"It is a unicorn treat to have two great minds come together as one," says Milcah Josephian (@gotmilkyway84) about this collaboration with Toni Rose Larson (@HAIRITAGESALONCARLSBAD). The finish is the result of what Josephian says is "a match made in heaven. What a great pleasure to join forces with a seasoned veteran. To be a sponge and absorb her knowledge and skills in this industry is truly a blessing."
Josephian adds, "This creation is not only near and dear to my heart but a great pampering experience that I don't usually get to enjoy. I've always done my own color and extensions because as an artist, I am ridiculously picky and I honestly haven't found or trusted anyone who can create something that I can flaunt proudly. I was extremely ecstatic to be connected mentally and artistically with Toni. We just came together and ideas started to mesh naturally."
Their joint venture birthed what they call "Molten Lava" which was inspired by Larson's "Girl on Fire" creation. "I have always believed a great artist always looks for innovative and unique trends that push us out of our comfort zone to shine light on new eye catching masterpieces," says Josephian. "I hope this hair art inspires you all to compose groundbreaking formulations and designs. Cheers to you Toni!"
