Debora Salvino (@styledby_debbe) has a quote in her Instagram bio that says “no two manes are the same.” You can see how she celebrates this in the work that she does through custom color tailored to each client. She makes her color work and clients the stars of the show, taking her photos in front of clean black or white backgrounds that truly make her images pop.
Top-performing post: A beautiful brunette and creamy blonde balayage I did on one of my favorite manes. I think it went viral because the tones complimented each other so perfectly!
