Lisa the Masterpiece of the Day





Lisa came to us with hair that was red at the mid shaft, red over black on the ends and natural outgrowth of about 2 inches and...................she wanted to be blonde. I know of many well seasoned colorists who would have turned on their heels and ran the other way. Well, not Krisitn, she was definetly up for the challenge and had the confidence to know that she could do the job and still save the integrity of Lisa's hair. Kristin did explain to Lisa that the beautiful honey blonde that she wanted will take some time, say at least two more visits over the next few months. This lovely strawberry blonde will certainly turn heads in the meantime. I watched Kristin as she very methodically applied color first to the mid shaft and then going to the next step of coloring the outgrowth and finally adding some very blonde panels of color throughout. This not only takes skill and patience, but also the knowledge to know how to choose the appropriate colors that will all work together. She used 4 different applications of color. After the color was completed I cut Lisa's hair. I gave her a more defined Bob with a shorter fringe to soften the forehead area. This was a great transformation and from what I understand a surprise for her boyfriend.
