My Process TRIANGULATION Colleen Jamieson, Aidan James Salon, Nashua, New Hampshire 1. Create the highlights first. (This model is a natural Level 5.) Section the hair into asymmetrical triangular sections, leaving the very front section out. Begin behind the front section. Apply a rich mahogany to the root area—here, 25-volume developer mixed with equal parts of a Level-8 double-red permanent color. Then, apply 30-volume developer with equal parts of the 8RR shade to the midshaft and ends, and seal the foil. 2. Add three more triangles, pivoting off the points of each triangle. Then balance the remaining hair. Here, a formula of equal parts 10-volume developer with permanent Level 5 red-brown and a neutral Level 4 was used. Process the hair for 30 minutes, then shampoo. When your clients are bored with brunette plus highlights, reach for your reds and rely on creative placement. 3. Towel dry and glaze with a formula that’s equal parts semipermanent brunette and red. Process for 20 minutes with heat. Shampoo and condition. TIP: Processing the foils and the formula for the rest of the hair simultaneously saves time. A semipermanent glaze seals in color and adds vibrancy, which is essential with fast-fading reds. CAREER CONNECTION NEW AVENUE: THE ONLINE PRO Got a question about furthering your career?

He simply signed up at the “All Experts” website and sent in his credentials—34 years in the business and a position as a national educator and Director of Textures for IT&LY Hairfashion. “I limit questions to three a day and spend 45 minutes to an hour on them,” he says. “Questions come from all over the world.” What’s he asked about most, globally speaking? “How to fix home hair color. The most common problems are too-dark brunettes and orange-rooted blondes. I never tell anyone how to fix color at home; I refer them to a salon or a cosmetology school if money is a factor.” JULY 2008 www.modernsalon.com Photography by Kevin Bryan; make-up by Linda Mazzola.
