NEXT CLASS: SUNDAY, MARCH 17. 2024

This Balayage workshop is an education experience like no other! Spend the day at Kara’s salon in the quaint beach town of Summerland. This workshop is totally creative and Kara’s focus is perfecting your brush stroke, connecting with your own Artistic Intuition, and understand the laws of truly natural, sunkissed hair. The first part of the day Kara will demo her signature Santa Barbara Balayage technique on a live model. After the demo we will enjoy the sweeping ocean views and a delicious lunch catered by one of our local restaurants. The second half of the day is where we work our magic with the hands-on portion. All classes are kept at 5 people so you have plenty of one-on-one time with Kara. She will share her favorite color line and lightener, tips and tricks to painting the most seamless looks, and how to take the best pictures to reflect your work! Our day ends with a toast with a mimosa or cocktail! This day is meant for you to learn, but also a little getaway for you to enjoy!
