Balayage at Mizu
Posted by Carolyn on July 23, 2009 Who: Miguel Angarita
What: Balayage style highlighting
Where: Mizu Salon, New York 505 Park Ave.
When: M: 10-7, T-Fri 9-8, Sat: 9-7
Why: Because highlights should look so natural that no one
asks if you’ve gotten them. They should look like this, not this.
Before heading out to the Hamptons last Saturday, I first paid a
visit to my new favorite Park Ave Salon: Mizu. I had heard of
the Boston salon from Sara, who had named it one the
swankiest in her city, so when I needed a little emergency hair
color, I immediately thought to call up the newly opened
Manhattan location. I had gone months without a color touch up
and gotten to the point where I was tempted to Photoshop my
hair before posting pictures. As I was hoping to impress the
polo players, I realized that two inch roots was not a good look.
The salons, opened by Elan Sassoon (as in Vidal’s son), boasts a
sleek, modern all white interior and brings New York’s
downtown design to a discerning uptown clientele. Even on a Saturday morning in the summer,
the space was bustling with activity- yet as expected, service was quick, friendly, and attentive.
I was lucky to have been taken care of by Miguel Angarita, a friendly, non pretentious and
incredibly talented colorist. I gave him the ultimate task- the same one that I ask of every
colorist- to remove all the red pigment from my naturally dark black hair, work over 3 years of
nonstop color (including impulsive box coloring in my bathroom), and deliver a Milla Jovovichesque light ashy brown with golden highlights. Check out the before and after below!
So how did Miguel do it? Well first, he pointed out that the last gal who did my hair went crazy
with the foils- which is totally true. As the purpose of highlights is to accentuate the texture and
movement of hair, a full head of foils defeats the purpose as it flattens out the contrast between
the highlights and the hair’s naturally darker shade. Second, he pointed out that Milla’s hair is
strategically lightened around the face and along the ends to recreate the natural look of sun
hitting her hair. Lastly, he said my color had faded into orange- which was mostly my fault, but
also partly because the last colorist didn’t remove enough of the red out of my hair.
Instead of using foils, Miguel used a technique called balayage, a coloring method where the
highlights are swept onto the hair. If you thought that highlights result in unnaturally looking
streaks (like this, from an old dye job)- think again! First the hair is teased and backcombed, then
the color is painted on in sections. Unlike traditional foil highlights which is very scientific and
accurate, the balayage method is more like the artist freely painting on canvas. In the hands of a
skilled artist, balayage highlights deliver the most natural looking results. Within each section
of hair, part of it is teased back and only the section below is highlighted. Therefore, when the
uncolored hair rests over over the treated hair, the contrast in color creates depth and
movement. Balayage is also not as damaging to the hair as traditional highlights since the paint
stays on the hair for a shorter amount of time (about 10 minutes) and the hair cuticle is not forced
open with heat.
While I was getting my head painted, Miguel shared some valuable tips for color.
- Bring in a picture to the salon of what color you want you hair to be. While many salons, Mizu
included, offers swatches, it is impossible to determine from a 1in by 1in piece of synthetic fiber
how that color would look transcribed to a full head of hair.
- Ask for highlights towards the middle to ends of your hair instead of at the roots. As a serious
colorist, Miguel DVRs every single fashion show and he claimed that not one model had
highlights around the roots. Not to mention, avoiding highlights around the roots can extend
your in-between salon visits by up to another 4 weeks!
- In order to avoid over processing your hair, make sure your colorist can work with your
existing hair color. As it turns out, Miguel only colored about 50% of my brassy hair but he
strategically placed lowlights in certain areas to create the illusion of lightness next to the
darkened hair. Then he took a blue toner to remove the remaining orange out of my color.
- Have your colorist go lighter around your hairline and around your face in order to illuminate
your skin.
Here’s another shot of my “after hair” in artificial lighting- where you can see still see the
contrast between the light and the dark and how natural it looks. Now when I look back at
pictures of highlights I’ve gotten before, I’ve realized that the point is to fake people out into
thinking you have naturally gorgeous hair that just happens to be 100 shades of brown (or blonde
or red) instead of having someone call you out and ask “did you get highlights?”
Miguel only works in the New York Mizu location, but he has offered three lucky TDO readers a
$50 off gift card to see him at Mizu! Simply leave a comment if you’re in the market for a new
color, and we’ll draw three winners next week!
Mizu New York is located at 505 Park Ave on 59th St.
