Balayage is among the most-requested haircolor techniques, and it’s not hard to see why. The free-hand technique of painting lightener onto the hair puts the stylist in complete control of his or her work. Not to mention the results are stunning. Marissa Neel of Republic Salon in Folsom, CA wanted her client’s locks to be bright and beachy, but very low maintenance. So she whipped up this custom formulation that gave her client’s blonde mane a multidimensional, natural-looking effect. Here’s her must-have formula!
