Fall 2010- Nature inspired hair coloring techniques

Hair Coloring is an ever changing chameleon... as fashion on the runway changes hair coloring follows.  What I'm drawn to the most these days is reminiscent of the 70's when colors looked very diffused (or soft) and natural.  You didn't see garish or vivid colors of the 60's.. when colors were more solid (think Lucille Ball or Marilyn Monroe or Priscilla Presley), but hair color of the 1970's was more back to nature... like you'd see in a small childs hair color (my most favorite reference is the beautiful god-given hair color of our youth).. maybe the roots are darker and the ends brighter.  Maybe you see natural looking streaks around the only the face.  Gone are the highlights down to the scalp and underneath layers where the sun never shines.  Do I give people what they want if they want that? Yes, absolutely (I still give perms! lol they have their place! :) and though what I personally like definitely affects the type of work I do, my goal in the end is to please the client in my chair.  I stumbled onto a website blog of a color artist with photos that please my eyes... check it out to see what I mean ...
