Denise Mahoney (@colourauthority) of Colour Authority Salon and Spa, Portland, Oregon, says first time client Samantha came in with very warm ends and about 6 months of regrowth looking for a color upgrade. Details here.
Josh Boynton says that rose undertones, for both gold and brown bases are flattering for just about any skin tone. Here he shares details for a recent makeover with a lovely rose brown result.
Marie Negrón says “My beautiful client here is a busy mom of two baby girls and sometimes it is hard for her to keep up with her blonde. She decided to color her hair at home and unfortunately it didn’t come out as she expected. I was able to correct her color in five hours.”
Anthony Marmiani (@AnthonySlays) says guest Sam “came to me with hopes of being a platinum blonde global bleach out." It took work and sensitive formulation, but mission accomplished.
Montana Schmidt (@paintslikeschmidt) of Kevin and Co, Danville, IL. says "I’ve been best friends with this girl for about 8 years now and she has the thickest most gorgeous hair. I hadn’t done her hair in almost a whole year, so of course she was ready to go brighter."
The foundation upon which all corrective color rests is understanding oxidation. According to Missy Peterson, global education and artistic director for Malibu C it's the key to mastering the ins and outs of corrective hair color.
This client found her new colorist (one of MODERN's faves) on Pinterest. Learn more about this color correction and how her new colorist fixed the banding while maintaining the integrity of the hair - all while bringing her to a dimensional platinum.
“This lovely lady loves to do that big dramatic change once a year,” says Christina Luck. “We got her to a gorgeous icy blonde last year and now she was ready to make the plunge into copper red.” Check out the lovely new shade and get the formula.
Amy Malarchik has been referred to as the “Transformation Queen." This color conversion is particularly inspiring. Noting that she is the ideal client to get the brightest blonde, Malarchik says she has "a base color that just lifts to the perfect pale yellow where the toner can do everything I want it to." See what happens after some highlights and perfect toning.
“This client found me on Instagram through another stylist friend of hers,” says Montana Schmidt. It had been 9 months since Schmidt last saw this client. “Our original plan was to just bring her blonde back up and to go brighter. As you can see we ended up with something a bit more fun!”
Amy Koepke says her new client came in "hating where her hair was at. It was way warmer and darker than she wanted and there were a couple of different bands throughout. Our goal was to get her in a cooler lighter place with the time we had while maintaining the integrity of her hair." Mission accomplished.
Marina Sellecchia (@colorbymarina) says her client with extremely brassy solid ends was looking for a more dimensional balayage look and less red. Sellecchia knew she had to create dimension and formulate properly to make it look its best and equally important, last.
"I had the pleasure of meeting this client for the first time after she was inspired by a similar look I did on another client," says Ashlie Marmo (@ashytones). "It has been quite a few years that anything had been done to her hair so she was looking for a BIG change."
