Hair by Amber at Fantastic Sams

A fun before and after transformation today. What do you think??

Super natural sun kissed balayage highlights.

Before and after of a color correction. She had tried to get an ombre and came in with what was on the left. I brought the brown down a lot more, blended it, and brightened the blonde.

This gorgeous mama came in the other day to go a little darker and shorter! Such a fun change. Love the rich dark chocolate and fun aline.

Gorgeous rooty blended blonde. 😍 I just love these super blended colors that are in right now. This lady was 76!!! You would never guess it looking at her hair.

Did a root retouch and added some subtle caramel balayaged highlights to this gorgeous girls hair. I love how natural and subtle it is. It brightens her up a bit for summer. Had so much fun catching up 😘

Finished taking this gorgeous girl to blonde from really dark yesterday. We started with the dark, the first process got her to the bottom left picture, and then the second process is the one on the right. You have to be patient going back to blonde from dark but it's worth the wait! 😍

Huge transformation on this pretty girl. She came in with red box dye she had done herself. The roots were splotchy and much brighter than the ends. She wanted to be a darker grey with silver balayaged in 😳 it was a long process but the end result turned out so good! We lightened her whole head to get the red out. Then I went back through and darkened her roots with a 6/1, 6/08, and /88 blayaged in more blonde to get it light enough for silver and covered any hair left out with the root mixture. After letting that process I toned her lighter pieces in the shampoo bowl with 10/08, 9/8, and a little /8.

Freshened up this girls color last night. I brought up the blonde with some balayage and broke the base with a level 5 ash. We also added just a few foils of purple in between for a fun hidden pop of color that you can see just barely peeking through when straight and it really pops when curled. So much better!!

This gorgeous girl has been coloring her hair really dark with red undertones for a long time....the worst combination to try and get out. When you lighten dark hair it turns red/orange and when you have red color also under the dark it can turn pink when trying to lighten it. 😁 she wanted to go blonde which is long process! I'm so happy with how this turned out but it took a good 4 hours.

I first lightened her all over with 30 vol, leaving out her regrowth, and let that process for 40 min. Then I washed and dried before doing a weave using two different volumes. 20 vol for roots to mids, and 30 vol on her still dark red ends. After weaving I put a mixture of 6 and 6/1 on all the hair left out. Phew! So just remember going blonde is a long process after being so dark and you must be patient! 😘

Of course I forgot a before picture. She started out with a grown out blonde weave. I put in a lot more brown with a smudged root to match her natural and for easy grow out. Then did some gorgeous baby highlights balayaged through her hair. 😍 I love how soft and subtle it turned out.

Super fun change for this girl on Saturday. She came in with a grown out partial weave and dark peekaboo. She wanted red but her husband wanted her to stay blonde so we compromised with this gorgeous red brown root into a really pretty high blended ombré and got rid of the dark peekaboo. I used tigi 6/46 at the base and bayalage the rest with lightener.
