SEARCHSee how Sungei Vo turned her client from brassy and rooty to a pretty rose petal pink.
Sungei Vo of Sean Lauren 2 Salon in Colleyville, Texas, is a Toni & Guy artist trained in cutting who just recently started doing color. Inspired by many artists on Instagram, Vo has been following and discovering formulas "from the greats such as Guy Tang, Tracy Cunningham, and many more featured on Modern Salon. Instagram is my secret weapon and the best resource for hair techniques, innovation and creative thinking."
When MODERN saw her pretty rose petal pink, we asked for the formula. Vo delivered:
