Unbelievable hair magic by @jackmartincolorist, one of our favorite gray gods! • @jackmartincolorist This beautiful client came to me from Atlanta with very damaged hair that had 7000 different brassy colors, she was seeking gray silver color to blend and match her 100% gray roots so she can stop coloring her hair brown boxed color, total service was 7 hours, I started the long process by removing the artificial dye using @malibucpro cpr then @pravana color extractor for 45 minutes each process, then I bleach the whole head starting from where her gray roots starts in foils using @oligopro extra blonde and 20 vol developer mixed with @olaplex leaving her gray roots out for about 4 hours by taking very thin sections for faster lightening process until I reached level 10 pale yellow blonde, during processing I had to open each foil and reapply a new lightener mixture to warm areas, then rinsed hair, pre toned with redken shade eq 1/2 9p + 1/2 9T for 20 minuets to cancel all the yellow from the hair, rinsed again, dried hair then applied Kenra silver metallic 8 SM with 6 vol for 30 minuets, shampooed, conditioned, cut layered bob and styled with round brushes. Total service: 9-10 hours #tustinhairstylist #tustinsalon #tustinhair #irvinehair #irvinehairstylist #irvinesalon #irvinebalayage #newportbeachsalon #newportbeachhair #newportbeachhairstylist #newportbeachbalayage #balayagehair #balayageombre #balayagehighlights #orangecountysalon #orangecountyhairstylist #beverlyhillshair #beverlyhillssalon #beverlyhillshairstylist @kenraprofessional @oligoprousa #oligopro
