Lauren was tired of the upkeep her straightened, lightened hairstyle required. She wanted low-maintenance long hair — a look that featured her length, and focused on botanics to keep her naturally-silky locks looking & feeling their best. Daniel enriched her natural color with a golden-auburn overlay, which also added tons of shine. He added subtle layers for contour and movement.

When this young lady came to us asking for a splash of blue (her favorite color), how could we refuse? As hairdressers and home dyers know, true blue is a notoriously difficult hair color to create (and maintain). Uneven pigmentation and unwanted greenish tints are common concerns — both best remedied by making sure hair is in perfect condition to start with before attempting blue hair color streaks (or any bold colors, for that matter). If you’re not blessed with, literally, the hair you were born with, an overlay will seal every strand in a protective, corrective coating.

While Nicole’s natural tousle of curly brown waves was gorgeous, she didn’t feel particularly connected to her style. She wanted a look that better expressed her fun, edgy personality. Daniel cut bold, bright bangs across her brow, highlighting her eyes. He deepened her color, and framed her face with dramatic swaths of oxblood/burgundy. Then he softened everything gently with a brunette overlay, filtered further with Natural Glisten. By layering effects, Daniel creates radiant, multi-faceted color. Might be hard to see in this photograph, but Nicole’s hair makes her peaches-n-cream complexion POP!

Celia wanted more “oomph” in her blondish locks, something to warm up her complexion in the middle of a particularly frigid January in Philly. Of course, we went with red — but not just any red. Daniel chose a coppery-cinnamon overlay that deepened her overall color, especially the highlights she’d been growing out for months (this variation is particularly apparent in the ends of her hair in the After photo). He then followed with Natural Glisten that blended her varied hues, rather like a camera lens in “soft focus.” And look at that shine! It’s almost like she’s wearing a halo. Recommended products: Of course Rene Furterer’s entire Okara line is in order, here. In addition, Celia’s baby-fine locks could use some volume & control: Rene Furterer’s VOLUMEA foam adds structure and natural, flexible...
