Hair by Amanda Burns

Ever wonder how to get vibrant, vivid pops of color that still look luxurious and deep? This look is all about contrast and placement!

​Instead of an all-over bleach and tone, we kept a rich, dark base to anchor the look and used a foiliage to weave in these bright red pieces. This technique creates high-impact color without sacrificing depth or the hair's integrity.

We love a new hair install! ✨

​I HIGHLY recommend that if you have dark hair and want to add dimension, you consider extensions. It’s a great, zero-damage way to add lighter pieces into your hair. If you ever get tired of it, you can simply take them out and go dark again—no bleach required!

​(And remember, length isn't the only reason to get extensions!)

​We used 2 rows of 24" DreamCatchers Hair Extensions weft extensions for this transformation!

I am a professional at a lot of things. One of them being talking people out of pastel colors.

Don’t get me wrong—I love them. They just don’t last. You get way more bang for your buck if you go a little darker and let it fade out, especially with pink!
However...she stuck to her guns and wanted to keep it pastel (we went just a hint darker than her original inspo, though).

When a client knows the risks, commits to the proper at-home care, and is ready for the maintenance, I am 100% on board to make it happen. And honestly? I am absolutely obsessing over these results using Danger Jones.

What do we think—did she make the right call sticking to pastel? Let me know in the comments! 👇

This chart-topper is easily one of my favorite vivid creations to date!

​We combined a stunning neon prism overlay with a hidden split-dye underneath to give you ultimate versatility. Depending on how you style it—sleek and straight or bouncy and curled—you get a completely different, mesmerizing show of color every single day.

No lightener, no problem.

​Transitioning from a faded pink vivid to this gorgeous, dimensional brunette/caramel melt is all about trusting the color wheel and using advanced color theory—no bleach required!

​People often ask why color corrections are an investment. This is exactly why: the expertise to neutralize, tone, and completely transform your hair while keeping its integrity completely intact.

Summer is officially here! While the warmer weather, sun, and swimming are wonderful, they can be tough on vivid hair colors. To help your color stay vibrant all season long, here are a few professional tips for protecting your hair:

* **Prioritize UV Protection:** Treat your hair like your skin. Wear a hat or apply a UV-protectant hair product before spending time outdoors to prevent sun-induced fading.

* **The "Pre-Swim" Barrier:** Before jumping into a lake or the ocean, soak your hair with fresh water first, then apply a cream-based leave-in conditioner. This helps saturate your strands and acts as a barrier to keep color from bleeding.

* **Wash with Care:** Since you may be washing your hair more frequently due to summer activities, always use cold water and a shampoo specifically labeled as color-safe(not just sulfate-free).

* **Avoid Chlorinated Water:** Chlorine can strip vivid color almost instantly. If you must swim in a pool, follow the "pre-swim" tip mentioned above, and keep your hair above the water line as much as possible.

* **Minimize Heat Styling:** Give your hair a break by air-drying whenever you can. Reducing heat styling helps maintain moisture and prevents unnecessary stress on your color.

While vivid colors require a little extra effort during the summer months, these simple steps can help you keep your hair looking beautiful all season long!
