Shadow root, ombré, smoky hues and hints of violet—so many trends all rolled into one stunning color creation! This look is courtesy of Lynn Huynh and Kimemily Pham of Excellent Hair Salon & Spa in Fremont Calif. Lynn and Kimemily’s client came to them with previously balayaged hair and wanted to go darker but maintain her ombré look. So together they transformed their client from a faded ombré to a smoky sombre. Here’s how they did it.   Pricing: $250
