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.

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

laura

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.

So the reason why I decided to cut it all off? Well it has been a little over a year since she has mentioned several times to cut it off, so that tells me she has been “emotionally ready” and has probably been imagining herself with short cuts for a while. And also, it was for her 23rd bday!
I personally think it totally suits her.. a great way to start all over..and can help define your personal identity

Redheads

For those who are a natural redhead…jealous! And for those who aren’t… we fake the funk.

I’ve recently got AshleyDimes hooked on being a Redhead.  She frequents at Salon Sessions with me for the works. It takes some effort to keep your color poppin!   She is a Co-owner of DimePiece, recently graduated with her B.A. (congratulations!!!) and part of our new project. We will keep you posted for sure! In the mean time, check them out! DIMEPIECE DESIGNS
Reds fade sooo fast!  Here are some tips to keeping your color vibrant before your next appointment:
1. Please use a color protect shampoo/conditioner! A gentle and safe to use everyday is Redken Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner.
2. Do a cool to cold rinse after conditioner. This helps give hair a natural shine and seal color.
3. In between your next color appointment, come in for a quick color gloss. This will add a pop of your color and give your hair a nice shine before the full works.
4. Also, please use a heat protectant on your hair before blowdrying, using a flat iron, or curling iron. My favorite is Kerastase Nectar Thermique for dry hair or Kerastase Ciment Thermique for sensitive, overly processed hair. They are both leave in. Can be a little pricey but so worth it!! Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide, works well too and a little more affordable 
It’s the little things you do, that really can help
