After looking for a salon in phoenix that does balayage, for over a year, I finally found Rolf's.. I was directed to Jeanine, a balayage specialist (balayage is were the paint the highlights in, instead of using foils). We had a 15 min consult to discus what I was looking for and I made an apt for the next day.
Jeanine, started on 'painting' my hair right away and things where going great, while painting the color in she asked how I wanted my hair cut. I said just a trim, with little to no layers. After washing my hair out a quick cut and style, she offered to freshen up my makeup. Bonus points!...or so I thought. What I failed to notice was the quick cut she cave me, was really 'the Rachael', with lots of layers. not what I asked for at all. Bummer.
Over all the color is great, exactly what I asked for, but since the cut is not at all what I asked for, I'll be wearing a pony tail the rest of the year while the layers grow out. And if's my hair is in a pony tail, who cares how great the color is.
I may go back for another color job, because it really is great...but I'll never let Jeanine cut my hair again.
