When Sean came in, his hair extended down past his neckline. Wanting a change, he came to Afrodita.

He and Yoshiko discussed different ways they could go, and decided to go with a roundish bowl cut, but with a lot of texture added to it.

The result is an incredible change. Besides the obvious cutting off of a lot of hair, he was given front bangs that swoop down to the side. Sean now has a style that’ll catch eyes of those around.

When Mimi came to  us for thefirst time, she desired to brighten up her hair and add a little color and bangs to her hairstyle. But she still wanted to keep the length she currently had.

She wanted a new base color with accenting highlights. Yoshiko gave her an ashy pink color with two different types of highlights. One a violet tone, the other a rose tone.

She kept Mimi’s hair length about the same, but Yoshiko texturized it and gave it a more balanced look to the way it rests. Then Yoshiko temporarily curled her hair by ironing it, just to let her see how her hair could look after by curling it. And she liked what she saw, so she decided to come back when her hair was long enough for a digital perm.

So, five months later, Mimi came back to Afrodita to correct her root colors and perm her hair. The root part of her hair showed the original dark color, which had to be dealt with.

Yoshiko touched up the hair root, then did the digital perm to make hair to mantain the curly hairstyle. From now on Mimi doesn’t have to do ironing every day to perm the hair any more. Yay! The front part was trimmed to have a fringe, the finish.

Her wonderful smile says all there needs to be said, she’s happy with her cutezy look, and when she’s happy, we’re happy!

We’re all happy! Have a nice day!      \/ 😀

She was back to get her nice hair style maintained. Theres not much to say about it other than its still pretty and fits her well.

Aimee already had beautiful locks, but there was a little bit of coloring on her roots showing up that she wanted to cover up.

Yoshiko gave her natural-color highlights to conceal the unwanted color. Afterward, toner was applied to give off a natural, sun-bleached look. Her hair was then thinned out to decrease some of its volume.

The result is radiant hair that not only looks healthy, but also youthful. With a slight trim and highlighting, Aimee has a bright, new  glow.

Valerie came in with hair lacking luster and in need of rejuvenation. Yoshiko and her talked and figured out what needed to be done.

She didn’t like the yellow base of highlights that she had prior–she wanted to go a little bit cooler. This in turn would help make the shades look more natural.

Valerie’s natural hair color is not so dark, but the color looks a bit flat. Yoshiko gave her highlights and lowlights to add some vibrancy and life to it. Afterward, toner was applied to ensure a natural appearance.

It was the day before her wedding when Ananda came to Afrodita. She wanted a major change for her big day.

Her hair was just past her shoulders and, she wanted it longer. After consulting with Yoshiko, they decided microtip extensions were the solution.

Both the color of her natural hair and extensions were matched to an ashy blonde so that the added wisps would look natural.

The result was natural-looking hair that almost reached down to the middle of her back. The 200 (!!) microtip extensions gave her the look and length she was looking for.

Ananda, we hope you had a wonderful wedding day!
