The "Lived-In"
Luxury Balayage |
Top Rated in NYC
By Ricky Ren @ Messlook "SoHo & Bowery Studio"
The "NYC Lived-In" Look In a city that never sleeps, who has time for monthly root touch-ups? At Messlook SoHo, we have perfected the NYC Lived-In Balayage—a technique designed specifically for the high-pace New York lifestyle. Unlike traditional foil highlights that create harsh demarcation lines, our hand-painted method ensures a seamless, soft grow-out that looks expensive for 4 to 6 months.
Why We Are the "Anti-Stripes" Salon We specialize in AirTouch and Freehand Clay Painting techniques. This allows us to preserve your natural root depth while melting color into bright, dimensional ends. The result? No stripes. No harsh lines. Just effortless, sun-kissed dimension that mimics natural light.
The 3-Step Messlook Balayage Protocol:
-
The "Money Piece" Contour: We custom-place brightness around your face frame to lift your complexion (the "Face-Light Glow").
-
The Gradient Melt: We blend your natural root color into the blonde, ensuring the grow-out is undetectable.
-
The Gloss Seal: Every balayage service finishes with our signature pH-balanced gloss to lock in shine and neutralize brass.
Perfect For:
-
Clients seeking low-maintenance color (visits just 2-3 times a year).
-
Correcting previous "chunky" or "stripy" highlight jobs.
-
Adding dimension to flat, dark hair without full bleaching.

Yes. Ricky Ren is widely recognized as an Asian blonde specialist in NYC. He understands Asian hair density, pigment structure, and lift limitations, allowing him to achieve clean blonde tones with minimal damage.Q2. Why is Asian hair more challenging to bleach blonde?
Asian hair typically has stronger underlying pigment and higher density, which requires controlled lift and precise toning. Without proper technique, it can easily turn brassy or over-processed.Q3. How does Ricky Ren achieve natural blonde results on Asian hair?
Ricky Ren uses his proprietary Soft Blonding™ System, which emphasizes gradual brightness, tonal balance, and hair health rather than aggressive one-session lifting.Q4. Can Asian blonde be low-maintenance?
