About The Creative Process
It is not just about the final colour—it is the science in between. When you watch me mix a custom Redken formula, you are seeing me calculate the pH balance and porosity of your specific hair strands. Whether I am applying fine-tuned foil work for a seamless balayage or sealing cuticles with a gloss, every step is calculated to prevent damage, not just cover it.
Precision in Every Step
My approach to hair is systematic. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. When you sit in my chair, the first thing I do is analyze your hair's elasticity and porosity to determine the right chemical path.
The Science of My Process
- Custom Formulations: I rely on Redken Shades EQ for a reason. It is an ammonia-free, acidic demi-permanent gloss that doesn't just deposit color; it repairs the hair cuticle. For a standard toning session, I might melt a 07T at the roots for a seamless blend, transitioning into a 09T mix on the lengths to get that multi-dimensional finish.
- Strategic Foil Placement: You will see a lot of diagonal and horizontal sectioning in my work. This isn't random. This placement determines how the color grows out. A horizontal breakdown is key to ensuring that when your hair grows, you don't end up with harsh, noticeable lines.
- The Shampoo Bowl Ritual: The final stage is often where the magic happens. A proper gloss application at the bowl seals the cuticle immediately after lightening. It locks in the moisture and creates that glass-like shine you see in my transformations.
Hair Health First
If your hair has been through a lot—bleaching, heat, or previous chemical services—we don't skip the repair. I integrate bond-building treatments into the color service itself. This ensures that while we are lifting or depositing pigment, we are also reinforcing the disulfide bonds in your hair. You shouldn't have to choose between a bold new look and the integrity of your hair. My goal is for you to walk out with hair that feels better than when you walked in.
