DIMEPIECE LOOKBOOK 2010

This is what we did ALL friday! worked with the ladies of DimePiece really good friends of mine, for their 2010 look book, I have worked with them in their last few look books and the shoots only get better! I cant wait for you guys to be able to see the photos!
Harajuku ready!
Just a couple weeks ago, I took my number 1 hair model, Laura from Dime Piece, back to brunette for the Metro Pop Magazine Shoot. Check out that post HERE
Now, I took her lighter. Ready for Japan with Joy Rich this week!
A timed and fast pace process.


I decolorized her whole head.
Foiling the top part, where her hair is the longest, to make sure the application was even.
You need to keep an eye on the process, seeing what color is coming up.
When we reached a desired color, I toned her a couple shades darker.

In Space
Metro Pop Magazine shoot was a long day but once I see the photos I know it will be all worth it, Sarah McColgan shot the whole thing and Miriam Sternoff styled the shoot. They shot some high fashion shots and also shot everyone wearing a space helmet. For more space photos click here

Laura and Ashley from DimePiece
Cut & Color – Metro Pop Magazine
The girls from Dime Piece Designs were in a shoot for Metro Pop Magazine. It was time for Laura’s touch up and frequent visit at my second home, Salon Sessions in Pasadena.
Still keeping her hair short and cute.
We’re staying away from going lighter… for now.
So i deepend her faded auburn with a deep violet.
Added a couple highlits in the front to break the solidness of the overall hair color. The highlights were very fine, not too chunky just to blend in. I love the result of it! Looks like a hint of purple and blue

Hilites for a quick change

Adding some highlights can brighten up some features in your face. Adding all over hilites can change your whole look.
Laura wanted to go blonde again.
I decided to just do all over hilites, compared to bleach out the whole thing. Adding hilites can preserve some of your hair’s health. Also, when wanting a good change, be prepared to be in the salon for some time. With Laura’s request to go all over blonde again, coming from a dyed – black hair color, you need be in the salon for some time to make sure we get the right color.

Say hello to Laura Dimes


Soooo we finally did it… For a while I have been experimenting with one of my ever evolving- chameleon like client. Mostly with color, and subtly on the cut. Only because she has always had long hair, and for most girls it is a major attachment. And a trim means pretty much “can you just air trim it?” She has mentioned before just to cut it all off but I was super hesitant, I do not want to be the blame that occurs after someone decides to spontaneously go short. It is an emotional rollercoaster.
