I knew I was in good hands the moment I stepped inside the salon. Piero is located in the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica's Main Street, inhibiting an open and airy space paired with a clean and modern decor. Diane introduced me to Lecie, the salon's ombre specialist. She's a super sweet girl with tons of coloring experience as she had worked at some of the most elite salons in the city. There was no need for me to describe what I wanted to achieve, as she knew exactly what would work on me. Lecie used the balayage highlighting technique, which is performed by literately hand painting highlights in a specific pattern formation to achieve the desired free-flowing effect. The word balayage is actually French-meaning "sweeping", which basically describes the sweeping motion used in applying (painting on) the highlights. It's a modern technique of hair highlighting that can give you a more softer natural sun-kissed look, as opposed to the stripy contrasting highlights of traditional foiling methods. My hair became a canvas displaying Lecie's talented artistry!
The entire process took a little less than four hours as she also touched up my roots. When I saw the final reveal, I was happily surprised by how natural the highlights looked! They truly blend seamlessly with my hair color, projecting a chic but laid-back LA summer look.
Thank you Diane and Lecie for satisfying my ombre desires!
The salon is located in the middle of an open courtyard |
Love the new hair! Looks beautiful. The salon environment also looks inviting and cozy. If I am to spend half my night sleep time somewhere, at least it has to be cozy. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous!!! I've been wanting to do this to my hair forever, but my hair dresser won't since I am so blonde she says it'd be very hard to do :( It looks so, so, so good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow, following you back now! Hope you got the chance to check out our giveaway for a Tiffany & Co. necklace!!

Wow, it looks so natural and pretty! Gorgeous! I had this done to my hair last winter, but went back to blond highlights because of premature grays! They blend better with blond hair in my opinion. At one point, I had chestnut brown at the roots, fading to light golden brown in the middle, to golden blond at the tips.
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks really great on you - effortless and chic for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and have a good weekend!
