Silver belle 🔥 Can't get enough of 's amazing silver transformations! 😍
•
This gorgeous client came to see me from San Diego, she was extremely tired of coloring her hair every 3 weeks so we decided to match her hair with her roots. In this transformation I lightened the whole hair in foils by taking very thin sections using flash lift power 9 with bonding inside with 20 vol and leaving her natural roots untouched until I reached level 10 pale blonde, rinsed, towel dried and and pre-toned the yellow with Redken shade eq 1/4 10VV + 3/4 10P with double the amount clear (00) mixed with equal amount processing solution for 20 minutes. Rinsed the hair again, dry 80% and applied Redken shades eq 10 T with equal amount processing solution for 30 minutes. Then dry hair again and create the low lights in foils to match the pattern of her roots using Redken gels 5AB mixed with 10 vol for about 30 min(when applying the low light on silver base hair it won’t go as brassy when it fade), when its time to rinse the dark parts first apply conditioner on the silver hair outside the foils to avoid the silver from getting stained, shampoo Cut long layers and style with round brushes. Total service 9 hours. Let’s hear your opinion about this transformation.

Best co-worker present ever! Thanks Pam!!

Dearest clients,

Please wear your mask properly (covering your mouth AND nose) when I am servicing you.

Respectfully,

Blaire, who wants to do your hair

To my wonderful clients/friends/confidants,

I'm writing to you from the safety of my parent's home, financially stable because of the grace of unemployment. As the date to re-open salons draws closer, I'm filled with many conflicting emotions.

I have been an intimate service provider for 27 years! I have grown emotionally and professionally because of you and I hope you believe our relationship has enriched your life, too. I feel so lucky to be able to simultaneous do art and culture relationships. What a gift!

The wake up call to our global interdependence has happened and is playing out in the most personal ways. To be aware that the air I'm breathing into my body and out to yours has the potential to cause someone's death has been lavishly unthinkable in our corner of the world until now.

So...

How do we safely transition to being close to each other again? How do I spread out appointments AND make a living without being there 12 hours a day? The answers come down to figuring out what I know and getting comfortable with not knowing. (This is the perfect place for the analogy of growing people's hair out. It's a lot of let's wait and see :))

I'm writing this to you so you can see where I'm at- but also to ask for your patience while we are bravely figuring out the new world. Here are some thoughts/requests:

*I may not be able to get everything in on your first appointment. Let's figure out the most important and go from there, please.

*Please wear a mask that hooks behind your ears. I have some disposable masks in case you forget.

*Please wash your hands before we start your service.

*Please stay in the parking lot until I either text or wave you in.

*Since I am lengthening appointment times, pre-booking is more important than ever.

*Many of you have pre-paid for your first appointments. I am super grateful, but also super forgetful! I have put the amounts on your account, but need a reminder to look 😅

*My timing is going to be off for a bit. Please be patient while waiting for your appointment. Now I know some of you may be rolling your eyes at this lol. My timing may have been a bit off in the past. But I'm not using this as an excuse! (However, it is a really good one) I promise to do the best I can in this area.

*We cannot hug even though I will want to.

*I might cry because of the above..and think you can't tell because of my mask. It's ok to let me think this. 😂

Well, I think that is it for now. I may be adding to the list so please check this post before your appointment. Please comment with anything else you might find helpful.

Love,

Blaire
