You don’t have to completely re-invent their looks to give a brilliant boost that’s just the right amount of change.

Belson Products Artistic Team member Carmen Schneider’s motto is “build on and enhance what your clients already bring and help them explore their potential with new ideas and possibilities.” Here, Schneider added rich cherrywood highlights to enhance model Renee’s Level-4 hair. Then, Schneider broke Renee out of her straight habit by creating three looks based on wave and achieved with sophisticated, yet simple heat-styling techniques.
