Marilyn Monroe once said that becoming a blonde changed her life and made her a star. The same could be said of platinum colored mega stars like Madonna and Lady Gaga. Blonde color is youthful, fun and sexy. A lot of us go for blonde at least once…why not? The perfect blonde is like red lipstick….it is choosing the right shade that makes it work.
At The A LIST, we love the process of creating the most flattering color for our clients. Are you wearing the same shade of blonde that you wore 20 years ago? Have you had so many highlights that you forgot what color you are? Let’s take it back to basics and rediscover your sexy.
Being blonde is a journey. Let’s take it together.
However, there are key points to keep in mind before you go from dark to blonde. I would like to share this important information for every woman who is considering a hair color change…we are dealing with chemicals. Chemicals in every profession have their challenges. When you are going from dark to lighter, there is a chemical process that must happen to change the color. As the process occurs, the darker hair is lightened first to a reddish orange, then to an orange gold, then a golden yellow, and finally the desired “level” of blonde is reached but not always the desired “tone”. Often the color has to be toned to achieve the beautiful end result. We are in an instant gratification society. Ladies come in to the salon with black or brown hair and expect to leave the salon the same day with perfectly platinum or buttery blonde. Often it works like that but in many cases it takes a few processes to achieve perfection. Allow the process. Be aware of this. Never go in for a complete color change the day of an important event. Allow a few days for any adjustments that may be needed. Color means chemicals. Communicate with your stylist on what you are looking for. Bring pictures. Take the journey together.
