Amanda LoCastro (@HairByAmanduhh), a Master Colorist/ Stylist at DiRosa Haircare, Franklin Square, NY, is passionate about corrective color, balayage, "and just hair in general!"

Here she shares the details for this beautiful color correction:

Backstory: This client had a pretty traumatizing experience at another salon where the colorist damaged her hair by over processing. Another colorist then toned her to a merlot color. She was looking to achieve something super close to her natural with very subtle chocolate brown dimension.
