1 min to read


Muriel Dee (@Muriel_dee89)  of Frank Gironda, Wheaton, IL., joined forces with Ivan Milanovic (@ivystyles707) to correct this "situation." According to Dee, the new client "previously had a red brown color on her hair and she bleached it out herself at home. She came to us with the orange splotchy color and was looking for a buttery blonde result."

Here Dee shares the details for this 3 1/2 hour correction. All color used is Redken:
