My client Neha had never done any color before . She
came in asking for current trends in Colors. While
consulting, I came across that she had a soft corner for
Highlights.Based on Trends,I recommended her Balayage
Technique and its effect along with a few pictures of my
work . She got convinced and reccomended me to work
on something Sutble. She has a slight Dusk Complexion. I
recommended her on 2 process coloring, 1 by Lifting the
color , 2 – giving her a soft yet sheer Brown tone from
Illumina Color. Neha agreed to the same.

Carol came in looking for a change. I wanted to work on
something close to the S/S 2016 Ecaille Collection.
During my consultation/diagnosis, I shared Pictures
from the Ecaille Collection with Carol by explaining her
the free hand painting that would give a multi tonal
copper bronze look. Suggested her Tones from Copper
Gold as a finishing look. Carol positively heard to what I
was saying, I also told her, I would not be reducing her
length much but would work in the internal structure of
her hair. Carol agreed to the same and we started off.

Defined the natural parting by creating a triangle section

layers around the Triangle to remove weight from the
internal structure. Connected the top section with the

scissors. Overall the cut was done on dry hair and
before the coloring stage. Finished by using a Feather

Look
