PIVOT Beauty a SALON

Soft dimension, without loud bold noise is honestly 100% my favorite hair trend right now. I truly think that in this season, a beautifully blended color gives a high impact rich look. I literally gave her a money piece, touched up solid outgrowth and let her own highlights show through the top. Also, I was able to do her money piece WITH OUT using bleach! We're told over and over that color doesn't lift color. Thank goodness I'm a rule breaker. - She is afraid that bleach would break her hair. I asked if I could experiment with a high lift color, admitting that I wasn't sure if I would be able to get the lift I wanted. In the end, I got the lift I wanted AND we did not have to tone it! That's a win/win in my book. (Secretly this was the result I was praying for) Honestly, you don't need to go nuts with highlights and a ton of foils to get a soft dimensional look.

With this color in particular, we are covering gray as well, but I used a demi instead of a permanent. This may not promise full coverage, but it keeps the end result from getting too warm. Permanent color lifts and then deposits and will always create un-wanted warmth. (Sometimes we want warmth, just not in this case) Using a demi instead of permanent also helps that when her hair grows, there is not a harsh line of demarcation, and as she washes, the demi will fade out, and her gray will act as added dimension.

Oh, annnnnd, let's not forget about that blowout!!

Let's do some subtle fall color. More subtle means waiting longer between appointments. I'd say that's another win/win! 🏆

For all my bob girlies 🤌

I had so much fun talking to this new client - She came in wanting more chunky dimension. She felt like she was all one tone. We achieved chunkier, more dimension in one appointment, but let me tell you, it made me sweat 🤣. During the consultation I asked about previous color, and upon inspecting her hair, it looked like the dark was pretty even. Hair can trick you once you put bleach on it though! When I checked the 1st foil, it was the most banded uneven lift I've ever seen. I had to reapply bleach in some ereas and wipe it off in others. I did this process over and over in each foil. I Trusted the process and kept rechecking foils for even, healthy lift. The end turned out good, however not exactly what we were truly going for. (We can save that for next appointment) Sometimes unexpected results happen to all hairstylists. I'm thankful for years of experience to help me pull off great hair in a surprise situation. This post is to all hairstylist out there, bc we've all been there 🫶

There’s nothing I love more than the perfect blend & a great blowout 🤌

Mostly solid brunette, turned soft & dimensional. I removed application after application of dark color. It’s more work than just throwing in highlights and toner.

Dark hair has many different zones, and lifting color out has to be done keeping each zone in mind for an even end result like this.
