Back to Blonde!

Back to Blonde Highbrow Hippie Julia Roberts Kadi Lee

Back to BLONDE for the prettiest lady, Julia Roberts (with my favorite guy Serge Normant).

When making drastic color changes, in this case from red to blonde, my approach is always the same- slow and methodical, while always keeping the health and integrity of the hair first and foremost.

"Really visualize your end result, and slowly and deliberately paint your way there."

 


 I recently came across a caption from 7 years ago, when I did a similar change for Julia (thx Facebook memories lol) and the consistency made me smile. It read as follows…

“Drastic color changes can be quite stressful for a colorist, but over the years I’ve developed a calm and methodical approach that (eventually) gives me the natural and realistic result I need, while keeping the hair strong and healthy (the most important part!). Biggest tip- go gently, in multiple sessions. Do not be pressured by drastic and unrealistic before and after pictures on Instagram. Those photos don’t depict the dozens of hours of work, and they are often heavily edited. In real life, things take time. Really visualize your end result, and slowly and deliberately paint your way there.”

Thank you Julia Roberts for your years of trust! That head of hair is the best canvas, you’re the ultimate muse, and I’m so lucky to be a part of your team.
