Lorri Goddard Clark at the Neil George uses a technique called balliage for highlighting. This is her specialty, in fact, she is the international expert of this technique and teaches it to other salons including the John Freida Salon in London. People fly in from all over the world to get this done by her. This is a self made video of her describing the technique while she is doing it, you really need to see it to fully appreciate the artistry required. In case the audio is poor, she is saying that she gets full control of where the color goes and that it is the haute couture of highlighting. She also can remove color at different times as they are ready, usually the ends because it is previously colored. This process is around $350 (she is actually doing my friend’s hair here and that’s what she pays) but it all depends on the individual. I know we have been waxing on about the Neil George Salon but it is really the best in LA and Neil is so so super sweet. Located at 9320 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, 310.275.2808 (call for appointments).
