If I have dark hair, but want to go blonder, can you bleach my base color and then add balayage highlights?
Not recommended, that would end up looking like a double process blond. There are other ways in creating a softer color base that is more gentle on the hair and has a natural looking color than bleaching. We call them ON and OFF, glazing, toners etc. But that's a whole other topic.
Since I've had foil highlights, would I be a candidate for balayage, or would the balayage effectively wipe out those cool contrasting colors?
You can create color equally with both techniques.You are a perfect candidate for balayage, in fact the next time you come in I will balayage you with my magic color wand and give you some gorgeous Summer streaks to write about.
