From Blonde to Mahogany

Brian took Amanda from blonde to mahogany in a few short hours. There are a few steps to insure that the color will have a deep natural tone, as well as, lasting through shampooings and exposure to the elements.

Amanda's hair is not only a beautiful color for her skin tone, it looks far healthier than the blonde.

Chloe

Chloe already had short hair, but the cut needed a shape that was more suited to her type of hair, and facial features.  Her hair is very straight, with the added challenge of many cowlicks at the neckline and crown area.  Chole's bang area is heavy with a strong forward growth pattern, so I gave her an asymmetrical bang so as not to have alot of hair on her face.  The back is contoured to the shape of her head. With the way this cut frames her face it brings out her eyes and facial structure.  We talked about letting the side grow longer, so this maybe a cut in progress.  The cut accentuates her very pretty face.  

Martina before and after

Martina has come all the way from Vienna to have her hair cut.......actually Martina is a friend visiting and while she was here I gave her a quick make over on her hair before she and her husband took off for Costa Rica.   Martina's hair is fine and needs layers to give it more volume.  Unfortunately we didn't have time to add a few highlights, which also gives fine hair more body.  Her new look is very youthful and will be extremely easy to manage.  For this look I did use a flatiron to smooth out areas that wanted to curl.  This cut can also be dried naturally to give it a much more casual look.  

Mary Lou

Mary Lou has long dark thick hair.  We layer Mary Lou's hair to give it movement and volume.  The layers are shorter at the crown and blend to the longest length just below her shoulders.  That works well for someone like Mary Lou because of the volume of her hair.  If the hair is somewhat thin, bringing the length up above the should is recommended.  Thin hair left beyond the shoulders only separates and does not look it's best.  Even though Mary Lou's hair is slightly curly, she has a Keratin Protein relaxer on it to keep the hair smooth and easy to manage in the Florida humidity.  Mary Lou is a volunteer Director at Save Our Seabirds on Longboat Key (formerly The Pelican Man Sanctuary).  SOS is located at 1708 Ken Thompson Parkway between St. Armands and Longboat Key.  To read more about SOS visit their website at www.saveourseabirds.org.
