Featuring Joico Celebrity Stylist, Jill Buck, of LA’s
Salon Nine Zero One

“I don’t do a full foil — or even a partial — every time my blonde clients come in,” explains Joico Celebrity Stylist, Jill Buck, of LA’s Salon Nine Zero One, who’s a big advocate of keeping hair super healthy. Here’s her perfect in-between technique – it gives clients that immediate burst of light without compromising a hair on their head.
“My blonde clients love those bright pieces around their face. But the reality is, if they want healthy hair, they can’t highlight as often as they would like to. I use this refresher technique at the salon all the time: It keeps hair feeling sunny and blonde…without damage!” – Jill Buck
Who’s the perfect candidate?
“Fine-haired clients, level 6.5 and above.”
Rotate your techniques: To keep blondes healthy, Jill switches things up between partial highlights, full highlights, and this touch-of-light technique that gets clients to the next appointment with minimal foiling.
Why crème rises to the top: “For fine-haired clients, I like to use Blonde Life Crème Lightener – it still gives me nine levels of lift but has a super creamy consistency that’s perfect for this hair type.”
Keep the sectioning simple: When she’s doing this refresher technique, Jill uses the minimum number of foils needed to deliver the POW. Here, it’s six foils on each side at the hairline in front of the ear; five foils in the nape; and only three or four foils back-to-back in the mohawk.
