Another fun Color time❤️❤️ I’ve been styling Lauren’s hair since I think freshman in high school? I lose track of how fast our kiddos grow up 😩 when we first started with Lauren‘s hair it was a very subtle balayage. Then she started wanting to explore a bit and added we added some purples and pinks. This last appointment she showed me a picture of this super dope split blonde🙌🏼 so when she flips her hair she could be really blonde or really dark🙌🏼 I said let’s do it! Here are her photos and she’s on her college journey kicking ass!! This is a very very bright young woman with a Big future ahead❤️ Love her whole family!
20 volume (clear developer)
Back to back thin slice highlights starting at the nape of her neck 2 inches behind her ear. Stopping just shy of the middle part. Processed 40-50 min
Toned with SV Rapid Toner 🎉

SWIPE 🙌🏼 Before and After of my Rockstar badass babe! Do Blondes have more fun? 🧐🤩 I’ve been doing my friends hair for probably 12 years lol! She was always dark brown (level 3) and at times box color (don’t come for her!💪🏾🤣) She calls me and says I ordered some blonde balayage extensions and want to go blonde🤣 She has fragile fine hair like me so I knew I had to be very gentle. Her roots were touched up a week before we started with Paul Mitchell 3N+ before the surprise blonde journey. I completely under promised like always so that I could over deliver. This only took 1 session (+1 extra mini session to add blonder money pieces in the front)
I did back to back thin slice highlights using with their 20 volume CLEAR developer
Processed for about 40 min
Followed with my fave toner - SV Rapid Toner by 🙌🏼

My heart goes out to my beautiful brides❤️ I have had 3 wedding cancellations and 2 postponed weddings so far for the month of April. I Know the stress involved with planning a wedding, but then to have the extra stress cancelling or postponing is exponential! This is a crazy time with unexpected circumstances🙏🏼 I’m going to do my very best while trying to accommodate everyone with all these changes and I pray everyone stays healthy❤️ As a small business owner I can’t imagine what other businesses may be going through. Keep the faith y’all, God is good🙏🏼
