Color correction, color enhancing.
With this client we wanted to break thru the funky tone on some of her ends and move towards grey enhancing. Moved close to final goal and maintained health of her hair.

Change is good.
Color adjustment and transitioning.
High- low lighting to change tone and add some depth and dimension,
with goal of allowing some of natural white to eventually intermingle in the color.

Who said highlights are just for blondes?
Cherry highlights on a deep chocolate base…

Corrective Dimension.
Black build up of color on mid shaft and ends. Fine highlights , ( no bleach used, no toning required), breaks up and softens the black, and softer tone applied to the new growth.

Trust the process. Second session transitioning to a lighter and more translucent haircolor. This will lead to a lighter overall look, and her existing grey will “appear” as highlights…. And we may still add some additional highlights

Do you want to lighten your haircolor?
Transitioning to new lighter color
This client wanted to go to lighter color , so her new growth wouldn’t be as obvious.
There are many ways to take your haircolor lighter. We could have done a full decolorization of previously colored hair, but client was unsure about big change. …that would have gotten her to goal. That would have also been 8+ hr process.
By slowly transitioning , we added lighter hair within the lengths giving look of overall lighter hair, and retouching new growth slightly lighter than previous color. This transition process took 5+ hrs.
If you are looking to change your haircolor, let’s talk.

Got grey hair? Grey hair solutions!
There are many solutions to cover, lighten, enhance, or blend grey.
One of my favorite techniques, grey blending, I used with this client. Took her from full lightening/coverage to get blending, using a unique formulation that slightly shifts the still pigmented hair, and softly colors the white hair, so that it looks like natural highlights. Intentional, natural dimension.
If you have “salt and pepper “ hair, this technique can work for.
If your hair is 100% white, there are other techniques.

First steps to possible change.
Sometimes you aren’t sure about a change. That’s when we move in baby steps to slowly transition to new color. Here I started with a deep chocolate. (0f course I forgot to take before pic)
Cooled her base color and added the subtlest bronde highlights. In a few months we will discuss if and how much we want to further transition.

Bride to be!! She’s getting married in three weeks. Today was highlight retouch and refresh, so her color will be beautiful on her special day . Her hair is naturally warm brown, so highlighting with reds gives her the rich tones of the reds with lower maintenance .

Grey Blending…. Low maintenance…
Warms up the hair and the white reads as highlights .
