You may have noticed that sometime in the past couple of weeks, my ombre went from blonde to blue and I'm absolutely in love with the change. Don't get me wrong, I was obsessed with my blonde ombre which took me about 8 months (you can see
here and
here) to achieve the look I had desired; but I was ready for a somewhat drastic and edgier change.
When my friend Casie of
Conway Grooming contacted me about changing up my hair, I knew I couldn't refuse; she is the queen of coloring hair with colorful dyes. We discussed going grey, blue, or purple, and settled on a mixture of grey (titanium), sapphire blue, and a touch of indigo. Before being able to dye my hair a fun color, Casie had to bayalage my current ombre to lighten it up (oh the woes of having dark hair).
I love that Casie is based out of downtown Costa Mesa right near where the freeway ends on the way to Newport Beach. She is currently working from salon suite #18 at
Sola Salons, and it is just the darn cutest nook to be doing hair out of. There's just enough space where it doesn't seem cramped or too open. Casie immediately welcomed me and asked if I wanted a refreshment, so I selected a soda beverage. A plus in my book is that there's wifi available, so I was able to get some work done while she did my hair.
The entire process took approximately 6 hours which included bayalaging my hair (lightening, washing and drying), dying the various colors (applying fashion colors to my ombre, drying and washing), and then a cut and style (a couple inches to keep my ends healthy and a blow out).
I have had nothing but compliments and I am just so glad I dove for a switch up like this! The color of my hair photographs really well, and it's always interesting to see all the various hues show up in under the sunlight. If you're looking for any kind of color change, change-up, or haircut/style, you need to visit Casie! See her entire
