THE STORY:
“Hannah’s one of my favorite clients and a great friend from our gym. For her inspiration, she actually brought in a picture from our friends at Nine Zero One Salon — a beautiful, textured bob with some soft, dimensional Balayage. Believe it or not, this was her second time ever having anything more than a haircut!”
CHALLENGES:
“Thankfully, Hannah is one of the rare ones who never really does anything to her hair; so there really were no complications to deal with. She comes in about once a year to refresh her color and cut.”
LET’S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS:
“Hannah actually let me cut off about 8 inches of her thick hair. Then I focused on Balayage placement and went with my go-to technique. I try my best to visualize the natural lay of the sections and lightening. With that in mind, I then alternate V’s, W’s, and bolder, painted sections. Hannah really likes to keep it as low maintenance as possible, and this placement is key in helping her have that.”
LONG-TERM COLOR FORECAST:
“I knew if I toned her down to a cool level 8 she would fade nicely over the coming weeks; and end with a result that would hold her over for the next year LOL!”
