Who Is the Ideal Client for This Type of Technique?
According to Andrea, this is the perfect refresh for someone who’s feeling too blonde or washed out by overly cool tones. “It’s great for clients who want to bring some softness and richness back into their hair,” she says, especially if they’re after something flattering without relying on makeup or a tan.
What Does Maintenance Look Like?
Andrea recommends booking maintenance appointments every 8 to 10 weeks to refresh lowlights and gloss. At home, clients should stick to color-safe, hydrating products to maintain shine and prevent fading.
Are There Any Must-Know Tips With This Technique?
“Filling is a must,” Andrea says. She reaches for warm gold and auburn/ash shades for color corrections or tone shifts to create a healthy base and avoid flat results.
