Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit a brand new salon in Maple Grove, MN, Camille Albane Paris. I was pretty tired from a night + day at the fair, so I grabbed my favorite “pj pants” for the appointment. I was scheduled for a balayage and a pedicure.
I have heard of balayage before but never considered asking for or getting this type of color in my hair. According to Vogue, balayage is defined as “a French coloring technique that was developed in the 1970s. It’s a freehand technique where the color is applied by hand rather than using the traditional foiling or cap highlighting techniques.”
Since this is a French salon in the US, I decided I absolutely had to give this French coloring technique a try! When I arrived, I was kindly welcomed by three employees and immediately offered something to drink…. water, coffee, etc. Since it was the morning, I asked for coffee and headed to sit down with my styist, Edie. She did such a wonderful job, I’m just so happy my hair is bright and blonde and it is all thanks to Edie!
The salon has modern look and feel, with all-white walls and stations, and relaxing music in the background. I was very impressed with the look, feel, relaxation and expertise at the salon. I have been going to the same salon since I moved up here, but I had such a great experience at Camille Albane Paris, I am definitely going to go back. The great thing about balayage is that the technique allows for less frequent visits to the salon, as the highlights look more natural, vs. giving a streaky look that can sometimes happen with foils.
One of the best part about their services is that at the end, they touch up your makeup! In case any water got on you and smeared your makeup, a little bit of powder, blush, mascara and lipgloss really helped touch up anything that got a little out of place during the appointment. Amazing, right?! That meant an immediate date when I got home because I was ready for some food and fun with my boyfriend! I of course had to take a selfie to document the new color and amazing curls Edie gave me:
If you are a local Minnesotan and interested in the services, make sure to check out the grand opening this Wednesday! {located by Five Guys off Main Street, Arbor Lakes}

![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.

Love you as a blonde–so fresh and pretty!
1) Coral is a fabulous color on you! 2) The haircolor and makeup turned out great. That really is a great idea to touch up your makeup! Mine always gets messed up from the water dripping down my face and stuff.
