Makeover by Frances Canola
Frances Canola (@frances_hairartist) of Bauhaus Salon, Orange, California, (and a MODERN Artist Connective member) says her client was “Jumping around to different salons getting different lightning sessions. It had been a year since she has colored her hair so her before photo is a reflection of the fade, in combination with not using the proper shampoos and conditioners to maintain her blonde highlights.”
Canola realized she had a job ahead of her so brought in assistant @Reneeshin who targeted the back as Canola targeted the front.
