A Successful Hair Color Makeover Correction – from Red Orange to a Beautiful Natural Brown
Model: Bobbi Jo Valdez – Physical Therapy Tech
by Marg Navratil (America Board Certified Hair Colorist, Salon Owner, Makeup Photographer)
I met Bobbi Jo Valdez, Physical Therapy Tech during a 6-week Physical Therapy assignment for sciatica. During my first session I immediately noticed how her red complexion looked with her red orange hair color. I asked if she was happy about her hair color and the answer was a definite no.
I invited Bobbi Jo Valdez to make an appointment at my hair salon, A Gallery Salon, Santa Fe, NM, for a hair color correction makeover. She smiled and immediately agreed to schedule an appointment and soon started the first session. Bobbi Jo subsequently followed up with a 2nd & 3rd session to have low lights and conditioning. The final result was stunning!
Although her hair color correction makeover was a huge success it will be an ongoing procedure until her hair is totally grown out from her past color situation. Our goal was to move Bobbi Jo from her present red orange hair color toward her natural level hair color with several brown colors highlighted in the hair when finished.
Hair Condition: Porosity of 4+.
Color: Very Golden Red color with many lowlights to camouflage the wrong color.
Natural Level of Hair was 2 – 3.
