Alisha Jared (@alishajaredhairartistry) from Siren Salon in Vancouver, WA, had fun with a challenge. "This client came to me as a birthday present from her mom. Her inspiration picture was fire engine red, but she had fairly recently box colored her hair black! I was prepared to deal with uneven lift and banding, however, in being cautious, I was able to get her to lift exceptionally well. Wherever I applied my lightener, I was able to achieve EXACTLY what I was looking for." In addition to great results, Jared has gained (and EARNED) a client for life. This transformation took place all in one day, in 2 sessions. Total time: 4.5 hours.
