00:07My name is Larissa Love, and I am a colorist, and we are here in Studio City in my salon.
00:13I became a salon owner about eight years ago. I've basically been working for myself for 12
00:20years now. I specialize in color. I love big transformations. Today I'm going to be giving
00:26Katarina a Selena Gomez-inspired blonde balayage look. What I've been seeing trending right now
00:33is modern luxury, low-maintenance look. So this is gonna be the perfect look that's gonna be combining
00:39with her skin tone and with her eyes. My hair journey really started 10 years ago when I got
00:46my hair dyed, and it was a disaster, so I've been scarred ever since. But today I am getting revenge,
00:54and I'm gonna get my dream hair. What made me choose this look was seeing how Selena Gomez really
01:02looked bright and happy with her blonde hair, and I really think it'll make me feel the same.
01:08Hi, my name is Larissa Love, and I'm gonna be doing your hair today. I'm Katarina. It's such a pleasure
01:13to meet you. It's so nice to meet you. So let's go ahead and take a look at your beautiful,
01:18luscious hair.
01:18So, a few questions. When is the last time you had your hair colored? I had my hair colored like
01:2410 years ago.
01:25So what do you want to do today? I really liked this look on Selena Gomez, just like the blonde
01:32balayage.
01:33Are you open to cutting some length? Oh, yes. So if we cut off about three inches, then we'll want
01:40to cut off all the dead ends,
01:41but it also will give you just lots of movement into your hair. Okay. I also think that some beautiful
01:47long curtain bangs
01:48will accentuate those gorgeous cheekbones that you have. I would absolutely love that. That sounds great.
01:54Gorgeous. Just like Selena's hair is gorgeous. And now let's talk about the color. So for your skin tone,
01:59you do have an olive complexion. You do have a light complexion. So you don't want to do anything that
02:05is too cool toned,
02:06because it's going to just wash you out. So the perfect color for your skin tone, I would say like
02:12a warm beige.
02:13So giving you a gorgeous, gradual blend, not bringing up the color too high up,
02:19will have like almost like a melting down into gorgeous blonde dimensional tones on the ends.
02:25How does that sound? I love that so much. I am ready for a huge transformation. Are you?
02:31I am so ready. I'm so excited. All right, let's go. We're going to have my gorgeous co-artist, G,
02:40helping us out today.
02:41Nice to meet you. So she's going to go ahead and robe you up and get you all set for
02:45today.
02:46First, I'm going to be cutting off some length, give her some layers in the front,
02:49and then we're going to go ahead and start prepping her with Jocotify Damage Pro 1.
02:54It's going to make her hair far time stronger and reduce any breakage into her hair.
02:59I'm going to section her hair out into sections and then I'm going to go ahead and prep the lightener.
03:05And I'm going to start foiling her hair in the front section.
03:08I'm going to work my way around the hairline and then I'm going to start working my way up towards
03:14the top Mohawk section.
03:16Then I'm going to go ahead and go on the sides and then start my way towards the back.
03:22Once I'm finished with the back, I'm going to go ahead and let her process anywhere from 30 to 50
03:29minutes.
03:29I'm going to want to get a nice lift of level nine to nine and a half.
03:35And once she's lifted, we're going to go ahead and wash her out with Jocotify Damage Shampoo.
03:40Once she's washed out, I'm going to be applying K-Bond 20 Mask on her mid to ends and leave
03:46it on for five minutes.
03:47Then I'm going to go ahead and tone her with Joico Liquid Luma Shine.
03:51Once she is finished with her toning, I'm going to bring her to the chair and I'm going to finish
03:55off her haircut.
03:57I'm going to go ahead and blow dry her hair and then I'm going to finish off her haircut by
04:02doing a dry textured haircut.
04:04And then I'm going to finish styling her hair, give her a little bend to the hair and voila, she's
04:10all done and gorgeous.
04:11And now, time for the reveal.
04:14Open your eyes.
04:16Oh my God.
04:19Are we obsessed?
04:20When I saw myself in the mirror, I was like, this is a brand new identity.
04:25Like, this is a brand new me.
04:27A whole new side of me that I am so excited to explore.
04:31I feel so happy and I can't wait to just walk with confidence with this look.
04:37I've always wondered what I looked like with this kind of hair.
04:39Well, now you don't have to wonder anymore.
04:42So pretty.
04:43I absolutely love the color.
04:46Larissa is such a genius because she just matched it perfectly to my undertones.
04:52I'm just blown away.
04:54So the upkeep is going to be a little bit more maintenance than what you're used to, but it's still
04:58going to be very low maintenance for you.
05:00A few things that I recommend for you is first, the violet shampoo.
05:04It's going to cool down your blonde, so as your hair starts fading, it's going to fade too warm.
05:10And you want to cool it down, neutralize it with a violet shampoo conditioner.
05:14My favorite is by Joico.
05:15And you would be using that maybe every third to fourth wash.
05:19Okay.
05:19I would recommend Defy Damage shampoo conditioner.
05:23That's going to keep your hair color protected.
05:25It's going to keep your bonds and your hair strong.
05:28And it's just going to replenish and nourish your hair.
05:31And then the last thing that I recommend for you is the K-Bond 20 mask.
05:36You're going to use this once a week in your hair.
05:39And once you shampoo your hair, you're going to leave this in your hair for five minutes.
05:43It's going to re-strengthen, repair, restore your broken bonds.
05:46And just keep your hair super, super healthy.
05:49Okay?
05:50Awesome.
05:50And then I want to see you in my chair every three months for a gloss and just a little
05:56trim reshape.
05:57And you're good to go.
05:59You're so welcome.
06:00Oh my God.
06:01This is so...
06:02You're a whole new woman.
06:03Selena Gomez who?
