THE AGE OF THE ARTIST MOVEMENT was inspired by the "UNICORN TRIBE" collective vibe," says Toni Rose Larson (@hairitagesaloncarlsbad), owner of Hairitage Salon (@hairitagesalon), Carlsbad, Cal. "My 'Born On A Journey' color design is an extension of self, a creative expression, and my interpretation of that on a living canvas!" (see more about the Unicorn Tribe below).
Here she offers the HOW TO on this beautiful "Purple To Pink" melt:
"Client had built up Pravana Vivids. I decolorized with Pravana Clear and 30 vol. processing with heat for 20 min. Shampoo and blow dried. Client also had built up home box color that was at a level 6" through out the back of her head. I pre-lightened her with lightener + 30 vol and Olaplex. Taking 1/3 inch sections using 'Embee.Meche' Apply 2 inches from scalp up to her ends. I then bumped her base using lightener + 20 vol and Olaplex lifting her base to a level 9 and lifting the remaining hair to a level 9/10. Applying lightener + 20 vol and Olaplex through her ends at the shampoo bowl. Apply Olaplex Bond Perfector #2 for 5 min. Shampoo and blow dry. I sent client home with Olaplex #3 to maintain the integrity if her hair."

NOTES FROM LARSON ON THE UNICORN TRIBE: "As we learn from each other new techniques and styles, we are also bouncing ideas, tricks and learned experience driven practical applications known to nullify issues that may arise in creating such a BOLD look! Creative COLOUR is at the top of its game right now and as an elder of the UNICORN TRIBE I am happy to showcase my creative prowess in this particular area of expertise. The age of the Artist is more than picking up a box of premixed color and 30 minutes later you're finished, with a mess to correct!! The movement is art, hair painting takes time. As we strive as a collective for the betterment of our art as a whole we are %100 driven to showcase the works of art."
