A beautiful example of Ombré hair color

Flipping through fashion magazines, you can’t help but notice that Ombré is the hottest color trend in 2011.  Ombré is French, meaning to shade or graduate in tone. Hair stylists use Ombré to describe the hair that begins dark at the scalp and changes tone through the ends of the hair.

As we approach the end of the summer, Ombré can provide you with that “just from the beach” look, and since the effect is more natural it requires much less maintenance than other color techniques.  You can use the effect to be as strong or as subtle as you wish.

You have probably seen Ombré primarily on blondes, made popular by celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Cavallari and Drew Barrymore. But more than that, it can be used in a variety of colors. Just check out this beautiful Ombré featuring reds and pinks on our client, Michelle. Done by Azur Salon’s Breanne White, Michelle’s hair was a solid dark color at the start of this service.
