Makeover for the Dull Hair
I have been wearing this jet black hair for the last 10 years and I thought it was time for a change but I was in two minds to colour my hair and cut a bob or do some curls. When I walked into Black Hair Salon that day, I ditched the idea of ceramic curls and decided to colour my hair ombre when I saw the pictures of their customers.
The colour technician at Black Hair Salon Frankie was excited to colour my hair because my ‘virgin’ hair is long allowing him to do more colours in the ombre. “I am a mother! So nothing to loud or young punk please!” was my response to him. With my conservative mummy persona in mind, Frankie bleached my hair preparing the under layers of my hair for the ombre colours and the crown for reddish brown.
The whole process of bleaching, washing, colouring and treatment for my hair took 5 hours. I must confess I wouldn’t be able to sit still for 5 hours had it not for Black Hair Salon’s wifi and my laptop. One would think walking into Black Hair Salon, one would walk out with darker hair, but I left feeling like a new woman with beautiful ombre coloured hair!
Although the ombre colours took Black Hair Salon 5 hours, I was told by many friends it is considered really fast and the ombre colour was beautiful and was done to perfection! The ombre colours is expected to last for 2 months but my ombre hair lasted beyond the time frame – it is been 3 months after my ombre colour treatment and I still have people telling me my hair is gorgeous! When I was having my hair coloured, everyone around me was there for the same thing, colour their hair, so it must mean they are very good and renowned for this service! I would definitely recommend Black Hair Salon to anyone who want their hair coloured because the hair products they use (brands like Goldwell and Pravana) are good and helps maintain long lasting colours and shine.
