Jessica Mendieta (@jessdomyhair) of the Butterfly Loft (@butterflyloftsalon) in Los Angeles, CA, had a fun opportunity with her client."

Jana came in wanting an edgier look," says Mendieta. "I gave her a shaggy haircut, and decided to accentuate that. Her overall goal is to go lighter, so I started her 'going lighter' hair journey!"

Mendieta adds, "Hands down, we nailed it. There is no reason why you can't fall head over heals in love with every stage. I absolutely love doing hair, and possibilities and wonders of what I could create! My Butterfly Loft Salon family truly make me want to raise the bar."
