This morning, I headed to Michael Kemper salon to meet my new hair stylist, Chuck, who came highly recommended by my best friend Candice.
I was a little nervous at first, but I felt comfortable right away and he really took the time to go over what I wanted. I asked him to keep me a brunette, give me a bit of a very subtle ombre look and also to not start any of my blonde highlights in my roots.
We decided to dye all of my roots with a demi-permanent color that’s very close to my natura color (but slightly darker) and then drag that color though some pieces that were too blonde left over from previous dying.
So glad I finally took the plunge and had my hair colored and cut! I’ll take some pictures with my DSLR tomorrow.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend 🙂

You look lovely and the ombre is definitely a subtle yet beautiful change! I'm really tempted to do the same now 🙂

It looks great, Veronika! And I can tell just from the photos that you're way happier than what happened last time. I had no idea they did ombre by teasing the hair like that… learn something new everyday!

Looks beautiful! I love it darker, along the lines of your natural color 😉 so much easier to maintain!
Emma says
Your hair looks great! Completely natural-looking and subtle. I also love what you said in the previous post about asking for "Victorie's Secret model" hair at the salon– sums it up perfectly.

Looks fantastic! I've never colored my hair, I'm scared to. I'll have to eventually because the greys are coming in. I'll reference your posts about hair color when its time for me to take the plunge.

It came out really pretty and natural looking! I love your cut too!

I've always thought you have great hair, but it looks exceptionally healthy today!

WOW!! It looks great, V, and I love how much darker it is – really suits you (as the blonder version did before, as well – lucky girl!! :).
Interesting teasing technique, good to know!

I LOVE your new hair color!!! You looked beautiful before but I think the darker color complements your skin color. Have a great weekend!

Your hair looks gorgeous! If only I had had these photos today. I got my hair colored and while the result is okay, I think that some of the highlights are too yellow, so I'll be taking your pictures (along with some of your inspiration pics too) to the salon next time. Can't wait to see high def pics!

Btw, Johnny Ramirez works at the Neil George Salon, and everyone who does color there is amazing. I've never been lucky enough to go, but they post before and afters on their blog (https://neilgeorgeblog.com/) and the color always looks amazing. It's a great site for inspiration photos.

Your hair look so healthy! Love the new look. xo, tasha
Ella Pretty Blog says
Love your ombre hair – I think the "teasing-before-highlighting" technique is crucial…I really DON'T like the DIY ombre hair styles where people end up with a harsh band of color at the bottom of their hair with no blending – not cute at all.
But your hair looks AMAZING – so glad you found someone who was able to do such a perfect job.

Love the rich chocolate brown and the subtle ombre…it looks gorgeous!!
Schnelle says
Your hair looks amazing! I love it! I broght the same picture of Rachael Bilson to the salon and I love my subtle ombre lowlights too- one of the best changes that I've made to my hair in a long time.

I love it Veronika! It looks so much richer and has much more depth! 😉
Katie says
Looks amazing! I have almost exactly the same base color as you do and unfortunately had highlights like yours (previously) put into my previously untouched hair. Tomorrow I go in to have it fixed and hope to achieve a similar look to yours!
