Now is the perfect time to transition single process guests to something new and exciting for fall/winter. Dominique DeFrancesco, colorist from De La Mer Salon in Bellmore, NY offers a quick and easy technique to upgrade services that refreshes color for the season, creates an entirely different look, and entices guests to try highlights for the first time – all depending on how the technique is customized per guest.
“I took this guest from a level 6 to a beautiful cool brown with a quick coloring technique; coloring from the interior, combining hair painting for face framing accents and a zigzag section from the interior to give her a simple pop of color," says DeFancesco. "The result is the perfect combination of a beautiful brown with an ‘autumn splendor’ highlight."
