Suzanne Nguyen (@Hairbysuzanne_) of Vogue Salon and Lounge, San Jose, California, is a color specialist and loves to do all types of color. "I range from natural tones, creative metallic tones, and unicorn colors. Sometimes I mix them together."
For this client Nguyen had a challenge. "I had a couple of different services done from other salons one of them included a base lift which caused a slight 5 inches of banding. She wanted something closer to her natural but not a solid dark brown color. For this correction I had to blur out various bands that she had. Then go back and added depth and dimension without compromising the hair."
Here Nguyen shares the details for this makeover:

Formula 1: Wella Color Touch 5/75 with 6 volume
Formula 2: Wella Color Touch 6/7 with 6/71 equal parts with 6 volume
Formula 3: Wella Color Touch 4/0 with 6 volume
