Tonage - a totally new way to color!

So, a few years back I was reading a People Style Watch and they said that Gisele has her hair colored with a technique called Balliage. I'll say straight away that I'm not a  hair stylist, so technically speaking, I don't really know what work goes into coloring with Balliage. What I do know is that I loved the idea of not having to start my "color enhancement" right a the roots. My amazing stylist, Con Sing, happily created my color with a Balliage technique that had the whole salon talking. I LOVED it, until I came to grips with the fact that my skin is just not suited for blonde hair because I go brassy ASAP. 

Regardless, I asked every time if we could do Balliage, for the root effect, not the technique. And every time Con Sing would say, "No, that just doesn't really work on you." If we were in the south this totally would been classified as one of those, "Bless her heart" conversations. You know, "Bless her heart, she keeps asking for Balliage (but has absolutely no clue what she's talking about)." That last bit would have been left off of course. Honestly, I'm sure I'm a lunatic client, the "Balliage Girl".

Well, Balliage no more!!! And might I add that persistence pays off in this story ... I did ask again with the same response. And when I explained that I just didn't want the color starting at my root, Con Sing worked her magic. Yep, a totally new coloring technique that used foils to create a similar effect to Balliage - Tonage! The great thing per Con Sing, is that you can use more than one color. I've asked her to write in about the technical aspect of this technique since all I really know is that the color looks sizzling hot! So, fall is just around the corner, and I recommend giving those roots a bit of rest for the season. Ask your stylist for Tonage the next time you're in the salon. And if they have no idea what you're talking about, send them to beauty tipsy for instructions from a professional hair hottie - Con Sing.

Muah!
