Removing Years of Box Color to Create a Beautiful Blue Violet

Rogue Hair Studio in Kennesaw, Georgia is owned by Melissa Meacham. We’ve shared her work before and this recent makeover impressed us because she removed years of box color for her client, Beauty Vlogger Savannah Wallace (@savannahkwallace) and then gave her a heavenly blue with hints of violet. And here’s how:

Step 3: Tigi Oatmeal and Honey deep conditioning treatment
