When Carlee Jo Caponetto’s (@lushloxbycarleejo) client came into ReHab Hair Salon in Kansas City, Mo. looking for a seasonal color makeover, Carlee drew inspiration from the fall color palette (warm reds, vibrant coppers and soft golds) to create a multidimensional custom color—and she did it all in one process! Since our members couldn’t get enough of Carlee’s autumn blend, we asked her for her formula and how-to. See how she achieved the look below!
