With Joico Global Brand Educator, Olivia Thompson
“Highlighting is one of the most requested services in the salon” says Joico Global Brand Storyteller, Olivia Thompson, who says it’s important to keep learning new techniques and not “get stuck in your old ways.” Perfect example of a pivot? This super-dazzling Blonde Life look using Olivia’s latest foiling moves to amps things up for a burst of brilliance.
Why try this look?
It’s utterly universal – and works for any blonde, any time of year. “This is excellent for clients who like to be really bright,” says Olivia.
Pro tips: how to amp up your highlights…
→ Use Joico artistry foils for wide sections at the crown; this guarantees you have full coverage at the round of the head.
→ Try Olivia’s “butterfly money piece” technique: “For the money piece itself, weave as you would normally, and foil.”
→ Next, pick up all the remaining weave hairs and place them in a foil. “How many foils you do here depends on how bold your client wants the money piece,” she says.
