Getting the Alysa Liu “Angel Halo” in Pink at Assort London
At Assort London, we are constantly inspired by how global culture and high-performance sports collide with hair fashion. This season, all eyes are on the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics gold medalist, Alysa Liu.
While her triple axels made history, it was her iconic “Angel Halo” hair—a striking horizontal band of color representing the rings of a tree and her personal growth—that captured the fashion world’s imagination.
Recently, a client came to our Shoreditch salon wanting to pay homage to Alysa’s strength but with a soft, creative twist: The Pink Halo.
What is the “Angel Halo” Technique?
Unlike traditional vertical highlights or balayage, the Halo Style (or Ring Dye) involves a precise horizontal sectioning of the hair. It creates a “halo” effect that circles the head, offering a bold graphic look that shifts and dances as you move.
In our client’s version, we traded Alysa’s high-contrast blonde for a vibrant Sakura Pink. By keeping the natural dark roots and ends, the pink “halo” pops with an editorial edge that fits perfectly into the East London aesthetic.
Why it works: The horizontal band emphasises the texture of the cut, making it the perfect companion for the “hime” layers or the Japanese wolf cut.
Premium Care: Milbon & K18 at Assort
Achieving a vivid pink while maintaining hair integrity is a delicate balance. At Assort London, we don’t compromise on hair health. To ensure your “halo” stays angelic and not frazzled, we exclusively offer two of the industry’s most advanced treatments:
1. Milbon Signature Treatment
Hailing from Japan, Milbon is the gold standard for restoring “SSVR-Silk” (the hollowed-out shafts in damaged hair).
-
Best for: Clients who want that signature Japanese “glass hair” shine and silkiness after bleaching.
-
The Result: Your pink halo will have a luminous, reflective glow.
2. K18 Biomimetic Hairscience
For those going for an ultra-light pink that requires significant lifting, we recommend K18. This isn’t just a conditioner; it’s a molecular breakthrough that reconnects broken keratin chains.
-
Best for: Core structural repair. It works in just 4 minutes to reverse damage from bleach and heat.
-
The Result: Hair that feels as strong as it did before the colour service.
How to Style Your Halo
The beauty of the Alysa Liu-inspired look is its versatility:
-
Sleek & Straight: Shows off the precision of the horizontal line.
-
Wavy/Textured: Breaks up the “halo” into flickering flashes of pink, creating a more ethereal, lived-in look.
