Vicki Forrest at Mosaic Hair and Body

Why am I so passionate about Shades EQ?

Because I trust it.

It’s my go-to for toning, glossing, grey blending, refreshing faded colour, and adding shine. It gives predictable, beautiful results while keeping the hair healthy and conditioned.

I use it every single day because it lets me create colour that looks natural, grows out beautifully, and feels as good as it looks.

There’s a reason I joke that I’ll live and die by Shades EQ. I genuinely believe it’s one of the best colour products ever made.

There’s something about washing the last colour bowl of the week that feels like closing a chapter. The studio is quiet, the lights are off, and I take a moment to be grateful… for the space that has become my second home, for every guest who chose Mosaic, and for the trust they place in me every day.

Sundays are for filling my own cup. Resting, resetting, and preparing to welcome everyone back for another week of creating, connecting, and doing what I love. 🤍

Let’s talk color corrections 🤓

The kind of appointment that makes most people nervous is the one that gets me excited. I love figuring out the “why,” making a plan, and bringing hair back to life one step at a time.

Colour correction isn’t about rushing to the finish line. It’s about trusting the process, protecting the integrity of the hair, and creating a result that looks intentional, not like you’re fixing a mistake.

Safe to say… we understood the assignment on this one. ✨

Tell me one fun fact about yourself in the comments! 👇✨

Client: “Make me grey.” 🤷🏼‍♀️
Vicki: “Hold my foils.” 😉

We’re all going grey anyway… why not embrace it beautifully?

Grey blending doesn’t have to be dull. When it’s done right, your natural silver becomes bright, dimensional, and effortlessly blended.

Not every transformation needs a dramatic colour change. ✨

Sometimes it’s all about adding the length and fullness that brings your colour to life. A fresh set of seamless extensions filled in the ends, enhanced her lived-in blonde, and created that soft, effortless finish that looks completely natural.

Beautiful hair isn’t always about more colour, sometimes it’s about more hair. 🤍
