Lauren Pettinelli (@breakingbronde), co-owner of Monroe on Mane in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, says, "This is the second time I got to get my hands in my guest Marissa's hair. She loves the natural balayage blend so naturally that's what we went with. On her first visit we were working on breaking some old color banding. This time our goal was to be less brassy which we were able to achieve."

Here Pettinelli shares the details for this makeover:
