Daniel Mora of Union Salon South, Pasadena, California has an Instagram page (@Danielmbeauty) filled with amazing makeovers and gorgeous finishes. A brand ambassador for SalonCentric and Redken, Mora is able to transform his client’s with uncomplicated foil placement that allows her to wear her hair up or down, letting the fresh color pop or disappear as desired.
For this upgrade, Mora says he did a placement “where if she decides to pull her hair back the face frame will actually disappear and look like she doesn’t have one, so she has the option on wearing her hair up without seeing the blonde.”
Here Mora shares the simple two steps for this powerful makeover:
STEP 1: Apply Redken Flash Lift and 10 volume developer (blended with Redken bonder) in foils. Placement is based on how client wears her hair, determined during the consultation, allowing a face frame and highlights that can pop or disappear. Process according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
STEP 2: Gloss wth Redken Shades EQ 08gi + 09aa with a splash of 06gb.
