💬 Sienna’s What-to-Ask-Your-Stylist Script: When transitioning from brown to blonde, I recommend starting with a subtle balayage to avoid any harsh lines. Be sure to communicate with your colorist about your desired level of lightening, and we can work together to achieve the perfect shade.

1. Why This Salon Cut & Color Formula Works

As a master hair colorist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with countless clients looking to transform their look with a balayage.

One of my favorite techniques is the subtle, sun-kissed look that can be achieved by blending brown and blonde hues.

Whether you’re looking to go from brown to blonde or simply add some dimension to your existing color, I’m here to guide you through the process.

One of my clients, Sarah, came to me looking to transition from her dark brown hair to a lighter, more dimensional look.

We started with a subtle balayage, using a combination of 9V and 9G to create a natural-looking gradient.

The result was a gorgeous, multi-dimensional look that added depth and dimension to her existing color.
