Balayage Hair Makeover

Dress: Nordstrom | Boots: Michael Kors | Hair: Population Salon in San Francisco

I did it! And I love it!

I woke up early this past Saturday morning with butterflies in my stomach because I knew that in the afternoon, I was going to be staring at a slightly different person in the mirror. You could say that my hair has been my security blanket over the years – always dark brown, long, and “safe.” But I have to say that as soon as I stepped into Population, I felt at ease and even more so when I met my stylist and salon owner, Brian. The salon was busy, but organized and I felt welcomed by all those who worked there. Brian proceeded to dry cut my hair (faster, yet more precise than I’ve ever seen someone cut it, by the way) and took his time carefully executing his balayage technique. Four hours later, I was transformed and smiling from ear to ear.

Ladies (and those men who may be reading this), if you’re searching for a new salon, don’t hesitate to call Population. Bonus: They’re opening up their second salon in the Mission in a few weeks!
