The Blonde Boss

one of the rarest grey patterns I've seen!
most people start greying at the front and gradually creeps towards the back, but this gorgeous girl was grey all over her head EXCEPT the front where it was so dark!

it made for the most amazing transformation where from the front her hair looked deep, dark and smokey and from the back it was sultry and silvery!

When the hair gods help to deliver a beautiful lift that wasn't expected 🤩

Lifting box dye can be hard
It's unpredictable, it's stubborn and it can often cause more headaches when trying to go light.

Setting expectations is key 🗝️
Most of my clients will know how brutally honest I am.

If the ends of your hair will likely fry off in the process - you bet I'm going to tell you that before we start and prepare you to have a haircut prior or post lift.
Why? Because your hair length might mean more than the colour, and you might decide to keep the length and change the goal instead.

You come with years of box colour and want to go light - you bet that I'm preparing you to walk out with copper hair first appointment
Why? Because not everyone wants to wait or go through a transition phase or even understand how long the process can take, you might decide you don't want to take the risk, wear the warmth or take the time to get to your original goal

You have always had cool colours and tell me how much you hate warmth and then pick a honey blonde - you bet I'm going to tell you that you'll probably hate the outcome.
Why? Because through so many consults we've tweaked your tones to be something you love and away from everything you hate, and now you want me to do the one thing you've always hated? Is it impulse or are you wanting a legitimate change? Let's find out, but I put the warning there.

You want me to push boundaries of what's capable - I'll gladly do it with caution but I'm telling you every single possible outcome that could exist along the way. Why? Because hair is unpredictable and I am human. I cannot always control outcomes as hard as I may try, and I need you to be prepared.

Why do I do this?
Because when you sit in my chair, yes you are paying me for my skills, effort and work, but your investment should be in a process that works for you both short and long term.
Consulting with you and being honest about the process means that you can make informed choices about what it is you really want to do so we can customise it completely for YOU, your lifestyle and your needs ALWAYS

Going blonde isn't always the answer for greying hair

While lightening some parts of the hair - especially around the face - help to blend the greys, it's not ideal for hair that has scattered greys and a predominantly darker base.
All it does is create the opposite result for the rest of the hair with a heavy contrast and brassy results.

When the hair is still mostly dark, scattering soft fine foils that increase towards the front paired with deeper cooler tones help to enhance the overall colour while blending the lighter front grey areas too!
