Jean-Charles Duchene's Blog

Jean Charles (JC) Duchene has been an expert hair stylist for many years. JC, as he is fondly called, is located in Boulder, Colorado, where he has been styling since 2004. JC is famous for working at 1313 Salon in Boulder and for his use of the “balayage” technique to highlight hair.

JC was born in the town of Reims, France, an area well-known for its champagne. He studied at a local hairstyling school receiving seven diplomas, giving him the license to teach and practice his trade; he also worked for a time as an apprentice at his family’s salon.

Jean Charles went to New York in the 1980s to work for Jean Louis David, the owner of International Salon at Henry Beudels. Several years later, JC opened his own salon on 57th Street and later on worked for Jacques Dessange. It was while working in Dessange’s salonon Park Avenue, that JC gained acclaim and recognition as one of New York’s top hairstylists.

JC’s clients included celebrities such as Raquel Welsh and Bianca Jagger. His work has been featured both in magazines and on television. But you don’t have to be a celebrity to visit JC.  Even stay at home dads come in to have their hair cut.

JC’s balayage technique is a French hair coloring procedure that uses a special lightening
powder and results in natural shades. He is also an expert in various hair coloring and cutting methods from France. He uses three different haircutting tools; straight scissors, texturizing scissors, and a razor.

An avid athlete who once participated in the Ironman triathlon, Jean Charles counts painting and writing music amongst his passions - aside from styling hair.

The first characteristic you notice about someone’s hair is usually the color. Some people do not like their natural hair color and may want to change or enhance it.  Hair coloring done by a professional hairstylist can give your hair a new look and feel while keeping it looking natural.

1313 Salon in Boulder, Colorado, is a very popular hair salon that offers various hair coloring techniques. Hair coloring performed in 1313 Salon gives your hair a natural, elegant look without destroying its beauty and structure with harsh chemicals.

Hair is composed of different shades of color. Hair that is exposed to sun, wind, and other natural elements becomes oxidized and produces different shades. The “balayage” technique available at 1313 Salon imitates this natural effect using a lightening powder mixed with a toner. The “balayage” technique originated in France during the 1980s. It is a freehand hair-painting method that uses up to three shades simultaneously.

Your hairstylist can use various techniques including highlights, lowlights, semi-permanent gloss, permanent hair color, and color correction. Highlights refer to the application of different shades of color to areas of the hair. Lowlights add contrast that gives your hair the depth and dimension you desire.

Gray or white hair can be covered by permanent hair coloring. For damaged hair, usually caused by over-the-counter hair coloring products, the ideal treatment is color correction or color balance. This removes unwanted hair color and restores the hair’s normal shades.

Residents of Boulder, Colorado, or visitors, need not go anywhere else other than to 1313 Salon for their hair coloring needs. For a free consultation, you may call (303) 402-1313 or visit the salon at 1313 Spruce Street, Boulder, Colorado. Website: http://jcduchene.com/
