Feeling creative

As I posted before about the latest fall looks in style for this year, I had even more inspiration from my friends and clients! They give me the freedom to express my creativity freely and I am forever greatful! 

This gorgeous fall inspired ombré worked perfectly for Maria, we we also took her from long locks to a fresher, more updated below the shoulders cut with whisper sexy layers! 

For Laura, we created a lighter, more honey shade of ombré highlights over her natural shade. We finished the look with a sassy lob cut and some loose curls with the help of my GHD flat iron. 

I have a true love for updos! Valerie allowed me to transform her hair from a dark, reddish brown to a more vibrant shade for a fun new look. After the color, we played with a retro inspired headband that inspired me to give her an updo just for fun! I love this look! 

Jamie has had a level 4 dark reddish brown for a while now and was looking to spice it up a bit. I began with a color remover to lighten her tresses then applied a more vibrant shade of red accompanied by some panels of blonde. 

This isen't a color you get to do often! I made Jenna's strawberry blonde hair a little more funky by removing the color then applying Pravana yellow. It's a fun, unique look that is perfect for the client that's not afraid to be a little different!

When I think of fall, thoughts of leaves changing, chilly weather, comfy sweaters, and pumpkin spice come to mind. Also, this is a time many clients thing about making a change to their hair. If they went ombré for the summer, they are ready for richer, warmer tones. Those who went darker, are looking for more dimension with different tones like toffee, caramel, or even mocha. They may sound like favors to you, but in the mind of a hairstylist all I see are swirls of rich tones and inspiration.

As I browse my Pinterest board for inspiration I found so many beautiful inspiring images I want to share with you! These are some of my personal favorites. 

In this photo, I love the two tone look of her rich chocolate brown.

 

What looks cuter with a blazer or sweater than a sophisticated up do? I am loving her smokey eye in this photo as well. Perfect for a date night or any special occasion. 

Bangs are making a full comeback! I'm not just saying that because I recently cut some bangs on my shoulder length hair. They are a fun way to update any length of hair.

Sock bun, ballerina bun, donut, call it what you like but this look screams sophistication. It's a classic that will never fade away. With so many forms and tools to make it easier to create yourself at home, this look is a must for the fall.
