DIMENSONAL REDS AND BLONDES CERTIFICATE

This class was informative on both placement and color theory for delivering a big impact. I definitely think it helped me think about light reflection and placement of color in a new way.

Here is a vibrant red I did after this class and I am really happy with it. I would definitely call it a 'Dimensional Red!'

Time to Go Warm for Fall?

Not so "insane" but interesting. I always think because red in is the rarest that's why women want to try it. I've also noticed an upswing in request for red hair in 2015.. after at least 5 years of almost zero demand. It's been a fun change to see red back in my chair!

If you are thinking of making a change to red, you can always go low-commitment by having some foils woven in (either naturally or more "fashion statement") with your regular hair.

There's a link to book an appointment right here on this blog - see you soon!

Adding a Little Fire

This was a fun little red adventure.. For a long long time we had been highlighting and then low lighting with red (she's a natural level 5-6 brunette). As happens over time she was getting a little bored with the color and feeling kind of same-ole same-ole so we came up with a plan to ad lots of chunky red low lights (using the Keune Semi so it's super gentle and conditioning, and while there will be some fade-age I used the Red Intense series so I'm pretty confident she'll stay pretty true between services)

I think next time I will use a different hue from the Red Intense series and maybe just a few peek-a-boo highlights through the front and bangs but I can't wait to see over time how all the awesome red low lights come together for shimmering red calico!

I also like that because she's growing her hair long the Keune Semi will keep her hair as shiny as healthy as possible. I think the heavy/chunky red highlight is much more interesting choice for red because going all-over is such a commitment to upkeep, even in Semi. But since it's got her own natural color all intermingled in there, she can go longer between services.. and seeing as she's got a busy life with family, too much upkeep is just not manageable.

Yaaay for fun solutions and yaaay for smoking hot Red Hair!!

Enjoy the day everyone!

Strawberry Dream Hair

Grown out all-over color (grown out about 4 months, so a little tricky) transformed last Thursday night with highlights, lowlights and a hint of gold for a touch of strawberry blonde for this natural red-head gone a little grey. 

Because of her schedule I went with a foil vs. touching up the all over color because the grow out between visits will be much softer for her than a harsh line that's difficult as far as upkeep. So part of it was a lifestyle decision factoring in but I couldn't have been more happy with the result!

Peace and Love all...

Red Hot Hair

Seems like I have a lot of blonde clients so I wanted to shake up the blog a bit and put up at least ONE photo of a red-head I’ve done! Granted this was a while ago while I was working at Habitude and this particular photo was done using Aveda color.

Many Shades of Red

These are some Reds I did while working at Habitude with Aveda color. One of the challenges with Red is keeping the vibrancy. I had this idea to layer all these different tonalities of violet and copper  (RV and RO in avedaspeak) rather than just using true Red (RR also in avedaspeak). I always liked the overall effect this gave us. After the initial color was done I would ad highlights just to further inhance the multi-dimensional quality of the color.

One of the things I love so much about Reds and Redheads is how amazingly variable the color is and how much room there is to play with the various shades on the Red spectrum. The end results are wonderfully rich and complex and I never get tired of trying new combinations. Even adding some dark brown lowlights to the mix can give the whole thing more wow-factor. Such a fun shade!
... any volunteers??


ciao fer now!
