A true artist behind the chair, Chereen Monet @yourhairsbestfriend of Fox and Jane Salon @foxandjane in New York City knows to always do you own thing— and she did just that! Her client came to her looking for a bold change and she was inspired by the oh-so-hot galaxy hair she had seen. "I told her I wanted to do my own take on it for curly/afro hair texture," Chereen shared. "That’s when I thought of “Fun-Fetti” hair. I wanted to have jewel tones throughout her hair and make it very bold and attention-grabbing." See how it's done!
Pricing:
Chereen charged $425 for the full-head highlight, the pastel tones and the haircut.
