——-when you’re sissy comes and gets her hair

——-when you’re sissy comes and gets her hair done——— third session on her naturally level 3 (very dark brown) hair color. YES even natural hair needs sessions! We’re not kidding here. And you know what she said? “Really through this whole process my hair has felt amazing”.
———————-
I never start in the same quadrant twice in a row. I start from the back with 10 vol, move to the right or heaviest parted side, with 20 vol and then finish the last side with a fresh bowl of 20 vol. fresh lightner is more important then the volume in my opinion. The lightner is working the hardest in those first moments after being mixed. Most lightner “lives” for 60 minutes. It doesn’t completely die but it’s not moving anything at serious speed after 60 minutes. I processed her for 60 minutes solid and used 2 bowls of lightner since it was her third session.
——————————
Her hair is very fine a delicate, that’s why I am taking my time and working with sessions. We’re leading up to spring so neither of us were in a rush.
I toned with her with @joico Lumishine demi gel color for around 15 minutes on towel dry hair at the shampoo bowl. I used my XL @oliviagardenint brush to create curls while drying. I use @leafandflowerhair for all her hair care today, washing, styling, healing. I am in love and thanks to @sam_premierbeauty for that awesome product, I’m officially hooked!!

Hi ho hi ho it’s silver hair we go! This is prob

Hi ho hi ho it’s silver hair we go! This is probably the most maintenance required color you can have and it comes with a whole set of “Do’s and Don’ts”. Sadly Covid prevented this client from coming in for regular maintenance so we spent 4 solid hours lightning her and toning. She had around 4 inches of regrowth, or what I like to call the “black hole”. Including the old shadow root we did. Please make sure you’re ready for what comes when you decide you want this color. It takes sessions and maintenance. This client really dedicated herself to her hair and even coming in so much later than normal, her ends were still beautiful blonde from before and it felt amazing! Because of that, she still needs one more session but her hair is 90% better then before. I was super happy with this result.

Love a full head of babylights mixed with teasy lights. Her baby fine hair needs such care! I did this with @joico blonde life and 10vol. Processed for around 45 minutes and had perfectly healthy hair! I removed 3 inches of super sad ends and that Improved her hair greatly! I also used Defy Damage through the process of her hair today. Lumishine demi gel color to glaze but no shadow root necessary.

It was a split decision (insert knee slapper)

You know @pulpriothair had everything to do with this hair today!! The depth and vibrancy! Choices were made and everything was magical! I used combinations of Lava, Candy, satire, firefly, Cupid, Jam and Velvet to name a few.

This was such a fun client, I love my unicorn bleeders.

From Red, to Gold, to smoke show!!

Just kidding, we have one more appointment before our goal is achieved but this was great today! Neutralized so much yellow and warmth in her hair!! Patience is key and trusting the process, you will get there!! Her hair is so long and thick we wanted to make sure she didn’t suffer ANY damage and she didn’t!! So healthy and beautiful! I need to bring my ring light back so we can get great pictures again, today was so snowy it was hard getting pictures.

What do you guys want to see next??

@joico blonde life to lift her hair and Joico Lumishine to tone. I toned her twice to create this amazing shade. One to neutralize the yellow then the second the create the grey tone. So much fun! Love these silver tones!!

She has naturally grey hair but a very dark steel color. We wanted to add some character and lighten her up a little. These lighter tones look amazing on her!!

Here is the after from a major color correction today. I would say she has 1-2 more appointments to hit her goal. We started with Malibu cpr packet to remove as much color build up as we could and to even out our palette. The struggle we had was with porosity. This was such a great first appointment and honestly I had so much fun with this amazing chick! I can’t wait for our next appointment. This hair is just going to get better and better! I used @malibucpro @joico @k18hair @aiirprofessional

Wowser!! I love when my clients are like “let’s do something totally different!” It’s my favorite!! Especially when I have something new like @k18hair. This was a fabulous transformation. We were both so happy!

🔮Before and after🔮

I am no magician but abracadabra!! 5 hours of careful lifting, coloring and cutting! Her naturally curly hair needed to be treated so carefully for this transformation. I used #joico color and lightner. Also #k18hair for some molecular repair. Her hair needed all the #hairlove it could get.

My first application was a partial head of teasy lights and to utilize her existing lightened hair. Then I dried it and applied a custom blend of @joicointensity color. Such beautiful color!!

Where we started and where we ended up. I love transformations. Especially when I get to make such a healthy difference. Educating clients on proper care and product usage. I inform them of everything I am going to be doing and why. When you sit in my chair, you have to trust the process. We’re going to go on a journey but we will get to the destination. My goal and first priority is always the health of your hair.

Color corrections are actually some of my favorite

Color corrections are actually some of my favorite things to do. I last saw this client back in August. In the mean time she dabbled a little in self color. Learned that wasn’t the beat route, but that’s okay. I never recommend doing your own color but i understand the desire. I just recommend that IF you do, and it doesn’t work out, know when to stop and ask for help! Her hair was in sad condition when she sat in my chair and we flipped it around! @joico defy damage all the steps of the way. It did so many amazing things! As well as @olaplex helping to repair the bonds in her hair. It felt so healthy!! I use #joico color for her hair. It will fade tone on tone brightening up as she washes her hair. Her goal is a beautiful pearl blonde and I am hopeful she will get there pretty quickly.

🎉formula time!!🎉

I want to state that when toning and formulating there is an equation that I use and I will share this later to see if it can’t help some others. There’s a lot of controversy in sharing formulas but I come from a unique situation. I pride myself on formulating, I will absolutely pat myself on the back for my ability to formulate. But I am in a suite, I’m alone. So when it comes to social media and I see stylists ask for formulas and others share them, I get excited because it’s kind of like being in the back room and bouncing ideas off eachother. Then there are people who are dead set against sharing formulas “because you don’t know the canvas” okay, I get that. You can not duplicate a formula. You have to formulate for your clients specific situation but like I’m about to share, this is scary. Hair that processes purple!! That would terrify some newer (and experienced) stylists. Even I had a “hold my breath” moment. Our eyes tell us “that’s not right” and we freak out. So sharing this and the formula may help someone else to formulate and do better for them and their client. I will always share my formulas with the understanding that my formula shouldn’t be duplicated unless you’re client is in the same situation. Something as simple as the shampoo you wash bleach out with with adjust the PH and change your results.

I started with a clean level 9 prelightned hair.

90% dry I applied
Joico 5NW and 6SB to the new growth and blended down with a dry brush.
Then once applied I went back, starting at the nape and applied
Joico lumishine liquid demi
10V 9V 9SB 1BS(a cap full)

I let this process for 25 minutes. Then I rinsed with cooler water.

I formulated this color for the long run. She’ll be back in college classes soon and I like to formulate to keep my babes good for the long run! That’s why we used Demi’s. Super excited about this color. Thanks for all the enthusiasm guys!!

Hi Ho Silver!!!!
Wow! What an amazing treat this hair was to do! Her third appointment going lighter and we really nailed it. We got her lighter than we had been able to previously and really focused on her tones. Then had a great blank canvas to work with to create this amazing blended silver! Obsessed for sure!
