Why My Love for Colour Is Permanent

As a hair stylist, I’ve travelled the world — London, France, Italy, Africa, and beyond.
Across every country and every industry space, one thing has remained constant: the importance of a colour brand that delivers reliable, beautiful results.

Whether I’m working on editorial photo shoots or behind the chair in the salon, I trust colour that performs under pressure and translates seamlessly from industry work to real life. Colour that allows my clients to walk away knowing they were given the best professional tools for long-lasting results — shine, vibrancy, and integrity that holds over time.

This look was created using highlights and lowlights only, with no base colour, allowing dimension and movement to do the work.

Colour Formula Used:

* Highlights:
 Blond Studio Multi-Techniques 8
  Mixed 1:1.5 with 20 vol, lifted to a clean level 8
* Lowlights:
 34 (Gold Copper) + 7.3 (Gold)
 Deposit only with low developer
* Gloss / Finish:
 3 (Golden)
 34 (Gold Copper)
 Pinch of 7.3 (Gold)
 Finished with low-volume developer to unify shine and tone

The result is a dimensional beige-gold blonde — luminous, controlled, and designed to last.

That’s why my relationship with colour isn’t temporary.
It’s permanent.

As a hair stylist, I’ve travelled the world, London, France, Italy, Africa and so forth. And what everyone have in common is the consistency of a great brand that delivers colour that satisfy not only industry work, which is my photo shoots, but also in salon work that where we  let the client walk away knowing that they got the best tool to give them long lasting result. Long lasting results shine and vibrancy.  #mlcp @lorealpro_education_canada @beautyhubmagazine @donnadolphy_world

She came in as a client… and walked out as the face of the brand.—she was the muse.

Butterfly layers. Curtain fringe. Wet finish.

No makeover. Just unveiling.

Butterfly layers, long curtain fringe,
wet-look texture, editorial finish.

Everyday woman.
Runway presence.

This is hair artistry.
