The Fabulous World of Ombre

Ombre with Glamourous
Waves

"Ombre" is a French word that signifies ” graduation, shadow.” In color terminology, it describes the graduation of color from dark roots to light ends. Ombre is sexy, sensual, versatile, easy to maintain, need I say more! It was laying low for quite some time and thanks to us (creative colorists) and celebrities showing it off, Ombre is here to stay. It's become one of the most requested color service in salons. Few, however, can perform this technique.

Be cautious when selecting the salon or the colorist. Don't be afraid to ask questions and to ask for pictures of their "Ombre" work.

As you can see in my picture, a great "Ombre" technique does not show lines of demarcations. Instead, color is diffused to blend mid-lengths with the the roots. In this manner, you do not see where the graduation of color really begins. It's like nature made.

Like any other color service, if it is not done right, it will not look right. Be diligent and good luck .

What It Means To Be A Master Hairdresser

“If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all” Michelangelo Instant mastery of hairdressing skills is something we all like to achieve as soon as we complete beauty school. Wait, not so fast! The reality is that the road ahead can be demanding and laborious. Becoming a master hairdresser requires humility, patience and hard work. Like any other field, hairdressing has its specialties (color and hairstyling) and sub specialties (keratin, texture hair, sessions, updo, etc.). It gives us ample choices to select an area to master. It's been tested and tried, no matter the field, that time and practice leads to expertise. No matter where you are, it takes at least two years of preparation to be a good hairdresser and six years and above to be great or achieve mastery. No matter how skillful you may think you are, the more you learn the greater you’ll be. Albert Einstein once said “Only one who devote...
