Blonde by Charlotte

The prayer you send up to the hair gods for a black to blonde 4 hour appointment... "Please don't let me lose my hair, to give her, her hair amen."

Bleach out, root retouch, pre and post toner 👌🏼✨ always lifting with til pale pale yellow before toning with my favorite bleach out toner.
This toner is soooooo white it's translucent when wet and lasts until the next root retouch and doesn't require purple shampoo at home 😍
Simply kept up with salon, high quality shampoo and conditioner and air dried as often as possible❤️

✨ObSeSsEd✨
When you come in every 4 weeks for a bleach out root retouch, use all the right products at home, and air-dry your hair😍 every stylists dream client.
When this client first came to me her hair was very very dark and muddy blonde with lots of breakage. It is now crazy thick and sooooo healthy and bright. Blonde hair for the long haul 🤌🏼

This client was one heck of a late night😴
I can't speak for everyone but this type of foil pattern is my absolute nightmare...
Client came in with babylights from another salon where she had asked for her solid brown hair to be balayaged/ombréd. You can see in her before photo the super fine blonde highlights were very very white and over processed and breaking on the ends but when it mixed with her natural color between it gave her an overall brownish highlighted look, while she was looking for an overall blonde ombre look.
This is a super risky situation and requires an immense amount of patience to pick through each section and seperate the brown babylights and only the brown, any blonde hair that gets picked up WILL break off during the lightening process, as it is already overprocessed.
There is absolutely no way to get EVERY brown hair and this client was warned it won't be perfect in one appointment and her result will be a dirty warm ish blonde and she will have some breakage.
Application took about 3 hours, and after many hours of sitting with 10vol and 15vol we ended up with the first photo and zero breakage. She will need to retone regularly and will likely need a root Shadow again before her next lighten. Unfortunately the toner the previous stylist used warmed up her natural color so we were attempting to cover a lot of warmth at her roots which will unfortunately pop through over a period of time until it grows out.

I LOOOOOOOVE high contrast balayages they are just so satisfying 🥰

This client had gone to a different salon with long grown out roots looking for an ashy white ombre and left with a solid warm blonde and lots of damage. Nothing a full head of blended out lowlights, clear and toner can't fix✨
She left with this beautiful white ashy ombre that we will likely add more lowlights to in the future as the warmth from the color underneath will continue to pop back through until it grows out unfortunately, but she is well on her way to her hair goals💕

We don't stand for discrimination of any kind nor will we ever.💕
