Joey Gallagher, co-owner of Woop Woop Hair Salon in Stoughton, Mass, had an opportunity to play with some fun colors and decided to dive in. "After a short consultation with Eliza, we covered that she was experiencing life to its fullest, and wanted hair color that expressed just that. She's an adorable, fun, and free spirited college student with no job and no cares. As a stylist I took all of this and ran with it!" For the shape, Gallagher had some more fun: "We were growing out a 'Miley' type undercut, so we chewed up the sides with the razor a bit to add some texture to a 'boys regular' type thing. When we finished the whole thing we took a few pics, and I watched her get into her little convertible VW beetle and drive away with the biggest smile."
HOW TO for Eliza's transformation:
Step 1: Pre-lighten to a level 10 using L'Oreal Professionnel Infinie Platine and 40 volume with an 1/8 oz of a bond builder.
Step 2: Shampoo and dry the hair completely.
Step 3: Prepare two formulas: Formula 1 - Combine 2 oz of Pravana PASTELS Blissfull Blue, a half oz of VIVIDS Clear and half oz VIVIDS Silver. Formula 2 - In a separate bowl, combine 2oz VIVIDS Blue and a half oz VIVIDS Silver.
Step 4: Apply formula 1 to Diamond Mohawk section on top.
Step 5: Apply Formula 2 to the rest of the hair.
Step 6: Process 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature. Rinse with cool water and shampoo lightly, condition and protect with R+Co Moon Shampoo and Conditioner for shine and color protection.
