Lived-In Color & Style at Salon Envy


a.k.a. The after-math of ombre. Created by Ramirez and his entire team in Beverly Hills, California that specialize in "lived-in color" - a subtle, enturing way of highlighting your hair that he insists is neither balayage nor ombre. "Lived-in Color" is also known as the 6 month color.

Its about as low maintenance as you can get with hair color, but as cutting edge as hair color can be.. We love this technique and are thrilled about the new opportunity to go to Beverly Hills and take classes from Ramirez-Tran Salon hopefully in the next year.

In the mean time, follow Ramirez on instagram and continue to gawk at his work. We specialize in balayage in at Salon Envy and LOVE to incorporate some of his color techinques into our salon.

Sombre & Ombre: Fall 2015

S'Ombre hair color is 'subtle ombre'. Ombre hair color where the transition from dark to light is natural and a slight color difference. Ombre is where the transition from dark to light hair color is more dramatic.
 
For Fall 2015, the more natural looking hair color, the better. Balayage Hair color is huge for S'Ombre or O'mbre. Balayage hair color is where the color is painted on to create a natural, graduated transition. O'mbre and S'Ombre hair color is doing using the balayage hair painting technique.


 


 

P.S. Don't let the length of your hair stop you! Balayage Ombre can be done on any hair length!you! Balayage Ombre can be done on any hair length!

Fall/Winter Hair Color Trends for 2013

Posted:
As you may or may not know Salon Envy, located in Chicago, has upgraded their color to L'Oreal Professionel. L'Oreal Professionel has the most beautiful, vibrant shades around! With this blog post I am going to cover fall/winter hair color trends inspirited from L'Oreal!



Sombre

Sombre is the latest trend in the ombre phenomenon. Sombre is a softer, subtler ombre. Cascading from darker to lighter, with less contrast. This technique can be used for any skin tone!

Rose Gold

Rose gold is a great new fall color. It is the perfect balance between copper/apricot. The final look must be rich, look natural and be full of light. This color is ideal for cooler skin tones, but depending on the shade, it can be made for anyone.

Icy Brown

This year the catwalks delivered a ton of wet looks, creating the illusion that the models' hair looked darker and icier than it was. For fall we are seeing a lot of clients coming in wanting that shiny, icy brown. It is ideal for warmer skin tones, the contrast between the cool hair and then warm skin is beautiful.
