Jessica wanted her curls to look dark, glossy and healthy, while still keeping that subtle dimension that makes textured hair come alive. Her ends had lightened and turned a little brassy from the summer sun, so this was the perfect moment to deepen the tone and add a high-shine gloss that complemented her skin beautifully. I used Redken Shades EQ, starting with 04NB through the roots and pulling it into selected sections, then blending 04NB into 06NCH for soft dimension. I added Olaplex No.1 into every formula, followed with No.2, then finished with the Pro Scalp Treatment and Rich Hydration Mask for strength and condition.
Anisa probably has the most recognisable hair on Instagram. It is so iconic that she once got spotted from behind in Paris – and I was there to witness it! So, when she asked for a cut with more layers and face-framing movement, the pressure was very real. Luckily, her hair is incredible to work with, so I added soft layers through the lengths and face-framing pieces that start at the cheekbones to give her that signature swish and volume. I treated her hair with the Olaplex Rich Hydration Mask, then styled everything with my ghd Soft Curl Tong for maximum shine and bounce.
Melanie already has incredible hair, but after a busy run of styling and travel, it needed a little love. We kept her natural look but elevated it with Remi Cachet tape extensions, adding a touch of length and a lot of fullness. Before adding the tapes, I refreshed her colour to brighten her balayage, then used a blend of extension shades to create that lived-in dimension she wears so well. The result was soft, voluminous, Sporty Spice hair that still felt completely like her.
My gorgeous friend Tanya has been living her blonde life for a few years, and recently we have been softening her look into a more natural, blended melt. She loves staying blonde through the lengths, but still wants that cool girl rooted finish that feels expensive and effortless. To create it, I matched her natural shade with Redken Shades EQ 06NB and 05G at the roots, then melted it into 09VG through the ends for a seamless transition. I always add Olaplex into the formulas to keep her blonde strong, glossy and healthy.
Zoe wanted a richer, longer look for winter, so we retired her summer blonde balayage and created what we named the ‘Gilmore Gloss’. I started with Redken Color Gels Oils in 04N at the root, then melted it into Shades EQ 09NB and 08GG through the mid-lengths and ends to give that glossy, cosy depth. To finish the transformation, I added 22-inch Remi Cachet tape extensions for serious length and fullness. We styled her new hair into Zoe’s signature soft waves using my ghd Chronos Max for that perfect shine.
