Balayage: The Best Highlights for Spring

Posted March 7, 2019 by Amaci Salon Team

Are you looking for a hairstyle that is on-trend, easy to maintain, and can give you a fresh new look for the new season? Balayage style highlights may be a great choice for you. Bring your hair back to life as the snow melts, temperature rises, and flowers begin to bloom!

Balayage highlights can give you a soft, natural, sun-kissed look, with a darker root that gradually gets lighter towards the ends. It can be done in many ways, from a natural caramel color that can look very soft, or you can go very light on your ends, with a tone that will compliment your skin and eye color, whether you like ashier tones or warmer tones.

Balayage highlights are easy to maintain. They grow out more naturally than traditional highlights. That mean longer between visits, which will save you time and money. You and your stylist will have a plan to maintain your hair between visits, and they will prescribe the proper routine and products that will keep your hair looking better, longer. Products such as anti-brass shampoo and deep conditioners that will help to maintain your color and hair’s integrity between salon visits!

Curious if balayage may be your next color service? Stop by Amaci Salon. It is conveniently located walking distance from Back Bay, the South End, Downtown, Copley Square, and the Theatre District. You can get a complimentary consultation with a stylist who can answer your questions and give you ideas for what would be the best color choices for your hair, complexion, and lifestyle.

Go Lighter for Summer Without Fear with Olaplex!

Posted July 4, 2018 by Amaci Salon Team

Summer is here, and what better time to go lighter and blonder with your hair? Whether you want to brighten up with a balayage or a foil highlight or want to be blonde all over with a double-process. You can do so without fear of breakage or harsh damage by using an Olaplex hair color salon for your service.

Olaplex Step #1, which can be used either mixed with the lightener used for your service or done alone as a treatment. It is what is known as a “bond multiplier”. When you color hair, the bonds that hold your hair together get broken. This can lead to damaged or broken hair. With Olaplex, the bonds are maintained and repaired during coloring, which means hair can be processed longer to go lighter, without fear of damage or breaking!

After shampooing, your stylist will then coat your hair with Olaplex
Step #2, the “bond perfecter”, which helps continue to repair bonds that have been damaged by the lightening process.

To get the best results possible, you should take home Olaplex Step #3, (available at Amaci Salon). It is used weekly (or more!) to continue to care for your hair. It repairs bonds that have been damaged by coloring, heat styling, or more. Apply to clean, damp hair, and leave for at least 10 minutes, then rinse and style as usual.

Using the 3 Steps of Olaplex can help you to maintain the strength and integrity of your hair. This while giving you the freedom to experiment with color, balayage, highlights, or anything in between! Olaplex can be added on to any color service, or done as a treatment on its own.
