Hairvoyance: Balayage and Ombré demystified

A remedy for the noisy beauty expectations of the digital age

Edited Instagram photos have created a disconnect between colourists and clients when discussing balayage, ombré, and other such vague terms that are often misused across social media.

We created ‘HAIRVOYANCE’, a series of four distinct looks portrayed through a set of stunning Tarot illustrations, to give you a clearer vision of the style you desire. Each card also details recommended upkeep for maintaining your look.
