I got my hair “painted” with the Balayage technique at the Roy Teeluck Salon. I figured that I needed to treat myself to one nice, expensive salon because of my past bad experiences. If you mention Yelp, you get 20% off your entire service!

Since I was a full paying customer, I asked for a cappuccino and finished my Catcher in the Rye.

My colorist was Sandy (she had gotten great reviews on Yelp) and she did such a GREAT job of giving me exactly what I wanted! I told her that I had gotten my roots done at Butterfly and she mentioned that my hair seemed very “matte” which I thought was a perfect description.  It just seemed very bland and had NO texture. I told her I wanted to REALLY brighten it up, and that I wasn’t afraid of having really light hair. (I actually prefer it)

Before

Here’s what I looked like during the waiting process of Balayage.

After (I was not happy with my face so I blacked it out, hehe)

I liked my color a lot, but I’m really am NOT digging my new haircut & bangs.  I just don’t think I look right with bangs so I wore it for the day and went back to my normal hair style. I think the short look makes me look rounder (and I already feel the fattness from the holidays/winter!)

This experience made me dislike my Butterfly studio experience and like Roy Teeluck better. Sandra actually said that my cut wasn’t very good, so the blowdry guy tried to make it better adding a few more layers. (more cutting! ahhh!) I’m staying away from salons for awhile because I’ll end up with boycut length hair if I keep going back!  It’s funny how they always criticize other salons as if they were 100% wrong and they think they are 100% right!

I love the Balayage look and I do think it’s way better than foils. It looks way more natural and I don’t feel like it’s as harsh/toxic. I’m glad to have my hair light again, now that the weather is starting to become less cold!
