Chez Vous

I've been a regular at Chez Vous for a while now. Their recommendations have always resonated with me and the condition of my hair has improved visibly under their care.

On this occasion, my highlights needed refreshing as dark roots were showing through. I usually lean towards a warmer honey blonde, thinking it's more youthful and that a cooler ashy tone may not suit my skin tone. Over time, though, these warmer pigments can skew a bit coppery. As blondes, we always walk a fine line between too warm and too cool. The trick is finding the middle ground that's just right!

The colourist recommended I try a slightly cooler shade as it would give me an instant brightening boost. I was happy to let her do her magic, convinced that I was in the best hands.

A pre-treatment was applied to the hair in sections to make sure that it was protected from the chemicals of the dye. Khim must be one of the fastest colourists in town when it comes to weaving fine highlights. Her technique is remarkable. I have plenty of hair and she managed to place a full head of foils in no time. The colour treatment was followed by express lamination, a protective remedy for coarse and colour-treated hair to improve the texture and help retain the shine.

I was absolutely delighted with the result. The fine highlights look subtle and soft, the cooler tone is flattering and has revived my overall colour beautifully. Changing up my shade a bit turned out to be a really good idea and it works much better with my skin tone than I had anticipated. Importantly, my hair feels healthy and looks well hydrated and shiny after the lamination treatment.
