Cool brown and burgundy balayage

Going dark can actually be a way to get your hair healthy! But you must use deposit-only color that restores the hairs integrity rather than further damages it. And you have to keep it dark until the unhealthy hair is cut away- lightening it too soon would defeat the purpose of going dark!

Okay, so this one’s been sitting in my drafts for way too long… but how could I not show off this jaw-dropping transformation on my niece?!

From grown-out to goddess—these rich violet tones gave her hair a whole new life.
It may be an old pic, but the color still hits every time!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I might’ve been quiet on here, but trust—I’ve been behind the chair creating magic. More to come soon!

✨ Color Correction Reality Check 🎨
Color correction isn’t a one-size-fits-all process — it’s chemistry, patience, and understanding what needs to happen next 🧪💥

Every head of hair is different: past colors, underlying pigments, condition, and even how the hair feels that day can affect results. What looks simple can take hours (or multiple sessions) to get right. Sometimes the plan has to pivot mid-process — because hair will throw surprises.

That’s why consultations matter, why we trust the process, and why patience is everything. 💬🖤
If you’re in it for a correction journey, bring your trust and don’t forget your snacks — we’re in this together. 💪🔥
