I recently had a client who wanted to go white. like ALL OVER white blonde hair. Problem is- she has fine, fragile hair with preexisting tint and medium brown hair.

Always one for a hair challenge, I was totally game.

I will say I was a bit worried but thanks to OLAPLEX- a new to the industry game changer I had my bases covered.

As it turns out we got her to a gorgeous silvery white blonde and her hair is still on her head. In fact, it feels fantastic! Such a process, but her hair doesn't look gummy or over processed. OF course there is natural dryness-but as a whole her hair handled it well.

So now I introduce the magic of this "bond multiplier."

Olaplex was created by "two of the world’s leading PHD’s in Materials and Chemistry that had never worked on hair products before, Dr. Eric Pressly and Dr. Craig Hawker. With this fresh outlook, this dream team invented a single ingredient chemistry, that is free of silicone or oils, that links broken bonds in the hair during and after chemical services making them stronger than they were before."

What does this mean?

Well whenever you are lifting or lightening hair, you are working within the hair shaft. The bonds of the hair are broken, allowing the product to effectively lift or alter the pigment out of the hair. This means the hair strand in itself weakens which increases the fragility of the hair. Lightened or "chemically treated" hair tends to be more suseptible to damage since the bonds of the hair have been broken.

Insert Olaplex.

Since the product is mixed INTO your hair color formula, it is working simultaneously at repairing the bonds as it processes, making hair stronger and eliminating severe damage.

After the service there is a Treatment; Bond No. 2 that is applied to the hair and left on for about 10 minutes.

And Voila! Finito.

Hair is left beautifully soft, strong and healthy.

If your interested in adding olaplex into your service please be aware of a few key notes:

-This product is an add-on service, so there is an additional cost.

-Product slows the lifting process, so you will be in the salon for longer. About an average 40 minutes longer between both the processing and treatment time.

-This product does not give you a free for all card to lighten highly damaged and compromised hair. We as stylists still need to use our best judgement, and may politely turn away clients who are asking for the impossible.

"Sooo you paint hair?"

"I mean, you literally paint hair with a product that allows true lift for saturation?!"--I apologize for the industry lingo above-this is my hair brain FREAKING OUT!

As a stylist who has been playing around with balayage for 4 years and experimenting with different products, this is music to my ears. I feel like my tool box has seriously tripled in size...how so? I took a fantastic class with Aubrey Nelson.

Aubrey Nelson is an incredibly talented hair colorist who specializes in the art of hair painting..and she is seriously good.

Aubrey working her magic! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I was so excited to be a part of her San Diego Hair Color Workshop this past weekend. It was like the icing on the cake for me, a hair nerd who just LOVES balayage and effortless looking hair.

The Color Workshop was the perfect blend. Enough time to talk details about the technique of hair painting and two models to practice on.

Kinda scary right?? Wait till you see the after photo...

So whats this mean for you, my clients?

- I will warn you this product is a bit messier than we are use to so you will feel like your hair is covered in white paste..but don't fret! I've got you covered and you'll leave with something like this:

Model #1 the lovely Kensey. #bmastershair

Total babe, right??

We will be having lots of fun transitioning your color or just adding new dimension into your existing color. Hair painting is allowing me to customize EVEN further, creating beautiful and dimensional looks.

New clients, interested in experiencing hair painting for the first time?

I’d love to have you join me in the adorable Downtown Burlingame.

info@bmastershair.com for appointments.

- Take some time, get your hair all fabulous and meet up with a girlfriend or two for drinks after..I mean, Pizza Delfina and cocktails at Barrel House seem like a pretty good ending to a fun, pampering hair appointment.

Who wouldn't want to show off their new locks when they could look like this:
