CHAIRSALONS
“I know, it sounds like some sort of Star Wars film, right? Well,
it needs that much drama...
“For years now, we’ve been obsessed with freehand
techniques, refining our skills without any foil, meche or any
adjacent materials we would traditionally use. And as much as
I’ve enjoyed switching it up with freehand fun, I’ve started to
grow an interest in different ways I can use foil. I’ve found that
I can get similar results to freehand techniques but in half the
time. As a business owner this is brilliant as I can still deliver
great service, charge for the same result, and utilise my time
way more efficiently. One of the main methods I’ve been playing
around with is direction, either physically over-directing my foil,
or painting on a result that looks over-directed. This is great
for super soft hairlines, creating that sultry halo of contoured
highlight, as well as being spot-on for a heavier result.
“For clients who want a super-fine colour or depth injected
into their blondes, I’ve been enjoying split lights. By taking the
left out section of a highlight and weaving it again, we create a
super-fine highlight that can be used to create soft additional
colour to softly break up two-dimensional blondes without
’90s stripes of clockable colour. By pushing my foiling skills,
I’ve learned how this timeless technique will never die. I don’t
want to get bored with colour, so by trialling new ways of using
classic techniques, it keeps me on my toes and keeps me
excited about my passion for all things PAINT!”
