Do you love your natural brown hair? However, maybe you crave a fun change. You are definitely not alone. Actually, many clients want a vibrant pop of color. Still, they want to keep their brunette identity. Therefore, we love working with dimensional, fruity tones.

Today, we are spotlighting a stunning pink transformation. Specifically, it perfectly balances a dark base with a sweet edge!

The Crucial First Step: A Prior Consultation

First, this client came in for a color consultation. Importantly, this happened on a completely different day. We did this before mixing any lightener. Truly, this step is absolutely essential.

During our chat, we analyzed her hair history. Next, we checked its structural health. Furthermore, we discussed her exact color goals. She wanted vibrant strawberry tones. However, a Double Process service requires extreme precision. Therefore, having this meeting beforehand was vital. Consequently, we booked the exact right amount of time. Ultimately, this kept her hair safe.

From Basic Brown to Strawberry Sorbet

Specifically, this client started with a solid brown canvas. Nevertheless, she wanted something fresh. First, we completely skipped the bright neons. Also, we avoided washed-out pastels. Instead, we created a custom “Strawberry Sorbet” pink.

Next, we wove these vibrant highlights through her dark base. Consequently, the color looks incredibly rich. Moreover, the sweet pink complements the warm brown hair. Ultimately, it creates a gorgeous, wearable contrast.A back view of a person with long, dark espresso-colored hair that tapers into a natural V-shape at the ends.

Stylist Secret: The Double Process Technique

Some lower sections are wrapped in silver foil to keep them separate, while pink-saturated strands are visible against the dark uncolored hair.

How do we create this custom color? First, it requires a Double Process Creative Color.

Initially, your stylist selects specific sections of hair. Next, we gently lighten only those pieces. This creates a clean blonde canvas. Meanwhile, we leave your natural brunette hair untouched. After that, we apply a bespoke strawberry color. Specifically, we put this pink color directly over the lightened sections.

Ultimately, this technique preserves your hair’s health. Furthermore, the rich brown base makes the pink pop. Therefore, you get maximum impact. Plus, you get a much easier grow-out process!

Are you feeling inspired by this sweet shade? First, a custom Double Process Creative Color starts at €280,- (without a haircut). Alternatively, it is €320,- (with a haircut). Furthermore, we can customize this exact technique. For example, we can use pink, red, or electric blue.
