Balayage with Nicky Lazou..

Hey guys! I know it's been such a long time since my last post. I can't do anything more than apologise for my lack of consistency on here but I've made a promise to myself that I'll be more regular on here this year so watch this space!
So I wanted to start the new year with a change, I've always been attracted to multi tonal hair and stumbled across Nicky Lazou's instagram page a while ago. I was truly impressed by how every single client picture she put up had literally the most amazing looking hair and the before and after shots left me in awe! I knew if I was ever going to get my hair done it had to be with someone that I knew would be able to do it properly. I've had experiences in the past at salons that have left me with brassy hair which is definitely not a desirable look. After plucking up enough courage I got myself booked in for the 6th of January.
Nicky Lazou is a home based experience, which I prefer. I always find in salons you tend to feel like you're rushed for time or you don't have the stylist's full attention. So at the start of the appointment Nicky went through what she wanted to do with my hair. After seeing all her work it seemed pretty easy to trust her judgment. There was only myself and another client in the room which meant Nicky was able to concentrate on my hair without any distractions. Nicky was such a lovely person from the start I felt so welcome in her home it was really such a laugh.
Nicky is famous for her balayage technique, she understood that my hair being naturally very dark needed a lot of work to be brightened and took the care and time to create the results I was looking for. I was actually there for almost 4 hours but it didn't feel like it all and Nicky was happy to wait until my hair was ready. 
Not only did she colour my hair but she also gave me lots of advice on how to care for it as well as styling techniques. I didn't feel like she was pushing her products on me which is another thing I despise at hair salons. She was also kind enough to clip my hair up for me to make sure it looked nice when I went out that evening.

Here are a few pictures of my hair before:

All in all I had such a fun experience going to Nicky. She has excellent knowledge in colouring hair and didn't make me feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied at any stage of the hair appointment. Since getting my hair done I have received so many compliments from friends and family and I can't be more pleased. I will definitely be going back to her again.
If you would like to get your hair done by Nicky then you can email her at info@nickylazou.com and don't forget to visit her Instagram page: @nickylazou
