Statement Red, Plum & Pink Hair Colors
If your hair feels like it is blending into the background, these shades are the fix. I specialize in vibrant reds, deep plums, and playful pinks that actually turn heads.
This is a vibrant and fiery red-magenta look. I used a balayage technique to blend the bold color from a natural dark root, creating a statement look that is still soft and dimensional.
For a more subtle take on bold color, I added these beautiful burgundy and plum highlights. They are blended seamlessly and give a gorgeous, wine-colored tint when the light hits just right.

"Blended yummy perfection" is right. This is a beautiful example of a deep red-brown balayage, creating a rich, cherry-cola effect that is both bold and sophisticated.

This long, wavy hair features a beautiful blend of brown, caramel, and subtle rose-gold tones. The pinkish hues add a unique warmth and a touch of modern romance to the look.
A rich, all-over mahogany red color. This shade is a great way to be bold while still staying in the realm of natural tones. It's vibrant, glossy, and full of life.

This medium-length cut features a vibrant magenta and pink balayage. The color is bright and cheerful, creating a look that is sure to turn heads.
About Statement Shades: Reds, Plums & Pinks
Fashion shades like pink, plum, and red look great, but they require a clean, pre-lightened base to truly pop. Because these pigments sit on the hair surface, they will fade faster than natural tones. I always use professional bonding treatments to keep your hair strong during the process, so you get the look without compromising hair health.
How We Get There
I don't just apply color, I paint it. Whether you want a deep, sophisticated wine-red or an electric magenta, the key is the prep. Achieving these vibrant shades almost always involves a double-process. First, we lighten your hair to a specific level to get that clean canvas ready. Then, we deposit the high-intensity pigment to achieve the final shade.
Natural vs. Vivid
If you aren't ready for neon pink, we can do a 'balayage red.' It's low maintenance and gives you that cherry-cola vibe that catches the light. This is perfect for the office or those who want a change without the maintenance of a full-head neon color.
Maintenance Matters
Fashion colors need care. You will need a sulfate-free shampoo and cold water rinses to keep the color from washing out. I’ll walk you through a specific maintenance plan before you leave the chair. Bring me your inspiration photos—I’ll tell you exactly what is achievable on your hair, how long the session will take, and what to expect during the grow-out phase.
