Rose gold balayage is a trendy hair color featuring a pinkish-red tint accented with golden undertones. It’s incredibly stylish, alluring, and distinctly modern.
I had the opportunity to chat about this hair shade with senior stylist Shane Markham from San Francisco, CA. He shared some of his best advice for achieving the look, so you’re fortunate if you’re considering giving it a try.
