Haley Ferreira (@mermaidhairs), a stylist at Cutting Loose Salon, Sarasota, Florida, really jumped on the opportunity when client  Arianna said "I want to go red." Here she offers the HOW TO:

Step 1:  Color balance the midshaft using Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two, Paul Mitchell Syncrolift and 30 volume cream developer, avoiding the pre lightened ends. ("The goal is to get to a level 7.")

Step 2: Treat the hair with Paul Mitchell KeraTriplex treatment for 15 minutes. Dry completely.

Step 3: Apply Paul Mitchell The Color  6R, 8R 7A 30 volume to the new growth.

Step 4: Apply Paul Mitchell The Color 6R 8R from the midshaft to ends. Process for 35 minutes.

Step 5: Glaze with equal parts Paul Mitchell Ink Works Pink, Red and Purple for a top coat "to really make her color pop!"
