Dramatic Change

Every client has a haircolor or style in mind that they would never picture on themselves. This blog is a personal story from one of my clients about how dramatic change, an open mind, and putting trust and faith in your stylist can change your life in ways you never thought. This is my favorite hair story in my career so far and the one that I am most proud of. Laura Gruber is a nashvillian who is currently a student at Middle Tennessee State University. I met her two years ago when I began dating her brother. She is branded with Venezuelan beauty. She is a beautiful latina woman who embraces her life and always has fun where ever she is. When I met her she had long platinum blonde hair. Laura is a beautiful girl who can pull off any look, so obviously it looked great. In the back of my mind I knew that I could take her look to the next level, it would just take time and trust building. I did her hair blonde for about 5 months, building her trust. I dropped little hints about maybe going a shade darker. But I knew she was hesitant. Finally after subtle hints and convincing her that she would love it, she agreed. I knew that I would gradually go darker. You never want to shock a client. It is also a smart when taking a blonde darker to do it gradually over time to keep it from having a muddy green look. When you paint a white wall dark it takes many coats. I must admit while coloring I was quite nervous, I knew she would love it but this was quite a change. When we finished we were both so excited! It was so rich and beautiful. Her eyes popped off her face and I knew we had a winner! Being such a personal friend to her I noticed so many changes in her life after becoming brunette. This week she decided she wanted to take her brown hair, which lasted her 5 months without touchups, to black with caramel highlights! She completely loves it! This is proof that in life you cannot be afraid of change. Some times it can make life even better than you ever imagined. Its so important to not set limits on yourself with hair. Hair is an accessory that can improve your overall look. It doesn't have to be the same all the time because your life isn't the same all the time. If there is something you never considered just go for it!
