and invest in a heat-protective product to act as a shield against damage from flat irons, blow dryers and curling wands to prevent any premature fading.

Hair Smoothing Treatment M2 Salon Morrisville NC

Hair Smoothing Treatment M2 Salon Morrisville NC – Hey there,  Just want to take a moment to tell you all about the new Amino Acid Peter Coppola Keratin Concept hair smoothing treatment I recently had at M2 Salon in Morrisville, NC.

The smoothing treatment was a hair game changer; it now takes me a fraction of the time to complete my hair routine in the morning! Just this one easy step knocked 30 mins off my morning prep time. Hair stylist, Margy Finegan offers the newest Keratin based hair treatment, recommending it over the older types of Keratin treatments which may contain formaldehyde as an ingredient. In addition, unlike the older Keratin Treatments, the new Peter Coppola amino acid smoothing treatment takes a fraction of the time to apply, allows the client to wash and/or color hair immediately and lasts for 3-4 months!

“Keratin is a great restorative treatment,” Margy says. “Even if you have a good hair type, it still strengthens the hair shaft and makes your hair shiny and more resilient.” I was hesitant at first, because I thought my 50+ year old hair was already straight enough. I was worried it would be too straight, not have enough body, but I put my faith and belief in Margy’s incredible hair stylist expertise and experience. At the risk of sounding over enthusiastic, I am happy to say this was the BEST thing I have ever done for my hair.

What so many women over 50 years of age don’t realise is that their hair (regardless of the style) is aging their looks. Hair becomes brittle, breaks off or begins to frizz up a bit as women get older. The new Amino Acid Peter Coppola Keratin Concept hair smoothing treatment smooths out the ends, adds a glossy shine and returns the bounce.

Please get this treatment, it is a great investment! I have never received so many compliments on my hair, people have stopped me to ask if I had something done, wanting to know what my secret was for turning the clock back a few years. Trust Margy Finegan, the best hair stylist in the Morrisville/Cary area and get the Peter Coppola Hair Smoothing Treatment at M2 Salon Morrisville NC.

Best Regards, Michele

HIGHLIGHT ONLY SERVICES

Highlight Only Services are for clients who are looking to enhance their natural hair color. For example a natural brunette who wants subtle honey highlights around the face would be a Face Frame Highlights. A natural dark blonde who wants to be brighter in general would choose either the Partial Head or Full Head option. The Top & Face option is most likely a service to be alternated with either a Partial Head, Full Head or Entire Head. The Entire Head option is usually when a more extreme color change is wanted and the client chooses to have every surface area highlighted.

HIGHLIGHT SERVICES WITH BASE BREAK  (for Lightening the Base Color and Blending Highlights)

Highlight Services with Base Break are for clients who are looking for a brighter softer blonde. Many clients who were blonde as children but eventually became darker as adults love this service. They find themselves getting highlights less frequently and when their roots would come in they have a quick Base Break Color which extends the fresh feeling of newly highlighted hair. Partial Head with Base Break color is our most popular option in this category.

HIGHLIGHT SERVICES WITH SINGLE PROCESS COLOR (for Grey Coverage and/or Tonal Change with Highlights)

Highlight Services with Single Process Color are loved by many clients. Blondes with natural grey sometimes begin to look washed out with Highlight Only Services, adding the right amount of color at their roots is key. Brunettes who need grey coverage and like variation choose the Single Process with Face Frame or Top & Face option, often adding an Overlay (an Add On Color Service). Redheads often choose this option to add variation to their hair. Single Process with Face Frame Highlights, Face and Top Highlights and Partial Highlights are our most popular combinations in this category.

SINGLE & DOUBLE PROCESS COLORS

Base Break Color – A gentle color that is used to gently lift (lighten) the portion of hair that will not be highlighted. Combining a Base Break with Highlights creates a softer, blended blonde. The only time that Base Break Color is a stand alone service is when the client comes in for a quick visit in between a Highlights with Base Break visit to extend the feel of freshly done Highlights.

Single Process Color – If your goal is to achieve grey coverage or a significant tonal change, then an all over Single Process Color is for you. Our preference is to do some foil work with our Single Process colors for added dimension. You may want to think about choosing an option that combines Foil Highlights with a Single Process Color.

Overlay – When combined with Single Process Services it is done to either refresh faded ends or for a tonal change. With Highlights it is sometimes used to achieve a cooler color or with Highlights and Base Color it may be used to add various tones and depth.

Double Process Color – With a true Double Process Color the hair is pre-lightened and then that hair is colored again with a second color called a toner.

ADD ON COLOR SERVICES

Lowlights – Most frequently an Add On Service, we find that Lowlights work best with Highlights or Highlights with Single Process Color Services. Lowlights however can be a stand alone service (in our appts online booking you would choose any of the Highlights Service option).

Overlay – When combined with Single Process Services it is done to either refresh faded ends or for a tonal change. With Highlights it is sometimes used to achieve a cooler color or with Highlights and Base Color it may be used to add various tones and depth.

CORRECTIVE COLOR SERVICES

Corrective Color is often a combination of various color services, most often combining Highlight Services with Single Process Color and other Add On Color Services like Lowlights and Overlays. Corrective Color Services can be very time consuming with the client needing to process two to three times, for this reason Corrective Colors Services are booked directly through Margy (see contact info below).

QUESTIONS?

As a color expert I understand these choices can be confusing to a new client or to a regular client who has a maintenance schedule that requires alternating Color Services. I am  happy to help you choose the right Color Service. If you have ANY questions please email me at [email protected]  or call me at 919-257-9007 and I will be more than happy to help!
