3style, my highlights were done with foils. Balayage probably would have been faster and I think I would have liked that. My stylist wanted to be more precise and had more confidence using the foils.....it was a trust building adventure for both of us.
Thanks Cardiff Girl. I am enjoying the shorter length, which can still be pulled up off my face and neck.
Thanks pil, Angie and Becky and Joyce B Keeping my hair healthy has gone a long way toward helping this process. Healthy hair always shines, no matter what the color.
Suz, I am most fortunate! I have known my stylist for years and I have only thrown surprises at her twice: once when I decided to have her cut it really short ( she does amazing short haircuts, but was nervous to do mine, because we had always done longer cuts and very similar styles) and a year ago when I said I wanted to stop coloring and go gray without a skunk stripe and asked, “So how do we do that?”
Robin F, yup....a huge initial investment in time. It is a good thing all the people at the salon and I like each other so much.....it would have been a BIGGER challenge if our feelings towards each other were less than comfortable. I was there so long, I could have been a piece of furniture!
