Teal Salon's Color Customization

Process is written and compiled by Victoria Wurdinger. Color customization’s cool—why not add local influences, too? Ryan and DeAnnalyn Teal, educators and owners of Teal Salon in Portland, Oregon, transformed a natural Level 6 with Level-8 grown-out highlights by taking inspiration from their surrounding Oregon woods. Ryan carved out the strong shape, then DeAnnalyn added wood-inspired tonality in the interior.

Formulas:

1: 1 oz. L'Oréal Professionnel Richesse 6.13 with 1.5 oz. 9-volume Richesse Developer
2: 2 scoops Platinium Lightener with 2 scoops 20-volume Platinium Developer
3: 1 oz. L'Oréal Professionnel Majirel 8.01 and 1.5oz. 30-volume Majirel Developer
4: 1 oz. Majirel 10.01 and 1.5 oz. 9-volume Majirel Developer

Steps to Success:

1. Apply Formula 1 to the previously lightened hair in the nape area only.
2. Take two, 1/2-inch, vertical zigzag partings on both sides, placing one in front and one in back of each ear. Apply Formula 1 to the previously colored hair only and seal in foil. This emulates "cracks" in wood.
3. Take a football-shaped section on top, and apply Formula 2 to the regrowth.
4. Through the rest of the hair, take 1/8 to 1/4-inch vertical sheets and alternate Formulas 2 and 3 on the regrowth only.
5. In the fringe, alternate 1/8- and 1/4-inch, vertical slices, applying Formulas 1 through 3 in a 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1 placement pattern. This creates a lighter feeling with a hint of lowlights.
6. Return to any areas with Formula 2 at the roots and pull it through the ends. Process to Level 10. Then shampoo, rinse and apply Formula 4 as a toner to all the hair except the nape. Process for three minutes, then rinse.
