When Marcy McDonald, designer stylist at Tangles Salon in Wichita Falls, TX (www.tangles.com) had a client ask for a more vibrant, healthier hairstyle, she immediately thought Chocolate Cabernet - rich silky ribbons of brunette with a high-gloss cabernet shine. It's the perfect way to make a big change with an exciting new shape and color.
“When my client Melissa came into the salon, she had not had her hair colored in 3 months," says McDonald. "She explained that she wanted to go shorter and darker without sacrificing brightness and the health of her hair.”
