ALL ABOUT BLONDES 

Look and learn class (ie; not hands on) going over my favourite blonde techniques.

My most taught class, where we dive into my techniques and formulas to create the perfect seamless blondes. We will talk about:

  • Balayage/Hairpainting/foilyage techniques: Getting those beautiful blended blondes, hairline detailing etc.
  • Drop root techniques: How to bring your 8 week full highlight clients down to a ‘balayage’ look, or something lower maintenance.
  • Babylights/foiling: How to avoid bleeding, getting close to the root, when to do babylights vs traditional highlights, sectioning and placement.
  • Toner formulation and application: Formulating the perfect blondes, colormelting, shadow roots.
  • Styling/finishing: How to get those beachy textured waves.
  • Social media/photography (Instagram): Tips on taking photos, posting photos and getting your presence on social media up.

“If one good thing came from a covid lockdown, it was to finally be able to take a class by Tressa! I have been a follower of her for quite a while now, and couldn’t wait for this opportunity. This Sunday afternoons class was honest, informative, realistic and fun. Tressa and her Kharma girls did a fantastic job filming, answering Questions, and educating. Cannot wait for the next class!”
