Your client is ready for a classy fall makeover, but still wants something bold, sexy and eye-catching. Here’s your solution—a soft, metallic lilac that is sure to turn heads. So how do you do it? San Francisco-based stylist Kacie Nguyen (@hairbykacie1) has the answer. Here’s how Kacie achieves gorgeous purple perfection using Guy Tang Metallics.
Natural/Starting Level: Kacie's client is a natural Level 2, but Kacie has lifted her to a Level 10 and she returns every eight to 12 weeks for a touchup. Before this process, she had two inches of regrowth.
Pricing: Kacie’s global bleach touchup starts at $300, and a creative color add-on starts at $100. This color would have been $450.
Total process time: 3.5 hours
