Geysha Tomassone (@hair.by.geysha) of the Mora Salon, Cherry Hill, NJ (@morasalon) gladly met the challenge of taking her 50% gray, level 8 gold client to her desired level 10 platinum.

"My client of about 5 years came in for her appointment with another look in mind then her normal level 8 single process," says Tomassone. "She wanted to be platinum blonde! She just turned 55 and wanted to feel and look young. I was on board completely. Her hair was in decent shape and I knew her hair could handle this process." Tomassone knew a double process was required. "She has a lot of hair and this was a quicker and effective way to be a solid platinum blonde. I actually had to lightened her twice." The gray strands added dimension. "This big transformation took 4 hours from start to finish."
