"Anyone looking to add some brightness while maintaining dimension," Kelley explains.
How long does this look take and how is it priced?
The total appointment time (including styling) takes about four and a half hours and costs $550.
What is the maintenance schedule of this look?
Since the look is dimensional, Kelley's client can choose when to come back for a highlight refresh. But, she does recommend coming back every 8 to 10 weeks for a toning service.
