Oh Joy Begin

Blondes are tough 👊🏼 But I think that’s why they are a favorite ♥️ Nothing is more satisfying than refining a “lived in” blonde. ◾️While this guest practices proper home maintenance, the summer sun ☀️ and gorgeous weather 😎 (yes even the humidity) does a number on ALL our hairs. ◾️We used the ☀️ to our advantage and simply refined the beautiful tonal value we were already getting.

Always a great Monday catching up with the awesome staff at @scizzorshairsalon and expanding our foiling knowledge. 👏🏼 🔑 @goldwellus #iamgoldwell (at Scizzors) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1W1XoVJRcb/?igshid=16drl7j389gkv

Color Melt 〰️ Service to freshen up this guests tonality with some personality 🤩 ◾️Maintenance is crucial 🎯 in keeping the hair healthy and keeping your color journey enjoyable. It’s not about us as hairdressers trying to get you in for “another service”, or have you spend “more money”. It’s taking care of your hair NOW to avoid big projects LATER. ◾️Think about it this way. You get your oil changed in your car because it’s recommended to keep your car running smoothly. When that light goes on, have you ever said “Eh, I’m just going to let that one go for another 3 months”. If you have, let me know how that worked out for you. Anyway, we are that 🔴 red 🔴 check engine light. We know when your hair is due for its next service appointment. Don’t neglect! . . @GoldwellUS @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #ctsalon #thdmastermind #mmefam #ctbalayage #ctsalon #cthair (at The Hair Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SaNxKpCdK/?igshid=1a2mdlrozx4pi

Blonder is BETTER 💁🏼‍♀️ Foilayage for MAX brightness but keep it blendy. Layered toning technique that @iamginabianca taught us in #mastermind 🤓 Do you guys want to see a collage of this guests evolution of hair color?!? . . @GoldwellUS @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #ctsalon #thdmastermind #mmefam #ctbalayage #ctsalon #cthair (at The Hair Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PjZaEgEpK/?igshid=ns4vo9g7ol4e

Embracing the G R E Y and adding some wisdom highlights too 🧙🏼‍♂️ LOTS of foils➕MAX saturation➕Time Most importantly, VIRGIN HAIR. This guest was 100 natural color with natural grey/white already present (heavy in some areas more than other). She came in and said, I want more 👉🏼👵🏼 and pointed to her grey. SAY NO MORE. In true Batman style I busted out my Bondpro➕ to save the day and got to work. Total service time: 4.25 hrs . . . @GoldwellUS @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #ctsalon #thdmastermind #mmefam #ctbalayage #ctsalon #cthair (at The Hair Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NQnk9p7_o/?igshid=3ivn0l00596j

Purple haze all a r o u n d 🔮 Foilayage➕ColorMelt➕Pure Pigments It’s been a goal for quite some time to get some kind of iridescence in this guests hair. While it took a while and were still not quite there, it’s been a hell of a journey. And can we talk about that shine??? 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 . . . @GoldwellUS @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #ctsalon #thdmastermind #mmefam #ctbalayage #ctsalon #cthair (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B07B1mAp8wN/?igshid=b19gnu4axjnc

Balayage ain’t only for blondes 👌🏼😎 And it wasn’t easy getting all this beautiful hair in the frame 📷 Such a treat when 😮 virgin hair 😮 sits in your chair. Especially when they want to enhance those natural warm undertones. Girl, I got you. 💯 . . . @GoldwellUS @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #ctsalon #thdmastermind #theblonderesistance (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WUou5pKCz/?igshid=1bpmh6312xuiv

My Fair Lady 👸🏼 ⭐️Customized⭐️ Micro-weaved foil finished with a Color Melt. This guest is naturally a dark blonde, meaning her depth is 💯 natural.

Touched by the ☀️ Anytime I get a new client in for balayage I always like to start with a face frame, unless they can give me a hair history from their previous stylist, and even still, that face frame is like my trial run. I can see what your hair is capable of. How it lifts. How it will hold color, etc. This beautiful babe came in with some slight banding, lots of warmth, and our overall desired look is more natural and much less red. Instead of starting a complete corrective service, we cancelled out what we could of the red, evening out some banding, then face framed to see what’s underneath. Love the tones we achieved! @goldwellus @cosmoprofbeauty @beautylaunchpad @modernsalon #licensedtocreate #hairoftheday #cthair #Thdmastermind #emoneydidit (at The Hair Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/By5JaLEpBw3/?igshid=zvk76jizbhyj

“Summer's here to stay and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever...” 🎶 Name that tune 🎶 This blonde goddess had a Demi perm shadow root over the winter. But we always find our way back to our ice roots. This isn’t perfection (yet), we know, but it’s still cool AF. Sometimes you just have to roll with the process and that’s ok too! 👌🏼🤗 . . . @goldwellUS #purepigments @modernsalon @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate #handcrafted (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2T3n6pHZJ/?igshid=j7jena5ummmd

Weekend well spent 👌🏼🙌🏼💯 . While I’m sure most will just keep scrolling assuming this is another “hair post” and that’s fine, here’s what my life is really like, contrary to what most people think 🤔 I left my house yesterday AM to support model prep for the Goldwell/KMS On Tour program. For those of you that don’t know the industry and are still reading, it’s like buying a festival ticket to your fav jam bands. There’s SO much that goes into planning and prepping for something like this. Just the travel kit alone for a shit ton of models to get their heads colored, maybe cut and styled. 😝 So today I attended the actual program as a regular colorist. I took my educator hat off and put my hairdresser hat on. #iwearmanyhats It was a long two days, away from my family, the sacrifice is real. But I’m lucky to have a great support system and to continue to do what I love on so many different levels. 🙌🏼 . . . @goldwellUS @kmshairUS #goldwellkmsontour2019 (at Foxwoods Resort Casino) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqwQzUpST3/?igshid=1lm347mpy1rc9

🎶 Can I 🎶 G R A D U A T E 👩🏼‍🎓 . . Going on 10 years (probably longer) that I’ve known this lovely lady. She was (I think) 7-8 the first time I met her. Now she’s watches my kid sometimes 😂 funny how that works . . . Her hair is naturally highlighted (😏 I know right) so she legit gets it done maybe 3 times a year. #12series from @goldwellus all day long on this canvas. Gives me a controlled lift 💯 . . . @cosmoprofbeauty #licensedtocreate @modernsalon @thehairnerds #handcrafted #cthair #ctbalayage #thdmastermind (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVy8r5A6Wz/?igshid=wc3eajwiw2c0

🖐🏼 ALL HANDS ON DECK 👊🏼 . . . Spent the morning with @salon1026stamford putting in WERK on our lovely #balayage model. . . . We wanted 👊🏼 MAX lift so we let our beautiful hand painted pieces process in foil. . . . The teamwork here was SO on point. This model had 4 different artists working on her at any given moment. 9 people total including myself. Our consistent sectioning and communication gave us a beautiful end result. 🤩 . . . Melted with variants of colorance and @ pure pigments to 🤝 seal the deal 🤝 . . . @goldwellus #educationiskey #neverstoplearning #licensedtocreate @thehairnerds #handcrafted #cthair #ctbalayage (at Salon 1026 Stamford) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2c761hX3a/?igshid=1goumihurg1g7
