Would you believe me if i said i toned this 3 times 😩😩. Reds are truly tricky, but fun at the same time, but love how the overall result came out to be. If your interested in booking any color service with me please come get you a free consultation and let’s do it. Yes, some times color inspo pics may be unrealistic for some people, but that’s what consulting is for. It’s always Healthy hair before damage hair for me.

Of course I forgot to take a before 😩, so let me explain what I did. 

When she came in she had about 3-4 inches of new growth with a few greys at about a level 4 1/2- 5 , mid/ends were at a brassy level 7. Her overall goal was just to be close to her natural hair color all over. Also she wanted a haircut, we cut about 3 inches off in a u-shape and gave her some subtle face framing! And y’all🤩🤩🤩….. This is the end result and I loved it as much as she did. If you’re interested in booking an appointment please contact me and let me get you on my books.

Products used:
⚫️ kerastase_official Bain Riche Chroma Respect shampoo &conditioner
⚫️kerasilkofficial control smoothing fluid 
⚫️kerasilkofficial control rich protective oil

Toner:

Hollywood waves 🌊!! Just a reminder NOT EVERYONE is a candidate for this hairstyle. Please take into consideration of your hair texture and/or density. Just because you pull up a Pinterest photo of a style you want does not mean that it’s always achievable, unless you have some sort of extensions to work with(sometimes it still not achievable), which is why consultations are SO IMPORTANT. If you’re interested in booking an appt with me dm me and let’s talk about it ❤️.
