Grace Joo @colorwithgrace is a blonding specialist in South Pasadena, CA and one of our 2018 MODERN SALON 100 Artists.  Her feed is filled with beautiful hair color finishes and she often shares her formulas and her process.  This beautiful "after" caught our eye...

"My client usually gets a full rooty bleach-out but she's ready for a change!" Joo says. "She had told me she is going to be in a wedding in October so I recommended her to go for something more natural.When she comes back in right before the wedding we will be doing the same process minus the lowlights and tone her down to a warmer, beigey-blonde!"

  1. Mixed 20 volume Schwarzkopf Professional BlondeMe  and 5n+5g+5cb Redken Shades Eq for her lowlights.
