Even during shutdown we’re still thinking about beautiful hair! Here’s an oldie but goody from almost 3 years ago, using the weave & tease technique learned from @balayagebootcamp with @lisalovesbalayage at her class in San Francisco. This look took almost 7 hours due to the sheer thickness of her extremely long & dark hair. Though her hair history for the last 3 years was virgin, anything past 18 in length was not - hence the bit of warmth at the ends. This is why... we ask if anything was done in the last 4 years, so we know what we’re dealing with (in this case it was black hair dye.) Here’s the price breakdown: Balayage $189 Haircut $65 Extra bowls of lightener $80 Root melt & toner $95 Extra tubes of toner $40 Total: $549 *Prices vary based on thickness, length, history & time required to achieve a desired look. Sometimes more than one visit is required to achieve a desired outcome at additional cost.* See more

Thank you to our clients for your patience as we tried to fit you in before mandated shutdown. If we didn’t get a chance to see you, we’re hoping to see you in the new year! Have a safe & happy holidays. #thankyou #albertasalon #beaccentric #accentricsagehill

Blonde level up! She’s been working towards brighter blonde since her first visit with us in the summer, after a botched blonding service at another salon. Now that her hair has been corrected, all she needs is upkeep 3 a year with at home maintenance. At @accentricsagehill we work as a team, keeping service records so that any one of our talented stylists can take of you. You’re in good hands with us.

Brightened up and refreshed bronde on one of my favourite clients. Love when clients ask for something done on my feed because I know what technique was used. Almost a full head of babylights, followed by root tap for grey blending and blonde melt were done to achieve this popular look. Pricing as follows:... Full head highlights $149 Root melt + toner $99 Haircut $56 4 hours total service time. *Pricing is based on medium length & thickness, and will vary on longer, thicker hair with any previous artificial colour.* See more

Glossy warm balayage for fall. Brought up the lightness using back-comb balayage. Toned with Schwarzkopf Vibrance 7-0/0-99/0-00 & 13Vol lotion developer to slightly break the base. Been a little obsessed with a bit of base-breaking lately to soften the demarcation line. Everything old-school is new-school. #accentricsagehill #beaccentric #yycsalon #balayage #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist #backcombbalayage #schwarzkopfprofessional #morevibrance

No bleach highlights & back-comb balayage combo, with a new lob for this busy mama. accentricsagehill #beaccentric #yycsalon #balayage #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist #longbob #nobleachbalayage #nobleachhighlights #bobhaircut

No bleach balayage on the most gorgeous canvas ever! Just check out that natural shine. Started off with 6 cut off with longer layers to really make that chocolate pop. Two custom formulas were used based on the section of hair. These custom [no bleach] formulas only work on hair completely void of ANY artificial colours within the last 4 years. Why 4 years? Because the average head of hair grows about per month, and 4 years equates to about 24 of hair from root to tip. #nobleachbalayage #balayage #chocolatebalayage #caramelbalayage #accentricsagehill #beaccentric #yycsalon #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist #calgarybalayage

No bleach caramel balayage goodness. . Bending the rules using one of my favourite go-to formulas to skip the necessity of bleach. Only possible on 100% virgin hair and those who don’t mind warmth. Customized the formula using a cool additive & breaking the rules using lower volume developer. Results may vary. . #nobleachbalayage #accentricsagehill #beaccentric #yycsalon #balayage #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calga...ry #calgaryhairstylist #calgarybalayage #yycsalon #balayage #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist #bluntbob #bobhaircut See more

Subtle contrast vivid. . The contrast starts subtle & eventually becomes more obvious with each wash. Lifted hidden panels to a level 9; toned with Pravana Vivids Everlasting permanent 30g Voilet Reign + 10g Pastel Potion for a longer lasting vivid. Darker vivids are recommended for better pigment retention as opposed to lighter. Each wash will reveal a brighter tone that lasts about 4-8 weeks depending on hair health, porosity, shampoo frequency & temperature. Have fun with what each wash reveals! . #accentricsagehill #yycsalon #pravana #pravanavivids #pravanachromasilk #balayage #purplehair #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist

Oops, I completely forgot the before! But here is the during and after. . She came in with a faded brassy demi-permanent done elsewhere in December. Her goal was her natural ashy level 7 blonde. . Lifted zones 2-3 to a level 8/9 to tone down to a 7. Finished off with a bob haircut.... .

Chocolate ombré balayage using @3dbalayage tool designed by @emmanuellstyles. . In February 2018 I flew to SFO to take @balayagebootcamp & the most intriguing technique I learned was #3dbalayage. Next to weave & tease, it was my most used technique but getting the ratios just right was difficult. This comb does it all with the perfect 50/50 ratio for each section, saving application time! Yay Emmanuel for inventing such an amazing and simple tool for us fellow hair artists! . #3dbalayagecomb #3dbalayagetechnique #accentricsagehill #beaccentric #yycsalon #balayage #mushroombrown #calgaryhair #beautifulhairyyc #beautifulhair #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #calgary #calgaryhairstylist #calgarybalayage @ Accentric Salon & Spa - Sage Hill

Mushroom blonde hair vibes. . Lifting 7+ levels from a natural level 2 sometimes isn’t ideal - hair integrity can be compromised, several visits are sometimes needed to get there at a full double process service cost, and the contrast from a level 2 to 9 can look unnatural. . The new platinum is mushroom blonde! Grow out is low maintenance, upkeep is minimal with just toning overlay appointments about every 6 weeks, and a whole double process refresher can be done twice a y...ear! . #mushroomblonde #mushroomblondehair #mushroomblondebalayage #accentricsagehill #beaccentric #calgarybalayage #balayage #foilayage #thickhairdontcare #calgarysalon #calgaryhair #salonlife #kerastase #lorealpro #lorealprofessionnel See more

Foilayage and tone on one of my day 1 clients. . Price breakdown: Foilayage/highlights $129 Full toner $79... Haircut $56 Total: $256 @ 4 hours . I often get price requests for jobs that are much bigger and people are surprised that something that seems so subtle can cost so much. . Here are the factors that affect how much you’re quoted: - Virgin or previously coloured hair - Starting level of natural hair - Hair length - Hair density - Hair texture - Hair health - End goal . All these factors determine how much time and product is needed to get the job done. Product isn’t cheap and even this look was at a cost of $40 to achieve due to her hair density. . #hairbylien #kerastase #lorealprofessionnel #lorealpro #accentricsagehill #balayage #redhairdontcare #redhair #brunette #sagehill #yycnow #bobhaircut #beaccentric #itsnotawig

Dark blonde foilayage, root melt and tone on 7 month grow out. Big hair chop for extra volume and fullness in the ends. Extra brightness gives the illusion of length, so don’t be afraid to cut off a lot for healthy hair! . By the time we’re done many of our clients after 4:00pm we have zero natural light to work with. Found this one area with multiple light sources from all angles and that’s the best we can do. ... #hairbylien #accentricsagehill #balayage #calgarybalayage #yychair #yychairsalon #yycsalon #calgarysalon #sagehillsalon #sagehill #sagehillcalgary #nolanhill #nolanhillyyc #yycnow #yyc #blondehairyyc #blondehairdontcare #curls #calgaryfoilyage #calgaryfoilayage #foilhighlights See more

Have you ever considered an undercut? It can save you in daily styling time, but it’s definitely dependent on your style. (Also a trim is recommended every 3-4 weeks for upkeep, booked in as a head shave. A full cut recommended about every 2 months.) . #undercut #blondebob #accentricsagehill #accentricsalonsagehill #beautifulhairyyc #shorthair #rootmelt #tattooedgirls #girlswithtattoos #inkfiendart #kerastase #kerastasecanada

All that gloss after 5 inches off for this super busy mama! . We did a lob so she could have the option of pulling her hair back at the gym! We took a little time for some hair styling 101 with a flat iron (though I’m personally more comfortable using a 1 barrel for this look.) . I really wish I had taken a before shot! She has the most amazing natural curls and when they were wet and combed out they reached the middle of her back!... . #beautifulhairyyc #longbob #accentricsagehill #accentricsalonsagehill #beaccentric #yychairstylist #yycsalon #kerastasewall #kerastase #womenwholift #wbffcalgary #shorthair #mediumhair #bestclientsever #supportlocalyyc See more

My very talented colleague decided on an undercut - so that’s what we did! . Shampooed with the new @kerastase_official Bain Lumière from the Blond Absolu line to bring out that extra brightness from our recent bleach and tone a few weeks ago. . You guys!!! Bain Lumière doesn’t even contain any purple pigments to tone the hair with! It literally illuminates the hair with a clear formula by eliminating minerals and deposits that cause brassiness!... . #kerastase #kerastasesalon #beautifulhairyyc #shorthair #accentricsagehill #accentricsalonsagehill See more
