Balayage is a French technique for highlighting the hair in which the dye is painted to create a natural-looking effect. The goal is to create soft, subtle highlights that make your hair look like it's been kissed by the sun.
While Balayage is the technique of painting the hair, Ombre focuses on the style of the hair. It is the transition from a lighter shade to a darker shade. Typically, Ombres work best for brunettes, but the style can is suitable for blondes too. To achieve the effect of an Ombre, there must be a smooth transition between colors. While the Ombre is a beautiful look, you'll need to work with a professional to get the best results.
Luckily, we offer both Ombre and Balayage in North Charleston, SC! Short on time? Busy schedule? Only available on weekends?

South Carolina’s unemployment rate remained unchanged from June to July at 3.2%, with the state adding an estimated 16,300 nonfarm payroll jobs.
The S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce’s seasonally adjusted, monthly survey of houses estimated the number of South Carolinians working at 2,323,952, a drop of 2,293 people from the June estimate but an increase of 50,677 from July 2021. DEW’s estimate of unemployed people decreased to 75,685 in July, down 2,256 from June and 19,711 from July 2021.
The national unemployment rate dropped to 3.5% from 3.6%.
South Carolina’s estimated labor force, or people working plus those looking for work, decreased to 2,399,637, a drop of 4,549 from the June estimate and an increase of 30,966 from July 2021.
“In terms of the big picture, things are looking stable. … However, the estimated number of South Carolinians that were employed decreased by 2,293 from June,” Dan Ellzey, executive director of DEW, said in a news release. “This means that there was a 4,549-person decline in the labor force for the month of July, a first since the early days of the pandemic.
“It is likely that this stems from a one-time aberration in Current Population Survey data, which asks a little over 1,000 households a month in South Carolina about their labor force status. The disconnect in the numbers could also be due to other factors. For example, a person with multiple jobs counts once in the household survey, but twice or more in the employer survey.”
Industries reporting employment gains included education and health services, which added 4,100 jobs, and government, which added 3,600. The only industry reporting a drop was manufacturing, which lost 2,000 jobs.
From July 2021 to July 2022, South Carolina’s economy has added 79,900 nonfarm jobs, according to DEW.
Unemployment rates dropped in every S.C. county except Union, which saw an increase from 5.3% to 5.7%, and four counties where rates remained unchanged: Allendale, Dillon, Chester and Cherokee.
Richland County saw a drop to 3.3% in July from 3.5% in June, while unemployment dropped in Lexington County to 2.6% from 2.8%.
The Columbia metropolitan statistical area added 1,500 jobs from June to July and has added 6,900 from July 2021 to July 2022. Charleston/North Charleston added 3,800 month-to-month and 18,400 year-to-year. Greenville/Anderson/Mauldin added 3,400 month-to-month and 12,300 year-to-year, while Spartanburg added 700 and 4,800, respectively.

Lodi Coffee owners Jennifer and Johnny Grosso pride themselves on customer service. The couple, who opened the North Charleston shop in 2020, strives to provide the perfect experience every single time.
According to Yelp, they’re doing a pretty good job.
The crowd-sourcing website with reviews about businesses and restaurants on Sept. 2 released its Top 100 Coffee Shops in the U.S. and Canada. Ranked “using a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews,” Lodi landed at No. 20.
“It seems odd in a drive-thru but we have major regulars,” Jennifer Grosso said. “You can make that connection even if it’s just a few minutes of your day.”
The Yelp list says Lodi is known for “wild and wacky flavors, made fresh in-house.” That only scratches the surface.
Every drink that ends up on the expansive Lodi menu goes through rigorous rounds of tasting before it’s served to customers. Many flavors are based on nostalgia, like the Apple Jacks matcha, a spin on Grosso’s favorite sugary cereal as a kid. Others come from the customers themselves.
“We get a huge amount of inspiration from customers asking for things,” Grosso said. “We’ll pretty much consider any request as long as it’s within reason.”
Located in a converted bank at 2210 Ashley Phosphate Road, Lodi’s menu of fixtures and rotating specials features upwards of 100 drinks. Lodi’s latte list includes vanilla mint, honey lavender and peanut butter mocha, while matcha is mixed with anything from lemon shortbread to peanut butter and jelly.
And those who think it’s never too early for pumpkin spice season can currently find their favorites at Lodi. The drive-thru is serving more than a dozen new fall-flavored drinks, such as a caramel apple cream cold brew, pumpkin pie frappuccino and of course, the pumpkin spice latte.
The drinks are not as sweet as they seem because of the quality coffee and all-natural ingredients used to make them. Pumpkin drinks are made using real pumpkin, cinnamon sticks and spices like ginger, while the matcha is ceremonial grade.
The key to making the matcha blend with lavender, vanilla and other syrups that are made in-house is timing, Grosso said.
“We do everything by hand so we’re spinning it in real time,” she said. “Timing is kind of everything because we’re obviously going for speed here too.”
As the couple finds success in North Charleston, they are starting to expand. Construction has begun at locations in Mount Pleasant and Summerville, and a Lodi Coffee is still in the works at the corner of King and Huger streets.
The downtown shop will be located in a repurposed building that has housed a gas station, cab depot and most recently a small office building.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Of the recent high-level departures from the Charleston County School District, none leave with as much experience in the organization as Jennifer Coker.
Her tenure with the district spanned 21 years and saw her in a number of leadership positions climbing the ladder until she rose to become the executive director of the Department of Alternative Programs and Services.
Coker announced her retirement last Thursday and is expected to officially leave her position at the end of the month.
The position came with the challenge of overseeing some of the most difficult students and tasked her with not only educating them but setting them up for success after high school. The most notable schools under her care have notoriously been Liberty Hill Academy and Daniel Jenkins Academy which have seen a bevy of violent incidents towards staff at the hands of students.
To Coker’s credit, the challenges at Daniel Jenkins are nothing she would not put herself through. Coker says she spent five years as the principal of the school, restoring more than100 students back to their home school. While there, she says they completed a “meaningful instructional program for students in the Juvenile Detention Center”.
Before that, she served as the principal of West Ashley Middle School.
“The school’s report card rating went from ‘At Risk’ in 2006 to ‘Average’ in 2009, an improvement of two levels under that system,” Coker said.
As the head of the district’s alternative programs, Coker had her hand in almost all of the programs aimed at helping students and addressing behavior. Coker says some her achievements include implementing a restorative practices framework that is now being implemented in 35 schools and initiating several task forces aimed at addressing issues like bullying.
Most recently and, perhaps most successfully, Coker found herself championing the district’s effort to address the mental health of students. She established a partnership with the Department of Mental Health to increase mental health services by 300% in six years and led the effort to supply calming kits and calming rooms to any school that wants them. She also launched the district’s art therapy program and took on the effort to develop and lead the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund III effort centered on wrap-around services.
Coker also lists securing a Project Prevent Grant among her top achievements. The grant provides $5 million to support seven North Charleston Schools.
“Throughout my tenure, no matter the role, developing leaders and encouraging people to see beyond their current position has been an honor,” Coker said. “Again, there are too many individuals to mention, but I hope they know impacted me far more than I could ever impact them.”
With her retirement, the Department of Alternative Programs and Services is expected to be reorganized. The details on what that means are still being finalized.

The national tour of the beloved Broadway musical ANNIE will come to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center October 28 - 30, 2022. Tickets will go on sale Monday, September 12 at 10AM online at Ticketmaster.com and at the North Charleston Coliseum Advance Ticket Office. Ticket prices start at just $45 (plus applicable fees). For groups of 10 or more, email Groups@NorthCharlestonColiseumPAC.com.
The show is part of the 2022-2023 Best of Broadway series at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.
This new tour of the iconic Tony Award-winning production is directed by Jenn Thompson, who at the age of 10 stepped into the role of "Pepper" in the Original Broadway production. Scenic designs for the touring production are by Wilson Chin, whose work was most recently featured on Broadway in the critically acclaimed production of Pass Over.
"This show, with its iconic title character, continues to delight generations of theatre-lovers old and new by joyfully singing directly into the face of great adversity with perseverance, guts and guile," said director Jenn Thompson. "For decades, ANNIE has continued to shine brightly, not only as an appeal to our better angels, but also as an example of the thrill of hope, hard-won: promising a better 'Tomorrow' not only for Annie herself, but for all who need her message now more than ever."
Troika Entertainment's COO and Executive Producer, Kori Prior adds, "We are thrilled and excited to have Jenn Thompson helm this new tour of ANNIE. She brings such admiration and connection to the material that we know this production will be fresh, new and full of the heart that makes ANNIE the show we all love."
A multi-week city tour schedule beginning in the fall of 2022, as well as the full design team, will be announced later this spring. For more information, visit AnnieTour.com. For tour booking inquiries, please contact booking@bondtheatrical.com.
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in this new production - just as you remember it and just when we need it most. This celebration of family, optimism and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as, "one of the best family musicals ever penned!", ANNIE features the book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. All three authors received 1977 Tony Awards for their work.
By permission of Tribune Content Agency, LLC, ANNIE is based on Harold Gray's popular comic strip "Little Orphan Annie" which premiered in the 1920s in the New York Daily News and became one of the most widely read strips in the 30s and 40s. Lyricist-director Martin Charnin bought a coffee table book called "The Life and Hard Times of Little Orphan Annie" as a Christmas gift for a friend in 1970. The clerk at the bookstore was too busy to wrap the book, so Charnin took the book home to wrap it. Instead, he read it and fell in love with the strip and set out to secure the rights. The friend never got the book.
The original production of ANNIE had its world premiere on Aug 10, 1976 at the Goodspeed Opera House (Michael J. Price, Executive Director) and opened on Broadway on April 21, 1977 at the Alvin Theatre (Neil Simon theatre). It went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album and seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin). It closed on Broadway after playing 2,377 performances. ANNIE was revived on Broadway in 1997 and again in 2014. It has been made into a film three times (1982, 1999, 2014) and was most recently featured as a live television production on NBC. The show remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever; it has been performed in 28 languages and has been running somewhere around the world for 37 years.
The beloved score for ANNIE includes "Maybe," "It's the Hard Knock Life," "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," "Easy Street," "I Don't Need Anything But You" and the eternal anthem of optimism, "Tomorrow."
