Los Angeles-based stylist Veronica Nunez is known for creating "effortless" waves and "I woke up like this" styles on the models and clients she works with. Here, she gives us a step-by-step on one of her most requested looks (not to mention, the same one that racked up more than 8,000 likes when reposted to MODERN SALONS' Instagram page).
"This look marries perfectly with color melt trends like the ombre, sombre, bayalage and flamboyage," Nunez says. "I love this look because you see the person and not a hairstyle, and your client can rework the texture with her hands without tools. Every decade has a definitive trend, and these deconstructed waves the wispy texture, which I refer to as 'tousled tresses', is in-demand at the moment."
