Hair Color for Spring

Jon English® Hairspa encourages you to go blonde! Be on the watch this Spring and Summer for blondes to get even blonder. And, if you're a daring-type, go platinum! Blonde hair looks great in short, cropped cuts, or a slightly messier and textured look. If you don't feel like committing to going all-the-way-blonde, think about adding some thin highlights around your face to frame your features and lighten your look.

All shades of red are fresh for springtime, too. From the classic strawberry blonde to rich auburn, the choices are endless. If red feels like a risk, then do a test run with a temporary color service, before taking the plunge.

If you're a brunette who wants to stay natural, but kick it up a notch, go for warmer browns and browns rich in reds and copper undertones. To increase your natural highlights and radiance, we recommend using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as the Replenishing Shampoo & Conditioner by Jon English Products, along with a drop of Miraculous Finishing Gloss to bring out the shine.

Painterly Hair

Every woman wants to stand out when it comes to their hair color, but many want it to look like she was born with it as well. The French technique of Balyage (when means 'sweeping' or 'streaked color' in French) gives a natural but rich and colorful appearance to the hair. Many shades and tints of the same hair color are used, painted on lightly and accurately strand-by-strand to push the dimension and the silhouette of the hairstyle.

At JON ENGLISH® HAIRSPA, our stylists are well trained in the Balyage technique, giving you the option each and every appointment to maximize the depth and uniqueness of your natural hair color range. Resulting in the 'beach-comber' effect, transitions between these colors are soft, due to the application being done with a brush and a free hand, as opposed to the abrupt slicing of sections that results from applying color with foils. If you're feeling more adventurous, talk to your stylist about the 'Bardot' effect, which means lighter tones on the ends, and darker more vibrant tones at the roots.

Balyage at Jon English® Hairspa starts at $80. Call 612.824.2474 to make an appointment today!
