i'm glad i ventured in here today - you ladies reminded me to email my stylist! i've actually never had my hair professionally colored, but i've decided to make a change and try ombre highlights (which seems to be a big fashion craze right now). some examples (NSFW tags for size):

Yep Fawkes, lovin' those highlights examples! That would look so lovely <3

TINK I would also recommend getting a straightener!! I couldn't live without mine! Seriously.
 
yeah I have a straight iron along with various high quality products... if you had my hair you would understand.


Anyways... got an A-cut chopped about 3 inches in the front and about 5 inches in the back. Thinned the hell out of it. In the end the pile of hair was about the size of a small rabbit.

I got my camera out and dead batteries :(
 
I feel sassy lol

i swear i must have lost 20 pounds of hair. my hair dresser still is in awe of how much she can cut and still leave me with tons of hair.

That sounds brilliant TINK!! Go you! I bet it feels weird, like your head is heaps lighter, almost floating :)
Can't wait to see pics!


Amor I LOVE that green!! <3
 
I regret not having it cut before my interview last week. Still on pins and needles over that thing.

I will put photos on fb tomorrow :)

I like the highlights a lot too. :)

I applied one of my Zoya polishes today. My toes look like a neat-o green matte. I'm a fan of matte and decided against the glossy top coat for now. :)

That look perfect for you. Your natural virgin colour is going to make a beautiful rich base. I can't wait to see it.
Do you have have referrals for a master colourist in your area or someone really fricking good at colour?
 
I would love to have a master colourist I can barely find someone who knows how to cut my hair let alone color naturally red hair

i have a guy i normally go to get my hair cut and he does color, too. he and his salon actually do some of the models' hair for Scottsdale Fashion Week. i also know a girl that, before she moved away, had her hair colored by him - which was the reason i started going to him in the first place.

still, i'm a little iffy for some reason to let him do the ombre highlights. i sent him the pictures and he called it "the grown out look" (i don't know i guess i don't feel reassured that he didn't describe it the way the fashion mags are as "ombre"). he's also a little edgier and while the ombre highlights are not exactly natural, i don't want it too crazy or obvious.

i did find a tutorial... which makes it seem easy enough (though i'd want more face framing highlights). what would be a polite way of telling him i want it done like this?

help!
 
I think it is gorgeous if done right...please fly to VA to see my husband ;)

I think there is nothing wrong with showing him what you would like. At least the hairstyles and base colour are similar to what you already have. I used to be drawn to photos of blonde hair models with wavy hair...there is no way I could achieve the same look.


Joannie I had a french manicure in Vegas 2 days before our wedding. For some retarded reason I said agreed to a sparkle layer. After I left, I felt like a candyland hooker. I gave it a day as I was going to go back and have her re-do them. I said fuck it and removed the polish on our honeymoon. The tackiness of the nails did not show up in photos ;)
 
^ come to Scottsdale so i can use your husband's hair skillz!

so i Googled "master colorist" in my area and found a salon. 5 stars and 67 reviews. this Saturday at 2:30 PM MST, it shall be done. :D i'm giddy.


EDIT: i should add that when i called and said "ombre" the girl knew exactly what i was talking about.
