Amanda’s gradual change over several visits.

Regular Amanda decided to visit us  together with her friend Kristi, and asked for a cut and coloring job.

 

The top of her head had become rather dark at the roots, her natural blander hair was slowly but surely claiming but what was theirs. But Amanda didn’t wanna let that happen.

 

So Yoshiko gave her layered  highlights and lowlights with four different colors, which not only gave the hair a sense of being multi-dimentional, but also gave new life to it. Afterwards a new haircut was in place, and Yoshiko opted to shorten the hair slightly more in the back than in the front, and with one heavy bang over the eyes. Injecting a sense of both lightness and strength to her face at the same time.

 

Very happy with both their results,

 

 

 

—Update!—
Amanda more or less wanted the same color as last time, but ‘fresher’. She decided to go for a soft ombre color for her hair then and a bit of more contrast in the hair to spice it up would be ideal also.

So Yoshiko added the soft ombre and ashy color, and a bit of toner. At last she gave her a stylish cut.

And the result is awesome as always, especially the contrast gives her a cooler aura. ;D

Is more contrast possible? Well this time Amanda wanted to test those waters and go even further. A bob style hair shape was also something she had in mind again.

Yoshiko freshened her colors up again, added darker and lighter ones, with more contrast and then gave her the bob shape cut with a lovely sweep to the side.

Amazing cute result this time! Bobshape fits her well indeed.  Especially the side sweep looks good. Lets see what happens next time.

–Update!–
This time Amanda went for even shorter hair than before, and with a good amount of lowlights, giving her an overall cooler look. She had played with ligther colors for a while and it was time for her to try something different.

The highlights are also sharper than her usual ones, which were softer and tried to create less contrast. Looks awesome!
