Natural/Starting Level: “Prior to creating the dusty violet rose look, we lifted her Level 3 hair and did a dark charcoal gray,” notes Georgette. “The day of her pink appointment, she came in with an inch of her natural Level 3 hair and the charcoal gray had faded into a Level 7.5/8 with some warmth.”

 

Pricing: “Since I worked on prelightened hair, the price to apply the color on this length and desnsity was $130,” shares Georgette.
