For delicate, tone-on-tone highlights that uses a minimum number of foils? This two-step backcomb balayage is your best bet according to Matrix Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas who works with celebs like Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Madonna and Haley Baldwin.

“These looks are modern because they’re seamless, and they’re super low-maintenance. My girls only come in two-to-four times a year,” Says George. “They’re also fast—I don’t use a lot of foils at all. I don’t want eight hour projects in the salon!”

BTC Member and Paul Mitchell Color Educator Cassandra McGlaughlin has done her fair share of balayage makeovers for her clients at Platinum Salon in Tampa, FL, so she decided to share her tried and true secrets with the BTC Community.

“Balayage is all the rage, but sometimes you need the incubation and control of foil,” Cassandra says. “This is a go-to technique of mine when I want a lived-in highlight but have a canvas that needs the lift that foil gives.” Starting with a previously-colored red canvas, Cassandra added cool, caramel tones and dimension to remove the red and even out the base. Here’s how she did it.
