Samantha is a new guest at our salon company but a returning guest to one of our newest stylists, Cameron Frizell. When Samantha came in, her hair color was a medium brown natural level with existing balayage throughout the ends. The ends were a very warm tone and Samantha wanted to go for an icy, silver look throughout her ends. The first step in getting Samantha to her desired color was to do a full balayage application. Redken’s FlashLift with pH Bonder inside was chosen for the lifting agent to maintain the integrity of Samantha’s hair. After lifting her to the perfect lightness, Cameron mixed four different toners to achieve the icy silver color. After Cameron trimmed Samantha’s hair, she first applied Redken’s Anti Snap on damp hair and followed with Pureology’s Smooth Perfection Smoothing Serum. Cameron then blow dried Samantha’s hair and added some bouncy curls. Pureology’s Hydrate Shine Max was the final product chosen to add shine and definition.
