At the 2025 BTC Show in Dallas, Danger Jones Global Ambassador Tia Lambourn (@tialambourn_hair) drew a packed crowd to her Danger Jones classroom, showcasing her signature, high-impact blonding.
For this vanilla blonde and soft money piece, Tia used a dimensional Mohawk foil technique, tipped out the ends and added sliced face-framing highlights for brightness and movement. The result? A creamy vanilla blonde with a soft, luminous money piece that perfectly blends luxury and lived-in shine.
Tia's blonding class was FULL: Not an open seat in sight!
