1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works
One of my clients came in with a picture of this stunning color melt look, and I was immediately drawn to the way the darker base created a beautiful contrast with her sun-kissed ends.
I worked with her to create a custom color formula that would achieve this look, and the result was nothing short of magic.
The color melt is all about creating a sense of depth and dimension in the hair, and it’s a technique that I’m absolutely obsessed with.
When it comes to the color melt, it’s all about balance.
You want to create a striking contrast between the darker base and the lighter ends, but you also want to make sure that the overall look feels cohesive and beautiful.
It’s a delicate balance, but one that’s totally worth it in the end.
