Most viral post: Photo of @paudictado. This was probably my most reposted photo because she is beautiful in the photo and her hair and makeup look amazing. Also because of how light her silver is and the contrast with her dark root looks great.
Favorite apps: Lightroom, to adjust lighting in photos, especially when I have to take them indoors. Facetune, to smooth out any imperfections on the skin and InShot, for editing videos and IG stories.
Favorite hashtags: #modernsalon #hairstyles #haircolor
