My Work: A Beautiful Ombre

Kristen came in with previously highlighted hair and a natural very warm level 6.5.
She brought in all my Pinterest favs with tons of vibrant cool blond ends.
We discussed our options, balyage highlights vs. what I call an ‘at the bowl ombre’. Because She wanted the ends to be majority light instead of just pieces of blonde we opted for the bowl ombre. I told her I would do my best achieving her desired outcome and we were off.

I emulsified Loreal Professionals Infinie Platine mixed with 40 vol developer stragically from the ends up. Working up her hair shaft gradually.
I blow dried her hair and decided to go lighter.
I evaluated the health of her hair and decided for one more round of Loreal Professionals Infinie Platine mixed with 40 vol developer.
I toned/sealed with Redken Shades Crystal Clear and a touch of 9V.

I cut some long layers and curled with a 1″ Curling Iron.

Young Living: Lavender Towels

by Leave a Comment

Shavasana is perhaps the most important part of yoga practice. Lying on the back, the arms and legs are spread at about 45 degrees, the eyes are closed and the breath deep. The whole body is relaxed onto the floor with an awareness of the chest and abdomen rising and falling with each breath.

I’m getting back into yoga again and all of my muscle memory is returning through each practice. Shavasana has always been my favorite part of class. I just started taking at a studio where the teacher gently places a towel with the aroma of lavender over my eyes. It is the most relaxing 2 minutes of my day.

I’ve decided to bring this into the salon. Meshing my two favorite things together; a relaxing shampoo and a little lavender towel.

Look forward to this at your next service.

 

How to:
I folded 8 freshly washed towels into a plastic box. On each towel I put one drop of Young Living Lavender Oil. I put the lid on tight and the towels soaked it in.
