Hair by MJ Mamo-Ricardi

Any colorist knows the absolute hardest color to recreate is a natural/lived in real-world red/copper. When clients go grey and want their natural color back it is an extreme challenge to recreate. I took on the challenge and it is one of the most rewarding things I’ve been able to achieve in my career. 😌

I LOVE ❤️ when my gorgeous blondes take their own before/after (swipe ➡️) photos! Literally 6 remix bowls, 5 inches off length all around and about 6 1/2 hours later but 100000% absolutely worth it. 👑

Vibrant ❤️🍒 reds aren’t made in an hour and should fade as beautifully as hers did! Using every step of the way with some kenra additives for the base.

Color has my heart but cuts and styles deserve some love too ♥️

💙 color correction and classic layered cut (swipe for before!)

The last addition to last weeks series: COPPER FLAME 🔥 using to clean the base. pics before, during and after the process in reverse order. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To this lovely lady 🥳

Next in the copper series: COPPER PENNY! Dimensional Brunette and dark copper tones meet a splash of gold from natural undertones and chocolate!

Copper round 3:…. CARA-CARA COPPER! this gorgeous piece came about by accident when a color I used a while ago refused to pull out of the ends. So we roll with the punches and add some balayage highlights and add some rose tones!
