Jordan Pomeroy (@jbraidsandbows) of Blue Water Salon, Naples, Florida, says "My client had been blonde for the majority of her life and was tired of the upkeep. She had been toying with the idea of going darker but wasn't sure how she wanted to do it. So she rang out a few of every stylists favorite words, 'just do your thing girl, I trust you!.'" Done! Here Pomeroy shares the HOW she helped her client turn to the "dark side":

Apply a mixture of Wella Koleston Perfect 5/1 , 5/0, & 6/73 from base, pulling through in alternating sections. "I strategically left thin sections of her blonde out to create the look of soft highlights without any lightener being applied."
