New Hair Color -- Desert Sunset Balayage

I’m back with new hair color! The inspiration was a mashup between “galaxy” hair (purple, pink, teal, blue, like this one) and “sunset” hair (pink purple, orange, like I originally had here) with more contrast and less blending compared to my past iterations (as inspired by this reference photo). Teal has always been a favorite color for me, and while I love the way “galaxy” hair color looks, I’m still not sold on it for me because it uses a lot of cooler-toned shades. I thought this would be a nice way to incorporate some blue/teal without the full commitment. I really loved how it turned out!

I had my hair done by Lauren Krech (at The Waverly Salon), as usual, and I split the appointment across two days like I did last time. The first appointment was raising up my balayage and removing the previous color, and the second appointment was all color! It went faster than the last two visits; it took about seven hours in total (across the two days) with just under four hours on color. Lauren used five different colors on me: Joico Hot Pink with Red and Clear, Joico Pink, Joico Orchid, Joico Mermaid Blue with Cobalt Blue, and Pulpriot Neon Orange and Joico Fiery Coral.

P.S. — I paid for my services in full!
