It’s lived-in, low-maintenance and glamorous: This beige brunette is perfect for dark bases looking for a subtle change with “expensive brunette” vibes. 2023 Long Cut #ONESHOT Winner and La Mu salon owner Sireen Rafeeq (@shireen.rafeeq) shared her maintenance tips, application tips and pricing breakdown for this look below—keep scrolling to get her color formulas!

 

Who Is The Ideal Client?

This technique is great for clients with dark bases who aren’t looking for a major transformation. This color is super lived-in and because of the level of lift, it fades to a cooler tone without brassiness.

 

The ideal client also has to be willing to commit to the proper aftercare to correctly maintain the look: “You will need color-safe products and to come in for a toner every eight to twelve weeks,” Shireen explains.

Shireen’s client was back for their second color correction which turned into a four-hour appointment. She charged a total of $565, and here’s what clients can expect from their appointment:

FORMULA STEPS

1. Weave small sections to apply Formula A. “A must-know tip is to use small sections for a blended look. Lift light and tone deeper for a nice fade-out,” Shireen explains. This look relies on a higher lift to be toned down to avoid fading brassy.

 

2. Apply Formula B to zone one and Formula C to zone two. Process until the desired result is achieved.

 

3. Wash and style as desired.
