Want natural highlights like Sarah Jessica Parker, J-LO, Giselle, Jennifer Aniston and countless other A-List celebrities have? Roman Wadsworth, Baliage specialist, can make your locks shine and shimmer like these lovely ladies’ locks, with his expert colorist skills and extensive color training.
Baliage or sometimes spelled ‘Balayage’ is the French word ‘to sweep’. Makes sense, as foil highlights leave harsh regrowth where as baliage highlights are literally swept through your hair – resulting in natural-looking highlights without obvious root regrowth.
Roman Wadsworth, of B2V Salon in West Hollywood, makes sure all his Baliage clients, whether celebrity or not, are given meticulous, natural-looking hand painted highlights. With his keen eye and steady hand, the Baliage highlights are all the rage at B2V Salon.
As ‘colorist to the colorists’, Roman Wadsworth’s knowledge doesn’t stop short at only Baliage highlights.
An educator of DiFiaba of Torino, Italy, the fastest growing professional hair color line in California, Roman Wadsworth has taught over 500 coloring classes around the world.
In fact, he is like the “Dear Abby” of the colorist world.
Celebrity colorists, such as Kim Vo, keep Roman Wadsworth busy as he consults with Hollywood’s best hairstylists on what’s new or advises on complicated hair coloring or hair color repair jobs.
As a platinum blonde who has been to countless top-notch Los Angeles colorists, I knew the challenge Roman Wadsworth had before him to match my root touch-up to the rest of my hair. But three hours later at B2V Salon, he not only matched the color but also transformed my undesirable yellow-platinum to that elusive silver blonde color I had not achieved with other Los Angeles colorists previously.
Peering through his black, Woody Allen-esque frames, Roman Wadsworth says with a look of contentment, “No matter how simple or complicated the treatment is, I want to make my client to feel understood, happy and pampered. That’s my goal every time someone sits in my chair.”
Splitting his time between Seattle’s Winslow Salon and West Hollywood’s B2V Salon, Roman Wadsworth’s chair is rarely empty.
In October 2011, the Baliage expert will be at B2V Salon for two weeks at a time now instead of the former one week a month to service his Los Angeles’ clients demands for professional color treatment and to teach at the upcoming B2V Salon’s professional colorist school.
Both a trusted color specialist to his peers and clients, Roman Wadsworth also possesses a warm, approachable demeanor. Many hairstylists have the knowledge but no ‘chair-side’ manners. Roman Wadsworth has both. During our consultation, he asked lots of questions about what I wanted and made sure I was relaxed by offering a cappuccino or sparkling water.
The blond, affable Roman Wadsworth spoke about his charm, “I truly enjoy the people side of my job and feel so lucky to work in something I’m fiercely passionate about. I love to learn and am constantly researching the latest in coloring technology.”
Beyond his coloring skills, Roman Wadsworth applies the same expertise to haircuts as well. Much to my relief as I needed a reshaping haircut desperately, he affirmed, “There is no standard haircut. The cut has to be based on the individual’s face shape, hair texture AND the shape of the head and ears.”
Customized craftsmanship with a generous dollop of pampering is what you’ll get with Roman Wadsworth at B2V Salon, whether you need a simple trim, a baliage highlight or a color makeover. And Angelenos are lucky to have this king coiffeur taking appointments double time in October 2011. Call B2V Salon to experience the magic Roman Wadsworth can work on your ‘do at 310.777.0345.
